@dvesean Same, 3rd grade teacher was inconsolable. None of us knew what assassination meant. Parents were distraught. Very tough time, even as a young kid.
I had a memory flash of July 4, 1976. I was in the Navy, stationed in Massachusetts and so proud to represent my country on its 200th birthday. Today I grieved for what our country has become. I want to feel pride in my country again during my lifetime.
Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks—keeps it simple without being condescending.
“The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion. I don’t know a lot of people who think we’d be better off if our lives had more uniformity, inequity, and exclusion.” @PeteButtigieg

It’s not the drag queens.
It’s not the pot, not the porn, not the trans kids, not the video games, it’s not the locks on the doors, and it sure as shit ain’t the books about Rosa Parks.
You wanna PROTECT OUR KIDS?
Then do something about the motherfucking guns.
