There is possibly no clearer evidence of how American society has been bent to conservatives' whims than regarding gun violence. Our country's gun laws are flatly insane, and there has been no meaningful momentum for serious reform in years.
Each semester I go in my classroom and I try to figure out what we would use to block the doors, if it would be safe to crawl out the windows, where we could hide if there was a mass shooter in campus. It’s such an indictment of this country how we have normalized these preventable tragedies.

This all feels like watching someone you love (America) suffer from an addiction and watching helplessly as they spiral into chaos. Except every time you try to get them support or stage an intervention they call in drone strikes on the rehab center.
