A common characteristic of all advanced mammalian species that survive & thrive is the fierce behavior of the adult female when she senses a threat to her cubs. Women not rising up now in massive numbers to protect our children would be a sign that we have given up on everything.

When I ran for president part of my platform was to create a Department of Children and Youth. I’m not a candidate anymore but the plan is even more urgently needed. Here it is…marianne2020.com/issues/plan…

On a national average, we have one mental health counselor for every 1,500 children. We have elementary schools with children on suicide watch! We have trauma rooms in schools all over the country. That is where our resources should be going.
Mental health services in Texas.
“Texas ranks 50th of 51 in overall access to mental health care, according to 2021 State of Mental Health in America report. Currently, only 1 in 7 Texas children with major depression receive consistent treatment — almost half national average.”

Notice how it’s mainly women and children who die in school shootings and then the men get together to do nothing about it.

Mainstream media is spending all its time giving us a blow by blow of exactly what happened in Uvalde. It’s all just cover. What they should be doing is giving us a blow by blow of what is not happening in DC and why.

Governor Greg Abbott of Texas was asked whether an 18 year old should be able to buy an assault weapon. He said that that has been the case for 60 years and he doesn’t see what’s happened that things should be any different now.

No, we need to do a lot more now than to conference about the issues. We know what they are. We need to take a next step.

A large group of men, including Ted Cruz, are surrounding the police chief in Uvalde as he explains the shooting that occurred there.
What they can’t explain is how to prevent another one. For that we’d need a large group of women.

So he’s not even going to try. Not even going to pass a background check bill and make the GOP have to filibuster it in front of everyone.
“Not reading the room” doesn’t even begin to cover it. These people aren’t reading the country.
🚨SCHUMER signals NO gun bill imminent
Americans can make a choice, Schumer says. “Americans can cast their vote in November” based on how people stand on guns.
SCHUMER says Republicans can work with Democrats now to craft a bill. He’s skeptical. “Unlikely, burnt in the past”

The gun lobby & its bought off minions in Congress are counting on us to get exhausted and shut up about all this in a few days. Do the opposite. Do not shut up

Of course they did.
In interviews with @mkraju, Florida GOP Sens. Marco Rubio & Rick Scott defended the need for AR-15s and semi-automatic weapons, and dismissed calls for expanded background checks
