My grandson is three. My granddaughters are infants. I am terrified of the country in which they were born.

I have a granddaughter who is in kindergarten. I can't stop thinking about those families who lost children to this madness. I just don't know what I'd do if that happened to my granddaughter. They are so innocent and full of life and giggles and happiness. She loves school and loves her teacher.

Fuck every last Republican and the NRA with their Russian money.

from jack wagons such as Cruz, Abbott, and all the other puss piles who talked about
how heartbroken they were about the shootings all the time taking millions from the
NRA* but when those little kids started signing and marching I just broke down thinking
about those 19 children and those 2 teachers ripped up by a military weapon 2 days
before the summer break. My heart was heavy.
