A 16 year old was shot for ringing the wrong doorbell.
A 20 year old was shot and killed for driving down the wrong driveway.
An 18 year old is in critical condition for trying to get into the wrong car.
And a 6 year old and her dad were shot because her basketball rolled onto the wrong lawn.
In a nation armed to the teeth & perpetually primed for war, these tragedies are only going to happen more often, not less.
What the hell are we doing?
There’s a soul sickness in our state when Tennessee Republican legislators are more concerned with protecting gun manufacturers from lawsuits, than children from being killed by mass shootings.
We said, protect children not guns— they choose the guns.
This is morally insane.
Students at Staley High School in Kansas City, Missouri, walked out of class on Tuesday to march for Ralph Yarl, their Black classmate who was shot twice on Thursday by an 84-year-old white man after going to the wrong address to pick up his brothers.

Good morning y’all.
Ralph Yarl. A 16 year old Black baby boy was shot because he went to the wrong door (as he attempted to pick up his siblings). He was shot in the head and again as he bled out on the ground.
His shooter- a white man- is free.
So many things I can say but for now- just extreme sadness. Gratitude that he’s still alive. Also- I’m tired of this shit.
Black boys deserve to grow up.
Black men deserve to grow old.💔💔
The doors were locked.
The teachers were armed.
TN expanded firearm access.
The police arrived in minutes.
Covenant school had everything that MAGA GOP assured us prevents & stops mass shootings. And 3 babies & 3 adults were murdered in seconds.😳
IT’S—THE—GUNS

65 years ago today, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus, defying injustice, catalyzing the Civil Rights Movement, and changing America.
Let us honor her by continuing the march toward justice, dignity, and equality for all. #RosaParksDay
