There was a shooting in a mall in Texas. In Texas, where there is open carry. Surely shoppers had guns. Where were the mythical good guys with guns?
They wear a gun to look macho. They won’t get in harms way though, because they’re cowards. I wonder how many shoppers fleeing from the gunman were actually carrying.

NEW: Milo Yiannopoulos used Marj Taylor Greene’s campaign credit card to buy Kanye West campaign web domain, then transferred it to Ye the same day for $3,000 above cost, per receipts & a person w knowledge.
Legal experts told me the transactions raise a number of questions—whether Milo stole the campaign’s card and converted Greene campaign funds to his personal use while making an impermissible and unreported in-kind donation—which they said could be criminal

We need to provide free breakfast, lunch, and dinner to all students regardless of the income of their parents. Schools should not be charging for food for anybody. Schools are funded by taxes, it is criminal that we charge children to eat.

If you want to know why the protection of reproductive rights is so important and why abortion bans are anti-life, see this story. Elect people who will protect abortion rights.
Republicans aren’t. And won’t.

@ivory How come once I edit a post to add alt text, the alt text doesn’t stick? Why isn’t there a way to do that from the beginning, rather than as an edit? Or am I doing it wrong?

@flexghost @1finekitty Her constituents voted for an 85-year-old candidate in 2018, for an office with a 6-year term.
I can understand supporting someone of that age for an office with a 2-year term, but not for 6.
Grassley will be 95 when his term ends.
