The Covenant School is a very wealthy and elite learning academy. In light of the school shooting 10 months earlier at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas I find the total lack of any armed security guards at Covenant School to be an obscene example of being pennywise and pound foolish! What are your thoughts on this?

We don't need armed guards or a gun ban we just need to fix society. I doubt this will happen soon because most people are either too stupid or too cruel to want to do things like give child rapists actual jail sentences and stop government corruption. For them it's more comfortable to waste away smoking 3 packs of Newports per day while neglecting their children.

Ronald Reagan is sounding reasonable on gun rights? WTF?

Again, gun rights in the US are quite ridiculous.

They show more concern over Trump getting his ear shot than kids actually getting shot.

Fuck MAGA! Fuck Republicans! Vote Blue!

Since folks are exhausted from hearing about Project 2025 and Agenda 47, here are some reasons to feel hopeful about Harris

(It would be wonderful if folks could reblog this, a lot of people are feeling very discouraged right now and could use the morale boost!)

So you get the protection but kids shouldn't. Guns feel like some god in the US, which they are sacrificing children to.

When does JD Vance visit survivors and the wounded to tell them his 'we have no plan' BS.

Of the 19 hijackers who carried out the Sept 11 attacks:

15 were from Saudi Arabia (a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

2 were from the United Arab Emirates (also a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

1 was from Egypt, 1 from Lebanon.

None of the hijackers were from Iraq.

None of the Sept 11 hijackers were Iraqi.

None of the 9/11 hijackers were from Iraq.

I really didn't expect to see you entertain "he was framed, it's all a setup!!!" conspiracies. Thinking what he did wasn't wrong is one thing, but be serious, are you a fucking idiot?

I have reblogged posts that are reminding people of the concept of "innocent until proven guilty".

That's not a conspiracy theory, that's a part of a functioning justice system.

One of those posts does make mention of police corruption and how police in the past have chosen to frame people for high-profile cases. That's not a conspiracy, that's recorded history.

And it is relevant because Luigi Mangione is claiming that police planted evidence on him:

So maybe calm down and do some research before sending angry messages.

Thoughts and prayers is a hollow joke now. Nothing is going to be done by those words.

FYI, Vance used illegal guns coming through the border as a defense argument for why school shootings occur so frequently in the USA, however statistics show the majority of gun violence here is committed with legally obtained guns.
