Don't know if that has any relevance. And the GOP response, as usual, is more guns!!!

That has to count for something doesn't it. Typically they draw much more attention when they go missing or are murdered.

know the racial makeup of the Uvalde police force? Can't find out. Just a theory I'm working on since this massacre was so deep in trump cult territory...

it's not a stretch. They have helped create laws that have allowed domestic terrorists to be armed to the teeth.

some of them were unidentifiable. They had to be identified through DNA.

It's hard to come up with adequate words at a time like this.

Maybe call your "r" reps and senators, and do a roll call of their names.

I wonder if the Torres boy and girl are related. I know that it is a common Hispanic name, but in the same community and school, they might be.

I worry for the kids who survived, especially the ones who were in those two classrooms, but also the ones in other rooms. The nightmares and trauma they will need to cope with at every stage of their lives.

outrage and sanctions on Russia are making a difference (hopefully). We need widespread outrage and sanctions on gun sales for these children and others.

When a gunman slaughtered 6 year olds in Newtown, white six year olds, we did nothing.

IT's the guns. Not mental health, it's the guns.

A small minority loves their guns, their stand in penises, more than they love children. But it's not their children, so they do. not. care.

As long as they (R) are being fed by putin, kochs, mercers, murdochs, thiels, etc. and those moneybags want to kill democracy however they can, then don't expect the (r)s to do anything positive.

Add the CNP, NRA, fox, hundreds of front groups for RW/libertarian money to the list of killers.

And now, empty beds and pain and grief.

No words. I am religious and I believe they are whole again. I cannot imagine the parents’ anguish. No one should ever have to endure this.
