Just to be clear: should I have the terrible misfortune to be killed in a mass shooting, please feel free to politicize the hell out of it. And go ahead and do so immediately. No time will be “too soon”.

This is a natural reaction of your brain to repeatedly seeing horrific things. It will pay less and less attention to those images and have less of a visceral reaction. You can accept horrors.
This is what the fascists want. They want you to accept things continually getting worse and more violent.

Next year in November, the Voyager 1 spacecraft will be ONE full light day away from the Earth!
Launched in 1977, it took almost 50 Earth years to reach "just" distance of 1 light day
Space is so big and we are so tiny :blobcatgiggle:

Mike Johnson tried tonight to characterize the upcoming No Kings 2.0 day on 10/18 as a “Hate America” movement. Wrong. Utterly wrong. To reject dictators, authoritarians, and tyrants is to love America, to love the very idea at the heart of it.
