FYI this isn't stopping. There have been 18 mass shootings SINCE Uvalde.
You need to know this. Because it's not going to stop until we do something.
1/ Here's just a sampling of the slaughter in the last six days:
I’m thinking about how a mom ran in and got her own kid, even after being handcuffed. I’m thinking about how the subway shooter was found by ordinary people. I’m thinking about how every dollar we give cops takes money from communities and gives it to guys who don’t protect us.
Black people are being gunned down at the grocery store. Asian Americans are being gunned down at Church. Little children are being gunned down at school. How can we fight terrorism abroad when we can’t even identify it in our own back yard. Call it what it is. TERRORISM.
This breaks me because that baby has my name. I am a big sister. Kadence I’m sending your family as much love and peace as I can. Makenna, you deserved a better world than what you were given. I pray we can strive toward creating the world my baby needs, the world Makenna needed.
I cannot imagine being the president, seeing these tragedies happening over and over, and merely tweeting about it with no substance or tangible change attached to it. Purely performative.
The idea that an 18-year-old can walk into a store and buy assault weapons is just wrong.
What in God’s name do you need an assault weapon for except to kill someone?
Men/Boys being violent isn’t new. Men/Boys hating women/girls isn’t new. But the ability to isolate yourself, log onto a computer & be in a community of other likeminded men/boys who find comfort & community in this violence & hate is still fairly new.
Y’all are NOT going to be able to LLC, or Individualism your way out of a recession. Community building will. Start now if you haven’t already. Ride shares, food kitchens, housing, etc. We’re going to need each other, because neither political party is going to save us.
This thread will be dedicated to the victims of the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
As a parent, my heart is broken seeing these faces and their ages.
My condolences to their families during this difficult time 🙏🏻
