Pause

I know there are serious things going on right now, I do.

I don’t want us to get so caught up in our own hells of trump nonsense to let the fact that 11 people were killed in a mass shooting last night slip by as if it didn’t matter.

Every mass shooting matters because those lives mattered and they were killed by indifference and hate for life and guns that are as easy to get and use as a soda at a 7-11.

Take a deep breath. Pause. Remember them and why and how they died.


Thank you.

I feel less safe in this country.

Prayers to all. This needs again, needs to be addressed. Thank goodness the New House of Representative.

It was the first thing I followed when I woke up this morning. It’s horrific. I see the victims of gun violence on an almost weekly basis and it makes it to the news less and less, unless mass casualties occur.

That’s all the more disgusting, that’s not even normalizing, it’s burying it.

It is so sad that this is becoming a regular thing. These innocent people just lost their lives. Families lost loved ones that can never be replaced.
