Uvalde…at 11:33 a.m. a year ago, 21 human beings were murdered — Gov. Greg Abbott said, “It could’ve been worse.”
I won’t belabor the point that ALL the government agencies involved in this massacre, ABSOLUTELY FAILED THESE CHILDREN AND THEIR TEACHERS. I don’t need to, the photo above shows they did.
Living in Charleston, SC when the Emanuel 9 were murdered by Dylan Roof on June 17, 2015 — my brain, my heart and my soul SHOOK when Uvalde happened. I cried my ass off thinking, “What the HAYELL is going on in this F*CKIN’ country??!!”
I’m so damned proud of these families saying to legislators in both Texas and Washington — “Dammit!! DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE AR-15's!!” Falling on deaf ears to date, they keep fighting. We need to fight with them, Fam— we really do.
