I cannot stop thinking about three families who sent their children to elementary school this morning and will never bring them home again.
So spare me the fucking thoughts and prayers.
Spare me the speeches about how now isn't the time to talk about guns.
And spare me the politicians who have spent YEARS refusing meaningful gun-safety laws while telling the rest of us that massacred children are somehow the unavoidable price America must pay for their interpretation of the Second Amendment.
FUCK THAT.
Children being slaughtered in their elementary school is not the price of freedom.
It is a fucking national disgrace.
And don't even start with “if the teachers were armed.”
They're TEACHERS.
They went to work today to teach children how to read and multiply and make friends. They are not fucking marksmen. Turning an elementary school into a crossfire because politicians refuse to confront America's gun problem isn't a solution. It's insanity.
Three children are dead.
Three families have been destroyed.
Hundreds of other little kids just experienced something no child should ever see.
So to every politician who blocks meaningful gun-safety laws and then races to a microphone after another classroom fills with blood:
Keep your fucking thoughts and prayers.
Do your fucking job.

The United States convinced Ukraine to willingly give up their nuclear weapons by promising to protect them from Russian aggression. Here we are, decades later, betraying their trust. Those who support Vladimir Putin are the enemies of freedom and democracy
🚨EPIC: Gina Hinojosa couldn’t get coward Greg Abbott to agree to a debate, so she held one outside his mansion without him.
“What time is it? Well, I guess the governor is a no-show - Which is not surprising, because he has been a no-show for Texans for years.” Perfect shade.
@AMinerDetail This is right out of the Trump playbook. Don’t like what a female reporter is saying then start yelling at her & disrespecting her. Surprised he didn’t start calling her names too. Andy is an idiot & needs to go. Kudos to Cat for being awesome & we need more journalists like her!
@AMinerDetail@RepAndyHarrisMD doing his best, pathetic Trump impression trying to intimidate a confident, young woman doing her job. Not only innappropriate, but he also didn't know the law. He tried to tell her she couldn't record. I guess it's too much to ask him to know Maryland law.
@AMinerDetail J-schools need to teach this kind of confidence again. She's not being obnoxious or confrontational or mean or spiteful or belittling. She's holds her ground standing face to face with authority.
@jbernardh taught us this at @ohiou. I hope other profs do it for their students.
@AMinerDetail Andy Harris threatened that he would have Cat Murphy arrested for exercising her first Amendment rights as a young journalist.
Cat Murphy stood her ground.
Cat Murphy knew her rights as an American journalist.
How about the real hero of this Andy Harris story: Cat Murphy?
This is who every father wants their daughter to aspire to.
A young journalist holding a nearly shouting United States congressman, pointing in her face, hovering over, all because she did her job?
Hero.
“Your son leaves as Jimmy and comes back home in three days as Janet, and they don’t even ask you.” — Donald Trump
If you believe this is happening in schools, you’re a fucking idiot.
