Mom to Seth who was murdered while attending Berkeley 💔 Trumps hateful rhetoric angered his neighbor to kill 💔 I now advocate for gun control and speaking for those who no longer can 💙 Teacher

1) 5 yrs ago today our son was taken from us violently. A man near Seth in Berkeley was enraged by the racism on display and the crappy Covid response. I know because he told me in court as he tried to as for forgiveness. He had seen George Floyd killed on camera 2 1/2 weeks earlier. He got a gun….
Hypocrisy dripping 💧💧💧💧

The legal, media, and academic institutions capitulating to an authoritarian ordering payments for favorable treatment are damning themselves to irrelevance. They are destroying their institutions. They will be — and should be — shunned for failing in their most basic purposes for existing.

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

When Mark Carney sets specific goals for Canada to "diversify away" from its reliance on the US—making headlines in Canada but not the US—hear that for what it is: Close partners and allies looking elsewhere for better friends.

This is the silent way that the US loses its pointless trade war.

This is not politics as usual. We are not going to "just vote our way out in three years." We—including you—will need to personally get involved or authoritarianism is here to stay.

No parent should lose their child to random gun violence 💔💔💔😞😞😞😞 #SethSmithdidntdeservetodieat19 #GunControlNOW
No child, absolutely no child, should die, especially from senseless gun violence. It’s upsetting and tragic that this country hasn’t figured out how to stop this.

My heart is with the city of Stockton right now because a parent shouldn’t have to come home without their child tonight.

not removing Trump is a dereliction of duty and it needs to be treated as such

Nobody outside this country is wondering, like the pundit class does, what was wrong with Kamala Harris.

Everybody outside this country is wondering what’s wrong with US.

As a whole, Americans don’t know to actually listen…….. The distraction machine has been ongoing for decades. And the dumbing down in education has as well ……… 😞
The more contact I have with the general public the more I’m convinced everything important in life was taught in kindergarten and some of us got it. A lot didn’t, and you can tell as an adult.

There is seriously something wrong with this man.

Also, he is devoid of any joy. He is bitter and rotten to the core. This post proves it.

Basically a shit for brains.

A) Pretty sure that's not how this works

B) If that is how this now works, then goodbye every single old EO the *moment* a new president comes into office. We can just say "oh they're all autpen" or w/e made-up bullshit to sweep them away
