@brendasbullshit @cathyrusson Right?? How on earth do they think this is supporting their case?

@griffitovic @WallStreetApes She is a stay at home mom and is also enrolled in school full-time. I’m assuming the father works. Check out her page on Instagram if you’d like to see for yourself.

[Tara Inman @tinman93]

@jamesyjamz @WallStreetApes Agreed.

[Tara Inman @tinman93]

@WallStreetApes A) Watch the whole video. She didn’t pay “NOTHING”, although I wouldn’t care if she had.
B) If you go to her Instagram page, you’ll see that in addition to being a SAHM, she’s also a full time student.
C) This is exactly the type of family I want to see helped!

Asheville, NC airport requiring permission to get in and out is by necessity. There isn’t enough space on the tarmac for planes that want to get in to help. A friend in FL called about his church. They’ve got a plane full of supplies. I was able to track down the number to call. They got permission in minutes. Just had to get on a schedule so the airport can allocate landing clearance and tarmac space. They got in and got out.

New #collegeadmissions blog.
Three key questions to continue asking during your college "search."
1. Why am I doing this?  
2. What is driving me? 
3. Have I lost sight of “my why” in exchange for chasing numbers- or the comparison to others?

Urging people to be positive doesn’t boost their resilience. It denies their reality.

When times are tough, we don’t need good vibes only. We need a hand to keep us steady through all the vibrations.

Strength doesn’t come from forced smiles. It comes from feeling supported.

For those wondering why the #FAFSA delay is a problem, there are numerous reasons. Here are just a couple of- #1: most families depend on FAFSA results to help them budget for college expenses. No FAFSA, no aid awards - no real idea what college will cost them. 1/

My name is Kristin Song.

On January 31, 2018, my son Ethan was shot in the head in his best friend's house. The father/gun owner stored 3 handguns and ammunition in a shoebox. Ethan's friend had been accessing the guns for over 6 months.

At the hospital, the ER doctor slid down the wall, put his head in his hands, and whispered, "Your son is gone." At that instant, all I knew, loved and trusted was imploded into a million tiny pieces.

I begged to say goodbye to my beautiful boy. I wanted to kiss his forehead, tell him how cherished he was, and tuck him in one last time. But the doctor begged me to remember Ethan as he was, you see, he was unrecognizable even to my eyes.

The day before Thanksgiving in 2018, the prosecutor told me she would not charge the negligent gun owner, and if I wanted negligent gun owners to be held accountable, I would have to change the law.

So I did.

6 months later, Connecticut passed Ethan's Law, which requires gun owners to secure their weapons if children can gain access.

Then, I learned that so many states stood silent on this issue, so in 2019, I turned my attention to passing Ethan's Law nationally. I met with over 400 congressional offices, 130 of them Republican.

In 2022, Ethan's Law was passed in the House of Representatives as part of the Safer Communities Act. Sadly, it was not picked up in the final package.

When the Democrats lost the House of Representatives in 2023, I pivoted to passing safe gun storage laws in the States. As a result, Michigan, New Mexico, and Maryland passed safe storage laws.

Currently, I am working with 5 states to pass Ethan's Law.

I am emotionally and mentally exhausted, but I will not stop until there is a cultural shift in this country where it becomes second nature to secure your weapons around unsupervised children.

If you believe in protecting children from gun violence, please follow and repost.

@brantdevans @DarlingtonTiger Thank you for the updates!!!!

[Tara Inman @tinman93]

@stephtinsley803 @theshamingofjay Point well made, Mrs. Tinsley! That’s why everyone loves him, right? I hope you and he are able to enjoy his celebrity status without it being a nuisance! He’s the kind of lawyer every wronged family or person would hope to have representing them. I’m glad the Beaches have him.

[Tara Inman @tinman93]

@JeffreyLHyman @TheEricBland I had no idea they weren’t allowed to take notes! I’d be so overwhelmed. I have only been on one jury, but it was a (much shorter) murder trial and I took notes like crazy. Of course, at this point, even their notes would be overwhelming, I guess. Is that usual in SC?

[Tara Inman @tinman93]

@Clark2College PREACH!!!!

[Tara Inman @tinman93]

@bamawonone @DrOBrienMD HA!!! Clever, funny and not entirely impossible 😂😂😂

[Tara Inman @tinman93]

@eigenfate @LawCrimeNetwork @BrandiNChurch I also wondered if he might have just put the phone down for that time period. What do you think?

[Tara Inman @tinman93]

@thescottbarber HA!! Now can we also take a serious moment to talk about how incredibly amazing that show was? Those mirrored “floating” platforms were so cool and Rihanna was 🔥🔥🔥!! Also, how did they keep the platforms from swaying when they were doing all that dancing on them?? MAGIC!!

[Tara Inman @tinman93]

@sdwright93 @TheEricBland That was the most reprehensible moment of this whole reprehensible mess for me. Deplorable behavior on the part of Harpootlian. If the defense is trying to alienate the jury, I would say job well and truly done in that one moment. Inexplicable & inexcusable behavior otherwise.

[Tara Inman @tinman93]

@magsinman For your whole entire life. Auto-flush toilets and black and white cows.
