I know I'm supposed to tweet all day about today’s school shooting at The Covenant School in Nashville. With three kids and three adults shot and killed.
Just like I was supposed to write about the 11 other school shootings this year alone.
But f*ck it. I refuse.
We all know damn well who's to blame. You know it's the NRA. You know it's Republicans who are blocking sane gun reform.
At best, they ignore these murders. At worst, they LOVE them — because talk of gun reform will come up, and that INCREASES gun sales.
Either way, blood is on their hands. And the rest of us are filled with rage.
It's always the same. Every. Single. Time. And it must change.
WTF more is there to say?
@GeorgeTakei Schools do have buckets with kitty litter - in case there is a lockdown. Necessary because the long list of imaginary things the right is afraid of doesn’t include the real threat of school shooters and guns.
If your wife dies due to septic shock from infected fetal remains, but her life could’ve been saved with an abortion, rejoice in the fact that gas is cheap during your drive to the cemetery. Or you could just vote Blue.
Black guy takes a knee before a football game, it ends his career. White guy does it, bunch of “originalists” tear down the wall between church and state.
It shouldn't matter what age you are. No one needs an AR-15 or any other assault weapon designed to massacre people. When we had an assault weapons ban from 1994-2004, mass shootings went down 43%. After it expired, mass shootings tripled. End the filibuster. Ban assault weapons.
In the last year, Greg Abbott and Texas Republicans passed a law eliminating ANY permit requirement for guns — and then slashed $211 MILLION from Texas’s mental health budget.
