Letting an 18 year old boy buy an assault weapon is insane and the country that allows it to happen isn't free.
It's a country tyrannized by gun manufacturers and far right extremists who use the 2nd Amendment to shield their hatred of those who do not see the world as they do.

Well said.

Today in Highland Park, now this in Philly. This is what has happened to this country. On this July 4 there is so much sadness.
May it be a sadness we process and grow from. May we become the people we need to be to do the things we need to do to save this country from ourselves

Oh my God America.

They colour in their red white and blue while their parents wait to find out if there’s a gunman on the loose outside.

Official bullshit.
Then we wonder why a younger generation grows up distrusting both Israel AND the US State Department.

I don’t think we can leave the ballot box out of a formula for change; we need an inside and outside approach. If we leave out the ballot box than the extreme right wingers will lock up other areas of protest & resistance beyond anything we can imagine.

Though our civilization is in fundamental decline at this point, the governing status quo will not disrupt itself.
It would rather watch democracy fall than consider the possibility that its way has been the problem all along & that they are incapable of providing a solution.
