Healthcare is basic human rights. Healthcare should not be exclusive to only the rich.

DAMNIT, THE TIME TRAVELER MISSED

[tuttle-did-it]

As Melissa Joan Hart tells it, she’s a Big Damn Hero for ‘saving’ kids during the Nashville School Shooting. 

HER VOTES MADE THIS SHOOTING POSSIBLE. She has been an outspoken Republikkkan in Hollywood for a long time.

I noticed her instagram post talking about how she 'saved' these children during the shooting does not allow comments. Probably because many of us would remind her that she's the one who voted these monsters who have allowed this in office in the first place.

In the 10 years since the Sandy Hook shooting, the NRA spent more than $100 million to help elect republicans.

She votes for the people who ban books, not assault rifles.

She votes for people who offer prayers after a shooting, whilst lobbyists line their pockets.

She votes for people who vote against a bill to expand school-based mental health services.

She votes for people who are trying to make it illegal to talk about the violence people of colour and queers have historically, and still experience to this day.

She votes for people who are trying to destroy the rights of women and people with ovaries, especially with regards to the Right to Choose.

If she cared for the well-being and safety of the children that she supposedly escorted to safety, she wouldn't have voted for republicans who voted against a bill improving the mental health for children in schools.

If she actually had a shred of care for victims of gun violence, there's no way she could live with herself for putting these politicians in power who not only allow shootings, but allow these shootings to flourish.

*IF* she did actually do anything to save those kids, her votes made it possible for them to be shot at in the first place.

*IF* she did actually do anything to save those kids, her votes made it possible to criminalise them- statistically, at least a few of them will be Queer, and this is one of the worst States for LGTBQIA+ rights.

*IF* she did actually do anything to save those kids, her votes were the reason Roe V Wade was overturned and the criminalisation of abortion across the entire country. Statistically, at least a few of those kids will, at some point in their lives, need reproductive services, and, thanks to her votes, no longer have access to safe and legal care.

Her votes condemn those children just as much as any shooter does.

I don't know if she was really there and did everything she said she did. I don't know if she exaggerated, or even made the whole thing up.

But I do know that every person who votes Republican is partially responsible for every single one of the shootings across the country because lobbyists and the NRA line the pockets of that entire corrupt, fascist party.

I do know that every single person who votes Republican is partially responsible for the loss of rights for Queer people and women (and people with ovaries who identify in a different way) across the country.

Melissa Joan Hart, your tears mean nothing.  Your ‘thoughts and prayers’ mean nothing. 

YOU put these people in office, Melissa. 

'Oh, look, she's a kind republican. A caring one. A Progressive One who is different from the rest of them. A good one. She advocates both for gun rights and safety- she's sensible! She does more than thoughts and prayers. How great is she. So special.'

No. I don't care how many 'gun safety' rallies you go to. Republicans are all in bed with the NRA. YOU VOTE REPUBLICAN, EVERY SINGLE SHOOTING IS ON YOUR SHOULDERS.

Oh and by the way, I happen to notice that two weeks ago, she's in the news complaining that her Clarissa Explains it All reboot has stalled.

A week ago, she's in the news because she was at a 90s tv convention.

Now, she's in the news with a heroic story about 'saving children from a shooting.'

And now thanks to her Big Damn Hero moment (which I wonder if it actually happened) maybe- just maybe- the powers that be will realise that she's trending on social media as a 'hero' and magically, that stalled nostalgia reboot will get through the pipeline after all. 

And even if that nostalgic little sitcom doesn’t get greenlit, she’s still won- lucky her, this heroic story will come up any time there's a news article about her because she's a Big Damn Hero, and just had to tell you about it. You Needed To Know She’s a Hero.

You didn’t save those children, Melissa, you damned them by putting Republicans in power. Even if you��did do something to help those few children, through your votes, you’ve done far worse to so many more people in the end, including those few children.

EVERY VOTE FOR A REPUBLICAN IS A VOTE TO ALLOW SHOOTINGS TO CONTINUE.

What a sick and stupid country

[lochchrismonster]

Just remember the government has done more for a dead CEO then protecting children the 971 times there have been school shootings this year with 112 of them ending with injuries and fatalities.

[rotzaprachim]

feels worth mentioning as a long time opponent of the 21st century hawkish nature of Israeli politics that… we’ve seen a lot of comparisons between the U.S. and Israel when it comes to politics, and many are worth pondering, but the U.S. has simply never ever had anything like the second intifada to push the civilian populace into hard right hawkish politics. (Yes there was 9/11 and I recognize that was awful. I’m talking about a years long protracted campaign from terror groups kilometers away from where middle class Americans raise their children. There’s simply no comparison.) the U.S. got here on their own with the vague image of a violent criminal invader, not an actual reality of hundreds of civilian deaths from targeted bombings on buses and in pizza shops and public arenas. This is not to let either the government of the state of Israel NOR the U.S. off the hook but it IS to say that I don’t think there’s a single thing inherently more peaceful about Americans than Israelis (or any other country that’s had a sharp right wing political swing) and I cannot imagine the kind of fascist hellhole the U.S. would be with even a quarter of the targeted political violence experienced in IL

The feminine urge to take my AR and just shoot down those stupid drones. If you dont have an answer as to where they're from or what they are, TAKE THEM DOWN!

Republicans are, predictably, making up conspiracy theories and spreading lies to try to benefit from the tragedy. They are assigning blame, not based on any facts, but entirely based on who they want to blame.

However, the facts show that the shooter was not any of the Republicans' typical scapegoats.

He was one of their own, using an AR-15 style assault rifle — the exact type of killing machine Republicans adore and can't seem to live without.

If you want to assign blame, blame the Republican gun-loving shooter.

I don't mean to sound unhinged or desperate, but I need the upper 1% to live in the fear that American children have been put through at school for the past five years.
