It's easy to feel helpless in the face of #MassShootings, and now the death of #TyreNichols.
But there are things we can do!

Join #DemCast, and help spread strategic messaging on social media. I've been a volunteer with them since 2019.
@p3R1n01D DemCast does great work. I believe the GOP NEEDS to have pressure put on them. I live in a blue state but a red county. My local reps need a phone call, I think! We must fight against becoming inured to this era of mass shootings.

Thanks, glad to hear it! I've burnt the midnight oil with many of them, including the Executive Director. Really dedicated folks!
I hear you, CO is like that! There's a red pocket very close to me, and the rep has an AR-15 on his wall. 🙄
You nailed it, fight against becoming inured! We can't let them normalize crazy people with weapons of war killing children.
Glad to meet you, and to have you in the good fight! 👊 😊 🐿️
@p3R1n01D When Columbine happened, a nation was grief-stricken and stunned. Now, it’s just another day in America. It’s heartbreaking. How did we get here? I have no problem with the 2A. I have a huge problem with citizens owning weapons of war whose only purpose is to murder a lot of human beings at one time. The NRA condones and dare I say, embraces all the barbarism attached. I’m old enough to remember when the NRA supported common-sense gun legislation. But, ‘nuff said. We fight on!

That just became one of my new favorite memes! Thanks!

You expressed my thinking to a T!
I'm in my mid-50s, so I know what you mean. They actually emphasized the need for hunter safety classes, etc. There's some dark, dark money involved there.
And they've been howling about the "Gun Grab" since I was a kid! 😂 I'm a gun owner myself, reasonable stuff, and have always supported strong gun laws. I also don't believe assault riffles belong in the hands of civilians.
And yes, as you said, we fight on! 💪 ❤️
