Wow. Amazing powerful stuff from @ievajusionyte.bsky.social. This has been tough to process for me, and this essay articulates a lot of what I’ve been feeling. #EverTrue
I’m a scholar of gun violence. Not even I can process what happened at Brown. - The Boston Globe
My typical response to school shootings is to call for policy changes. But I’m afraid the task ahead is bigger than that.

The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns.
The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.

Thankfully, a person of interest is in custody.
I’ve been staying off social media this month, but this one hurts too much to stay silent.
Brown’s campus is a sacred place for me, especially the science quad. It maddens and saddens me that this happened at a safe place of learning. I hate that the students will now live with this trauma

The horrific tragedy at Brown University is the 389th mass shooting this year and the 230th gun incident on school grounds so far this year.
This is not normal and we don't have to live this way.

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.
