I knew the El Paso shooter was a white man when they started talking about how the brain isn’t fully formed at 21. Because they treat black children like adults at 9, 10, 11, and 12.
In the wake of yet another mass shooting, this time inside a Wal-Mart in El Paso with multiple fatalities, @Walmart is expressing “shock.” You know what? Do more. Show responsibility and leadership. Halt the sale of firearms and ammunition at your stores nationwide.

@llmunro I'm so torn on the whole idea of buying a house (not that it's a real option in the near future anyway). I've changed jobs so many times, owning feels like a trap. Then again, I daydream about planting apple trees and blueberry bushes. 🤷🏼♀️
