this is tears inducing. maybe it's hitting a little close to home for me today (my mother was in the middle of an active shooter situation) but God. I feel so powerless to stop school shootings.
Tennessee held a special session to deal with guns and literally nothing happened other than gestapo kicking parents silently protesting with signs out of the gallery
the GOP is inflicting trauma on so many levels across society right now they're a fucking terrorist organization
We have plenty of ways to measure PTSD and trauma. Your countries gun lobby’s would just prefer governments didn’t. I’m sorry it’s such a dangerous place to exist 😓
We need to show up to the ballot boxes in droves next year. Vote all of them out. Gen Z is infuriated about guns and abortion. We all need to go vote, no excuses!
tbf, I think that voting is a minor step. It is necessary to engage with people who disagree with us, build coalitions, and build a movement that will pressure elected leaders outside of election years or headline-grabbing event.
I love voting, I love voter engagement, I love gotv. It's not enough
And more than just voting, we need to start GETTING INVOLVED and fielding our own candidates, instead of relying on Gen X and Boomers and late Silents.
More left-leaning Millennial and even Gen Z candidates, at EVERY level, from city council to Capitol Hill. The GOP is doing it, we need to, too.
We need large scale organized protests. Not a few dozen people blocking a road that might make the local news. Get people all over the nation to start protesting.
It's only made their insanity obvious. They have been like this for over 50 years. They just kept the quiet part quit. Tea party made bigots be load, and Trump rode in on that.
An some democrats STILL think conservative do things in good faith. It's nuts.

I hate the drills, but it's better to be prepared than nothing.

The gun fetishists and lobbyists won. No amount of blood on their hands or their enablers will change the situation.
It’s a fucking travesty.
But nothing is powerful enough to convince Repubs to give up their vote-winning pro-gun stance. They do not care if children die.
This nation has lost its mind
"Kinda wish I had someone else here though"
What does this mean?
I want money out of politics too, but I will be damned if I am going to stop organizing
