I’m a gun owner. Do not tell me our Founders conceived of this carnage when they wrote the Constitution. Do not tell me they would have tolerated this madness. Do not tell me that teachers must be armed. And do not tell me your AR15 is worth more than another 14 children’s lives.
The moment to stop Uvalde was right after Sandy Hook. After Santa Fe High. After El Paso.
Instead, Abbott made it easier to carry guns in public.
The moment to stop the next slaughter is right now.
My thoughts and prayers goes out to the families of love ones loss & injured at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, TX! Like when is enough enough man!!! These are kids and we keep putting them in harms way at school. Like seriously "AT SCHOOL" where it's suppose to be the safest!

It took a herculean effort across the globe—including the ingenuity of scientists, building on decades of research—to develop a vaccine. As a result, deaths from COVID-19 are plummeting. Our economy is rebounding. And millions of Americans are getting back to living their lives.
We stand with @CityofAtlanta, the victims of last night’s shooting, and the entire AAPI community.
We all have an obligation to stand up and speak out loudly against racism and hate whenever and wherever we see it.
We must come together to #StopAsianHate NOW.
Life expectancy dropped sharply for everyone, but much more dramatically for Blacks.
While the life expectancy of a white man dipped by eight-tenths of a year during the first six months of 2020, three years were shaved off the life of a Black man.

Deaths from COVID-19 and a surge in drug overdoses cut U.S. life expectancy by a year in early 2020.
Black men and women and Hispanic men saw the worst declines, all losing more than 2 years of life expectancy.

In 1942, Executive Order 9066 forced over 120,000 Japanese Americans into concentration camps.
Photojournalist Lucile Dandelet documented the experience of families in Los Angeles preparing for this forced relocation. Each tells the story of people forced to give up everything.
Executive Order 9066 was a shameful, cowardly, unAmerican governmental action based on ethnicity. The order deprived 120,000 Americans of their freedom and most basic liberties. This must never happen again.
