My little boy is 3. And his school has had to teach him and his classmates this “Magnet Game.” In case of an active shooter. When I first got this email, I cried. This is the world we live in. And we owe to them to make it better. Now. #MSDSStrong #ParklandStrong #NeverForget 
Thank you to the Parkland kids and parents for your courage. And to the Sandy Hook activists for your tenacity. And to my son’s amazing teachers. And to all the teachers and school leaders out there everywhere that would take a bullet for my kid and so many others.
I’ve seen heroes. And you are among the best and truest of them all. And you deserve better. Until we achieve that, thank you for holding the line. In ways we can only imagine. You are not forgotten. #MSDSStrong #ParklandStrong #NeverForget
Today may be a day to celebrate love, but #VDay will forever be stained with the blood of 17 kids shot to death at #StonemanDouglas one year ago today.

Watch for words like "school safety" and "God-given right" and "patriotic." The @NRA has spent lifetimes of money creating this narrative.

On Parkland & Donald Trump:
Earlier I listened to Nik Cruz’s attorney and it hit me like a ton of bricks. Hear me out.
Cruz was radicalized by alt-right, MAGA, white supremacists. He went on to carry out a heinous act of domestic terrorism.
But this didn’t happen overnight. 1/

This is a child who was adopted. His father died six years ago, and Nik was orphaned again when his mother died in November. He was on his own. No family to speak of.

By all accounts, he was the weird kid. The creepy kid. The awkward kid. The different kid.
Teachers say he was quiet in class, unremarkable. Acted out previously.
Classmates say he was anti-social, awkward with girls. Seemed sad, aloof. Didn’t fit in.
