Brown U., my alma mater, has been called "the Happy Ivy" by some because of the lifelong feeling of community it fosters. Saturday's mass shooting was another reminder that in a nation with 500 million guns, violence is eventually going to hit home

This is what happens when the FBI is run by two right-wing conspiracy theorist podcasters who spent the last 11 months purging almost anyone with institutional knowledge from the bureau. They're going to keep fucking this kind of thing up.

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

I don’t know how to process the horrific fire hose of tragedy that has been omnipresent but has spiked this weekend, and I suspect I’m not alone. We aren’t meant to carry this much suffering and be able to function at “normal” capacity. Be gentle with yourself and others, if you can.

I truly feel for everyone dealing with the Brown investigation. We have capable and transparent police and investigators in Rhode Island who are clearly working their asses off to get answers. They have to deal with a clown show of an FBI.

Last night, we witnessed yet another school shooting Brown University. Enough.
I have introduced or support several pieces of legislation to protect our communities, provide safe firearm storage and to limit rounds to prevent mass shootings. Let’s work together and get it done.

Sorry, but You Had to Be an Idiot to Believe Trump Could Lower Prices
The president’s disastrous affordability rally merely reraises the question: How could anyone have fallen for his campaign promises in the first place?

There's always one detail that will crack your heart entirely open.
"Friedberg visited Rhode Island Hospital on Saturday night, where she said she spoke with her teaching assistant, who had traveled there to support several of their injured students." Wow, the TA was present at the shooting and then went with students in the class to hospital to support.

Words can’t express my rage. At least 2 students on lockdown at Brown University already survived mass shootings.
Zoe Weissman survived Parkland in 2018.
Mia Tretta was shot in the stomach in Santa Clarita in 2019 and watched her best friend be murdered.
And now…again.

Folks are fine with anti-heroes like Walter White and Tony Soprano. We didn’t care whether or not they were likable. So why all the discourse over Carol Sturka? And she’s not even an anti-hero. She’s literally trying to save the world. She just happens to be a complex woman while doing it. #Pluribus
