This is fucking INFURIATING. We can absolutely afford another war but no universal healthcare, student debt cancellation, infrastructure or a universal basic income. There’s always money to destroy lives and never any to build them.
I remember reading The Diary of Anne Frank and Hiroshima in school. They made me feel uncomfortable because that’s a normal human response to seeing people suffer. The idea that white children are entitled to be shielded from facts in order to avoid “discomfort” is laughable.
Americans vehemently disagree with the NRA. As a parent whose daughter is dead because of an AR 15, fuck you for fueling this. 20 years ago when Jaime was born, AR 15's were less than 2% of all guns sold. Today they are 25% & the leading cause for mass gun violence in America.
The state of Tennessee does not require a permit to carry a firearm. Doesn’t matter if it’s a rifle, a shotgun, or a handgun.
Doesn’t matter whether you carry openly or concealed.
They don’t care.
But if you’re a mom, in a courtroom, protesting gun violence, and you’re holding a sign them good ol’ boys just don’t like… guess what — you’re going to jail.
This is NOT what Democracy looks like. So we fight.
And moms WILL win.
Because when it comes to keeping our kids safe, there is no other option.
