The motive for the shooting of elementary school students? Motive? Because he fucking COULD. And WE fucking let him. Stop electing GOP gun-fetish ammosexuals to office. Just stop. Pro-life party my ass.

These people need help. Crippling amount of insecurities cause some to believe this makes them strong. In reality you’re looking at weak, cowards. Fuckkk your guns, fuckkk your feelings. https://petapixel.com/2022/05/24/ameriguns-photo-series-reveals-the-unique-culture-of-guns-in-the-usa/

reminder:

ted cruz [R-TX] fried bacon on an assault rifle, and made a video recording of it, just for shits and giggles.

wonder how much the NRA paid him to do THAT.

Received this earlier tonight...

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

NOT ONE MORE.

UNITED AGAINST GUN VIOLENCE.

Two Protest Dates:

* Friday, May 27 at 5pm local

(June 4 is also "National Gun Violence Awareness Day" this year.)

Another nightmare day in the country that never does anything to prevent tragedy.

Need to work on editing this book for my friend, but my God do I just want to go sit on my couch and not think about how fucked everything is for a while.

Keep your thoughts and prayers...we need change!

"Sgt. Erick Estrada of the Texas Dept of Public Safety tells Anderson Cooper the shooter crashed his car near the school, got out with a gun and wearing body armor, was engaged by law enforcement, but made his way into the school anyway and went classroom to classroom shooting."

so much for the 'good guys with guns' stopping the 'bad guys with guns.'

it's so much bullshit and we must STOP letting them say it.

including – especially – ted fucking cruz.

We've had 212 mass shootings in the last 144 days (via @public_citizen). We literally have more mass shooting THAN WE HAVE DAYS in this country.

@fatinah I don't want my child to go to school with a weapon in each classroom. The problem isn't that teachers aren't armed. The problem is that this is something that has to be considered. Maybe we should be more picky about who we give weapons to, not say "well just shoot back"

Additionally, this is not what teachers signed up for. I am 100% certain when they were getting their degree, they weren't wondering when they got to start weapons training.

Fix the problem, don't make more.

FFS!!! ON THE NEWS via MSNBC reporting that TRUMP, ABBOTT and CRUZ to attend some damn NRA Convention in TEXAS in a few days after today's MURDERS of children in TX!

‘How do you even sleep at night?’ Texas Sen. Ted Cruz faces backlash after Uvalde shooting

In regards to school shootings, the only mental illness evident is on the part of legislators whose lust for money has corrupted their conscience.

It's become a thing now for Republican candidates to take videos of themselves shooting at gun ranges, presumably to get that man-of-the-people vibe.

But you look in their eyes as they're squeezing off shot, and you suddenly realize: this is the only time in their lives that they've been really happy.

Standing there with the power of life and death in their hand, imagining lighting up all the people they rant about on Fox: this is the pure distillate of their fear and hate and aggression.
