We can’t go to the bank.
Can’t go to work, to the grocery store, to the airport, to our places of worship, to a farmer’s market, a concert, a nightclub, a dance hall, a movie or a doctor’s office.
Our kids can’t go to a parade, to the mall or to school.
You can’t ring the wrong doorbell, pull down the wrong driveway or accidentally hop in the wrong car, without fear of being shot.
Shot and killed.
In a nation with more guns than people, this has become our reality.
But it is not normal.
And it sure as shit is not ok.
@deborahduffy@LaCienegaBlvdss I have 4 kiddos and tried in ALL my power to keep my kiddos quiet on flights- to the point that we'd take red-eye flights so they could sleep and not bother anyone. There were the occasional (rare) flights when a kiddo became irritable but NEVER for longer than 5 or 10 minutes.
This hurts me as a mom to my core.
I have sent my sons to pick up their sibs for me a zillion times😢😢😢😢😢😢 This ONLY happens here😫😫😫😫
I am just so thankful he is alive 🙏🏾
BREAKING: The gun used in yesterday’s Louisville bank shooting was an AR-15-style rifle, federal law enforcement says.
The SAME gun more than 30 law enforcement officers were AFRAID to confront in Uvalde that left 19 children dead.
The SAME gun that’s been
the weapon of choice in many of the most horrific mass shootings in recent memory, including the Covenant school shooting in Nashville just two weeks ago.
The SAME gun brandished by Republican radicals like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert.
The SAME gun worn as a pin on the lapels of disgusting GOP lawmakers.
This is what we need to scream everywhere:
If 30 armed officers wearing full tactical gear with ballistic shields are too afraid to confront a single gunman with an AR-15, they SHOULD NOT be in the hands of civilians.
We have the answer. It’s the guns.
BAN ASSAULT RIFLES NOW.
JUST IN: Reps. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson will likely be reappointed to their seats after they were expelled from the Tennessee House!!
For Jones, his now empty seat will be filled by the Metro Nashville Council, and a majority of members already say they’ll reappoint Jones back to the seat for the duration before the special elections occurring later this year.
For Pearson, The Shelby County Commission, which has a Democratic majority, is expected to do something similar.
This is GREAT NEWS! 💙
Our 8th grade Stingrays having a well deserved exam dance break. Of course our teachers are ending 2022 with a win. Love my Stingrays 💙💚 Happy Holidays @HCPS_SumnerHS
All I can say about Kevin Samuels is if you spend your time disrespecting people in life, don’t be surprised at people disrespecting you in death. No matter how cruel it may be, the legacy you leave behind will be known by the fruit you bore while you were here.
I believe in freedom. Whether you wear a mask is your right. When Governor DeSantis bullied these kids, he proved he doesn't believe in freedom. He shows us who he really is.
