I’ve seen two kids post that the Brown University shooting is the second school shooting they’ve survived.
This should enrage and radicalize everyone.
Kids shouldn’t have to survive one shooting, let alone two.
No more thoughts and prayers.

Trump is weakened. MAGA is at its lowest point of popularity. They’ve seen defeat after defeat electorally. And some of the staunchest supporters are fleeing the ship. Not only is the regime beatable, but we’re beating it.
