QOTD -- Facts Of Life

 

“It’s a fact of life some people are gay. But you know what’s not a fact of life? That our children need to be shot dead in schools. That’s not a fact of life.  Folks are banning books, but they’re okay with weapons of war being in our schools.”  -- future Vice President Tim Walz, speaking Saturday night at the Human Rights Campaign's annual dinner in Washington, DC.  He was addressing comments by MAGAt bearded lizard J.D. "Junior Demagogue" Vance that school shootings like the recent one in gun- happy Georgia were "a fact of life."  The perpetually rake- stepping Vance is emblematic of his NRA- coin operated cult's/party's valuing of guns over the lives of our children, or over anything else for that matter.  That's a real fact of life.

🤯😢 School shootings are horrific! Mass shootings are horrific! All shootings are horrific! Allow me to ruin your day by reminding you that we are ahead of the curve on mass shootings (4 or more people killed or injured not including shooter) for this year! There have been 3 in this country just since the GA school shooting! And, of course, several times a day people are injured or killed in shootings that are not mass! Sometimes I think right-wing politicians appreciate all the media attention on school shootings because it masks the actual numbers happening all the time! The "Gun Violence Archive" (gunviolencearchive.org) can take you on a difficult journey if you feel you are ready! 🤬
