I would like to say, again, that the press needs to be more responsible when they refer to mass murderers as “shooters.” A shooter is someone who fires a weapon. A mass murderer arrives on site with intention to murder.
This is how mass murders become normalized.

At this rate, Trump and his lot will have ensured there are no more elections. I don't even think I'm being melodramatic. Be afraid - very afraid.
Democrats must embrace the Progressive Left, and run on peace, equality, justice, freedom, healthcare, education, child care, vacation time, family leave, living wages, gun control, safe neighborhoods, & green energy for all.
Republicans will never win another election.
That’s a promise.
