The "one door to a school" thing is so bizarrely, transparently stupid that only an idiot or a craven jackass could believe it. It denies the existence of anything like fires or tornadoes but assumes that the gun will always be with us.
We're at a critical juncture where the powers that be want to invest endlessly in cops, because they know instability is coming and they would rather police it than prevent it. It's up to us to build the power to change course and invest in care and prevention, not police.
Abolition teaches us that in place of a very narrow set of solutions (police, surveillance, prison) we need not a single alternative but a whole range of solutions and I think that applies here.
Their job isn't to protect you, which is why they're so bad at protecting you. Take money from these guys and put it into housing and hospitals and schools and you'll see a better world.

I can't get over how cops confronted the shooter at the door, let him get by them, then made up a story about body armor. While a teacher gave her life trying to defend her kids. The difference could not be clearer.
This thread will be dedicated to the victims of the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
As a parent, my heart is broken seeing these faces and their ages.
My condolences to their families during this difficult time 🙏🏻
Xavier Lopez, 10. He was a 4th grader at Robb Elementary.
@kateneuropsych Is it just me or are the primary reasons this “makes sense” to regressive Republicans: 1) they’re raising incel sons who could only give them grandkids via rape or incest 2) they want full custody & control over the kids/grandkids they create themselves via rape or incest? 🤷🏾♀️
This thread will be dedicated to the victims of the mass shooting in Buffalo.
This is Ruth Whitfield, 86. Her son, the former Buffalo Fire Commissioner, said she was on her way from visiting her husband in a nursing home and stopped at the store to get something to eat.
This technology makes us LESS FREE than women who were legally property from the moment of their birth until the day they were widowed.
Not all women were enslaved, but all women in the Christian European sphere were property of their fathers, husbands, or church.

This week really shows the absurdity of comparing the far left and the far right. A far-right white supremacist just killed 10 people in cold blood, while the establishment spent the week calling the left “too aggressive” due to peaceful protests at the houses of the powerful.
Trump’s North American Trade Agreement taxes baby formula imports at 17%+ and actively discourages importing formula from Canada. For those blaming Biden for the formula shortage.
