Couldn’t have said it better myself. Thank you for this.

It might be a music deja vu thing, but I swear I’ve heard the Butterflies song before. Like she sung it live on a radio show or something.

Even if that’s true, so what?

It’s aimed at the minority of Americans who buy a ton of guns (something like 3% of Americans own eight or more guns), and include a lot of right-wing extremist folks. If they can scare up those people into running out and buying tons more guns and ammo, it’s good business for them (and the NRA gets donations from gun…

If fewer and fewer people own guns, they need to amp up the crazy to sell more of these durable goods.

All we’re trying to do is make and sell mass murder weapons, not have people actually use them. That’s what the media wants.

Ah, CPAC - the weekend that taxes Grindr to its limits.

I’m so confused by the NRA’s stance. Wouldn’t it behoove them to push for responsible gun ownership? To admit that no one needs to own a weapon of war? I read an article on what the bullet wounds from an AR15 look like compared to a similar caliber weapon that fires with less velocity. Those aren’t for protection.…

Oh sure, the media loves mass shootings, but the NRA can’t stand it? Give me a break. Every time one of these tragedies happens, their fundraising goes into overdrive, and the gun manufacturers they actually represent see a windfall in sales.

Later she added, “we call B.S.,” a line she appropriated from Douglas student and survivor, Emma Gonzalez.

Kansas City, Missourian here. At the office when we heard about his indictment we celebrated with drinks, and passed around an iphone with his glorious mugshot.

I wonder if we could get a statistician to get sort of an average duration between a politician saying (s)he’s “Family Values” and the time (s)he is caught in some gay and/or underage extramarital thing...

So many people I’m sure are quaking with fear that all their past misdeeds are going to come out. I’m heeeeeeere for it! *makes tea and popcorn and waits patiently*

As a Missourian I can’t say how elated I am when we hit national news, of any sort. As a PROGRESSIVE Missourian, being able to share this shitstain’s mugshot is the pinnacle of my fucking month.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. And let’s not forget my distinguished governor’s penchant for trying to avoid MO’s sunshine law by using an app that doesn’t allow screenshots and automatically deletes messages. And his unwillingness to share with the public how much his inauguration cost. And the delightful way he…

They say that “taking peoples’ guns away” will cause some kind of armed uprising and therefore it is implied that the continued massacre of children is a necessary cost of our society’s continued unity. But this raises a question: is a society whose continued existence demands the routine massacre of children ever…

Energy feels different this time around. And, yes, I’m well aware of how and why it can turn to shit. Don’t care.
