Let's make a deal. Our devout and thoughtful will pray and think a little more, so our 100 Senators can focus their attention on making OUR thoughts and prayers come true--that they come back from vacation to protect us from being murdered as we try to celebrate our "freedom."1/7
I remeber when I first saw this @TheOnion article in 2014. Despite the fact it has been able to be republished on what feels like a daily basis, politicians are still in office who are funded by the NRA. 2/7

One of the amazing things you learn when you run for office, is the absurd amount it costs to get your name out. Not only does it allow you to advertise to more people, but many voters (and other donors) view your ability to bring in money as a qualifier for holding office. 3/7

Yes, I am talking about the repeat trauma in Chicago yesterday, on a day that was supposed to celebrate the joy of living in this great nation. 1/N

But what about the unseen wounds? The wounds in babes too small to express their grief in words? The wounded hearts of all the people left destroyed and heartbroken with the TRAGIC. UNNESCESSARY loss of their loved ones?

They usually fit a certain profile, don’t they? Deranged, hateful white men. Let’s call them what they are, #DomesticTerrorists, and prosecute them accordingly. Call your senator today and everyday until they do something about it!

Here’s an interesting article on race and mass shootings. The majority of such incidents ARE committed by white men. But the issue is more complex that I had given serious thought to. I think this article is worth a read. google.com/amp/s/www.wash…
I always find @DaveChappelle insightful and wise, especially when it comes to race. I recommend listening to his comments on mass shootings.
Sept. 8th #PortlandProtests kick off with short rally, with talks about how transit police are police and stops, tickets and arrests are disproportionately black folks.
Marching under Burnside bridge to transit police office. #PortlandProtest
Cops blocking max and street, march then turns

The event started out as a comment about how we love Florida @MomsDemand fundraising T-shirts using our own California @Naptivist’s slogan #dontthankmejoinme, and I joked we could have a craftivist party to add our call to action onto the shirts...
