I’m just curious why it’s age appropriate for kids k-5 to learn about hiding under desks and not that sometimes people have two dads.

It’s worth repeating. A mom drove there. Got handcuffed. Got out of handcuffs. Hopped a fence. Went inside the school and walked out with her two kids. All while 19 officers waited outside the classroom where the gunman was. #UvaldePolice #Uvalde

Never saw a fireman stand outside a burning building because they were too scared to go in. Maybe that’s why there aren’t any “fuck the fire department” songs.

Weird that cops have no problem kicking down doors when serving their no-knock warrants and killing unarmed people like Breonna Taylor but for some reason couldn’t do a damn thing for 47 minutes to save 19 kids and their 2 teachers

It shouldn't matter what age you are. No one needs an AR-15 or any other assault weapon designed to massacre people. When we had an assault weapons ban from 1994-2004, mass shootings went down 43%. After it expired, mass shootings tripled. End the filibuster. Ban assault weapons.

Prison staff can make a few thousand extra dollars a month smuggling in contraband, according to prisoners who’ve paid them. One man said guards usually make $1,000 each time they smuggle in a package of contraband — whether it’s cell phones or drugs. https://t.co/kWjIV4tbd2

The “superpredator” theory, besides being a racist trope, was not borne out in crime statistics. By 2000, when tens of thousands more children were supposed to be out there mugging and killing, juvenile murder arrests had fallen by two-thirds. https://t.co/3rmbLnZ3Ud

[The Marshall Project @MarshallProj]

We asked incarcerated people what might have prevented them from committing the crimes that landed them behind bars. Respondents said that affordable housing, a living wage, and mental health care would have made the most impact. https://t.co/m3NJBlEqUs

If anyone had a right to question whether our democracy was worth redeeming, it was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Because in the face of billy clubs and lynchings, poll taxes and literacy tests, he never gave in to violence, never waved a traitorous flag or gave up on our country.
