So I’ve been ruminating on this thread for the past few days, make sure I get the words right.

Madonna’s new video for her song #GodControl was fucked up, it was horrible.
She should have sent out a message warning what her new video contained, ESPECIALLY to the Pulse Victims, ESPECIALLY as it was released Just After the Anniversary on June 12th.
I don’t know where the money from the song and video is going, but it’s not going to the victims and survivors; I have spoken to many on this topic in the past days, and all of us are in agreement.
This is NOT the correct way to talk about gun violence, unlike how many fans have been exclaiming — people who have been working in the GVP community know how to talk about gun violence, not most celebrities. #GodControl
If you want to support the gun violence prevention movement, donate to the places who need it, in this case the One Pulse Foundation and listen to the actual stories from actual survivors of gun violence. #GodControl
Also if you tweet pictures or videos from the video of #GodControl, please tag it as Triggering for fucks sake

(1/4) He was white and he used an AR-15. The @NRA is about to say this man had mental health issues, so that the rest of us will get scared of anyone with poor mental health and buy a gun in preemptive defense so that gun sales increase. Shootings don’t just happen in schools,
(2/4) they happen everywhere in America, and now one has happened in Waffle House. You can donate all the shooting shelters to schools that you want, but at the end of the day, we can’t build our world out of Kevlar - someone is making Mad Money off that.
(3/4) The local police say a man at the scene wrestled his gun away - looks like you don’t need to arm a teacher (or a resource officer) to stop a shooting. There goes the sales pitch for @SmithWessonCorp 🤷‍♀️

They had working metal detectors in their school. When will people realize that this isn’t a School Only Issue-that it’s not about Protecting the Schools it’s about Protecting Everyone. This happens at Malls, Churches, On front Porches - THE COMMON THREAD IS GUNS AND GUN CULTURE
It’s time to value people’s lives. It’s been time to remember empathy in times of tragedy and kick Apathy to the curb.

(1/4)Yesterday, the members of @AMarch4OurLives got to meet up with some of the most wonderful and most strong spoken students of Chicago. "Florida's safest city" and one of the cities in America most affected by gun violence came together to share stories, ideologies, and pizza.
(2/4) Those who face gun violence on a level that we have only just glimpsed from our gated communities have never had their voices heard in their entire lives the way that we have in these few weeks alone. Since we all share in feeling this pain and know all too well how it
(3/4) feels to have to grow up at the snap of a finger, we were able to cover a lot of ground in communicating our experiences. People of color in inner-cities and everywhere have been dealing with this for a despicably long time, and the media cycles just don't cover the

There's been another shooting at Dalton High, in Dalton, Georgia - LISTEN TO US FOR GOD'S SAKE, DO THE STUDENTS OF AMERICA REALLY MATTER THIS LITTLE TO YOU ??? THE TIME TO TALK ABOUT GUN REFORM HAS PASSED THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW
HOW MANY F***ING TIMES DO WE HAVE TO TURN ON THE NEWS AND BE SO FUELED WITH RAGE THAT OUR BODIES ALMOST PHYSICALLY SNAP
Don't just send them your Thoughts and Prayers - DO SOMETHING TO HELP THEM. ITS BEEN 2 WEEKS. HOW CAN WE AS A SPECIES LIVE LIKE THIS ??????
