You see he’s a puppet, an ancient lyre,
Wooden, hollow inside, ripe for the pyre.
His strings are pulled, so deftly they pluck,
By any, all, who sing him a tribute of a buck.

With Halloween coming quickly, please consider doing this if you can or contacting local organizations and schools that may be holding Trunk or Treat events that could participate. Please spread the message too! Any little bit helps. Let’s keep the kids fed as best we can. 🧡

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.
Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

COMMENTARY: Charlie Kirk was shot in Utah today. And so were schoolchildren in Colorado. Because of the sick delusion that violence solves problems. None of us is safe.

I’m seeing a lot about donating to the families of school shooting victims—can we also make sure the teachers get a little? They’re left with a lifetime of trauma too.

As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.
