Mass shooting news in America 🇺🇸

I check my iPhone to see what the numerous alerts are about, & this pops up. 😕

Mass shootings are a daily occurrence now that they rarely make headlines in 🇺🇸.

This one, however, is being highlighted by the administration on & other social networks.

@rbreich But you do accept it. Week after week, month after month, year after year. There are no ten-million-people protests in the US against guns.

Clearly, Americans love their guns more than they love their brothers and sisters, more than they do their fathers and mothers, more than they do their sons and daughters.

Nowhere else in the world has gun crime like you do.

Guns are designed to kill things, primarily humans. That’s what they do. Kill.

Prayers and thoughts for their latest victims are meaningless; even, I would posit, offensive to a rational mind and a heart that ordinarily tends to kindness and understanding.

Get rid of guns and you virtually eliminate gun-related deaths. This has been proven the world over. If you have to, then change your constitution; it’s not written in stone, after all. It wasn’t handed down on a mountain. Constitutions are meant to be changed if they are broken. Yours is broken.

I’m sorry to be so blunt, but maybe if Americans did something concrete, if they understood that liberty demands constant vigilance and defence, if they realised that freedom comes with responsibility for others as much as self, then your friends in the world would not have to be so direct, or even, as I’m sure I have been, offensive.

Those of us outside #America came to the conclusion that #Americans as a whole are quite happy with the frequency of #schoolshooting incidents quite some time ago. We don’t understand it, we are horrified, yet they barely register in the news cycle now. #sad doesn’t begin to describe this national psychosis the #US suffers from.

When you see troops on the streets of Washington DC … troops deployed for no reason … that’s what every other shithole dictatorship looks like.

It’s Trump’s dream to be the second coming of Hitler.

Solidarity from America 🇺🇸🇺🇦

Currently volunteering with the team at Coast of Life in Odesa. Today I handed them an 🇺🇸American flag—may it serve as a symbol of my gratitude, and of the unwavering support of the American people for Ukraine’s fight for freedom.🕊️

If #trump dies in office they’re going to lean on his memory like a saint to be canonized, and try to use that for the tech end game push. #putin will lose a puppet, but #america will already be Germany 1935, so he wins, too (who knows if #europe will go to war over #ukraine ).

#trump has to be taken down before he’s immortalized, as he’ll probably die in office. #uspol

A combat veteran decided to burn 🔥 the United States 🇺🇸 flag in Washington, D.C. hours after #DonaldTrump declared (via executive order) that burning 🔥 the American flag 🇺🇸 is illegal.

👉🏾 Man arrested over flag burning near White House after #Trump's executive order https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/man-arrested-burning-flag-white-house-trump-executive-order-rcna226727

The US Supreme Court has already ruled that burning 🔥 any flag is legal in #America 🇺🇸 & the act is protected by the First Amendment (it was a 5-4 decision in 1989).

The writing was on the wall for a long time. This Trump symbol goes back to 2017, yet people didn’t heed the warnings.

Now millions of Americans are horrified by what the Trump regime is doing to the country and say they had no idea about what the Republicans were planning if Trump returned to the WH.

Historically, the people of a nation seldom knowingly and willingly choose a king or emperor.

What usually happens is that someone simply assumes the role, and those in government go along with it. Meanwhile, those who weren’t paying attention wake up one morning to discover they now have a king or emperor — and by then, it’s far too late to do anything about it.

It is not too late yet, but it is getting close.
