Thirteen years separate Sandy Hook and Brown University. In 13 years countless people have died in schools and malls and concerts. In churches and on street corners. From homicide and firearm suicide and domestic violence and hate and racism and unintentional shootings and police shootings.

The area around Brown University -- which is also where I grew up and now live -- is quaint and picturesque. A postcard version of a New England college town.
But I never thought "this can't happen here." Because there is nowhere in the U.S. where this can't happen.

We don't have to live like this.

As details continue to come in on the shooting at Brown University tonight, this much is clear: two innocent people were killed, and countless others will live with this trauma for life.
We cannot accept this as normal, doing nothing is not an option.

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.
It’s time to address the guns.

With this latest mass shooting at Brown University, this might be a good time to mention that Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban reduced mass shooting deaths by 43% - but after George W Bush & Republicans let it expire, mass shooting deaths spiked by 239%.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia wasn't supposed to be released.
He was released.
Indiana was supposed to gerrymander.
It didn't.
Maybe ordinary people fighting, and not waiting for some savior, is the way to go? As that community organizer said, "WE are the ones we've been waiting for."
