I needed this story today!
“This is a photo of a man at the DMV holding a baby.
The man does not know the child. They are strangers to each other.
The parents of the child were sitting next to the man, and the baby, feeling squirmy and discontent, crawled into the man's lap.
The man had just moved from one state to another, where a year prior his brother was killed.
This baby was born on that very day.
Everyone was overwhelmed to tears.
Just love. 💕”
As a parent I’m not worried that my 9 and 13 year olds are going to be “indoctrinated” with “wokeness” at school.
I’m not worried that they’re going to ‘feel guilty about their whiteness’ because they’re learning accurate history.
I’m not worried that they’re going to be “groomed” to become furries and to make their pees pees in litter boxes.
Those things aren’t real.
Wanna know what is real?
My worry that they’re going to get shot. That someone with an AR-15 is going to go into their school and shoot them.
So, while the same gun fetishizing, AR-15 lapel pin wearing, locked and loaded family Christmas card posing Republicans fear monger & manufacture crises under the guise of “parents rights”, I say this:
It is my right as a parent to send my kids to school without worrying that they will get shot.
It ain’t the drag queens, the African American history, the books with two moms or two seahorse dads which threaten our kids.
It’s the fucking guns.

@DaynaECopeland This is Quincy, my (6 year old) puppy”! He actually lives with my dad (because I realized I was too busy to give him a good home, but didn’t want to give him up!). He is sending Jack lots of sweet puppy kisses!!!
