The police chief of Uvalde has finally admitted that the police made the "wrong decision" failing to storm the classroom where the children were murdered. He said "If I thought it would help, I would apologize."
Mr. McCraw, it will help. An entire nation needs you to apologize.

Democrats keep saying people should vote for them in November and then they’ll get more done. The opposite is true. At least *try* to get more done now and *then* the people will vote for you in November

They don’t have the numbers to be able to do everything they want, but they could still fight. Make the GOP Senators have to filibuster & show the country who they are. if they want to win in November, Democrats need to show the people they’re actually in there fighting for them

There is something so wrong about the fact that the Senate took a recess. They shouldn’t even leave the building until they’ve taken action.

We need to make so much noise & become such an inconvenience that every US lawmaker feels the pressure. 23 years since Columbine & they’ve still done absolutely nothing! This time don’t let them get away with it! Make calls, arrange office sit-ins, whatever’s in your heart to do.

Yep.
We won’t get gun control until we break the political system that has kept us stuck here for so long. Reality is proof that we’re not being radical enough.

If you're going to spend your day trolling every mom who has had *enough*, you're going to have some work on your hands.

Senator Ted Cruz of Texas has said it’s “only the media” that wants to “politicize this issue.”
It makes sense he says that given the $442,000 he has received from the gun lobby over the course of his career.

No, we do not know "voting isn't a thing anymore." If ever there was a Koch-inspired narrative it's that one.

Corporate rule is tyranny, and if we let it stand we will be the first generation of Americans - unlike the abolitionists, unlike the women suffragettes, and unlike the civil rights movement - who ultimately didn't have what it takes to push it back.
We must.

We don't have healthcare because of health insurance companies, can't afford medicine because of price gauging by Big Pharma, planet is desecrated because of Big Oil, guns flood our streets because of the NRA and we fight criminal wars because of the military industrial complex

Try to overthrow them and they will kill you. Tolerate them and you’ve wasted your lifetime in spineless acquiescence to tyranny. We need to stop with the absurd narrative that there’s nothing else we can do. It shows dishonor to our ancestors who had the courage to do it and did

If you think the system doesn’t have a plan to suppress your fantasy of the “same way,” you don’t know how the system operates.
