U.S. politicians' responses to mass shootings are "always performative," says @cameronkasky.bsky.social.
"This administration... is so defined by tragedy, cruelty, and violence that something like children being shot dead while they are praying is not going to be a topic next week."

To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.
