For your consideration best documentary short at the 97th annual academy. #deathbynumbers is a short film I am supremely proud to have written. Four years after being shot with a AR-15 I confront my shooter as I reckon with questions hatred and justice. Check it out!
Today is Election Day, I voted today like my life depended on it, well, because it does. Proud to say that I voted for the first female president #Kamala4President. If you spit on me, I’ll just use it to shine my shoes.
The one who saved my life and stomped the shooter’s face in was not a drag queen, she is a trans woman. Let’s not call trans women drag queens during this time of grieving over a transphobic attack.
Being American is weird.
I clock in at the office, fall asleep at my desk.
5 people died in a club in Colorado
Then my professor is wrapping up a lecture.
I’m staring at the door bracing to be shot again in my college.
Yet I worry about my credit score.
"You may have everyone else fooled, but not me." Samantha Fuentes, a #Parkland student when the shooter open-fired on her classroom, speaks directly to the man convicted of killing 17 of her classmates.

Yet again, the country is protecting the life of a domestic terrorist.
Thanks so much to all the reporters calling only minutes after the verdict, I hope y’all enjoying the spectacle while families & victims of the parkland shooting are crumbling.
I fucking hate this place.
Life in prison is NOT punishment! That is exactly what he wanted.
He will:
Be protected by the warden
Not put in general population
Be able to read, draw, receive phone calls & mail from his fans
Get married
While his 17 victims suffered in fear before he executed them
My brother will be at the hospital for a week or maybe even longer. My parents won’t be able to work, because of my brother’s health issues. My baby brother is a 16 year old victim from the uvalde park. Anything helps. 🤍🙏🏻

I’d have drowned and not been able to speak up. Without @davidhogg111@funkpuncher@manueloliver00@patriciapadauy @KimsMom3 and the other parents/survivors, I would have given up. These are just a few of this club, a club that we hope to end accepting membership to.
Love to see assault weapons ban passed in the house, and we’re only getting started. I’ve been shot by one of those fuckers, a experience I wouldn’t recommend.
17 year old @jazlikescheese lost her 10 year old sister and cousin in the Uvalde shooting. She led a group of survivors to demand a vote on the AW ban. When this assault weapons ban vote passes in the house it will be because of her leadership. Please follow her.
The guns in Parkland, Buffalo, El Paso, didn't come from Mexico. They came from the US, and the shooters were inspired by racist, anti-black, anti-immigrant manifestos that rhyme with GOP talking points.
Uvalde showed us-like many other shootings- good guy(s) cannot stop a bad guy with a gun. Cops do not protect & serve they are cowards. Families stood outside begging to get in, while the cops did nothing for 77 minutes while those children are blown to pieces. Change is overdue
