Congressman who represents the Nashville district involved in deadly school shooting posted a gun-toting family photo for Christmas in 2021

Growing up in the 1970s and 80s, we had a set of “Jarts” and used to enjoy playing them on our lawn. But they were definitely dangerous and I’m not surprised so many people were injured and a few killed (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawn_dar )

As @Strandjunker notes, it only took *one* child’s death to galvanize Congress to act and ban metal lawn darts in 1988.

Yet today 3 children died, and the cowards in Congress refuse to act.

Each deserved life. How many more deaths will it take? #GunReformNOW

Newly elected Mayor Karen Bass negotiated an agreement that provides workers with a $1,000 raise, sets the dist.'s min. wage at $22.82 & creates a $3M educational & professional development fund for the union members. Free HC will be provided to any employee working at least 4 hours/day. Both sides credited Bass. The full union will likely vote for the agreement: VICTORY FOR WORKERS😃 *If Caruso was mayor -he'd never..: LA schools, union leaders reach deal on new contract: eastbaytimes.com/2023/03/24/la

@TheRealBozoTClown @Lowie the elementary school across the street ran an “active drag queen” drill for when a drag queen breaches the perimeter to use the on-site, single-person genderless bathroom. Oh wait, that didn’t happen. It was an active-shooter drill. For grade schoolers. The true source of childhood trauma and constant danger in our schools.

I'm old enough to remember going to the mall or a store and worrying more about a pickpocket than a guy with an AR-15.

I'm old enough to remember going to the doctor and only worrying about my health, not the financial damage an illness would inflict.

I'm old enough to remember being in control of my own uterus.

And I"m not that old.

Things we depend on can unravel fast. If we manage to fight our way out of the brinksmanship we're at now, we should never forget how we allowed it to happen.

Every hour or so, stop what you're doing for a moment. Take a deep breath and check in with your body. Is your jaw clenched? Shoulders tight? Scan your body and relax where there is tension.

Then, take a look around. Pick out a few things you can see, hear, feel, and smell. Anchor yourself in the present moment. Do this several times a day to pull your mind back from anxiety or to just take a mental break from what you're doing.

Then carry on. 😉
