Today’s shooting at my med school hospital in Dayton, OH didn’t even make national news because it was overshadowed by another shooting at another hospital in Tulsa, OK.

A teacher who was murdered in the Uvalde shooting last week, and her husband who died the next day of a grief heart attack, had their funerals today. Then 3 active shootings happened simultaneously tonight, and we had to decide whether to feature all 3 or focus on the deadliest.

The shooter who murdered my beautiful butterfly Dylan carried ten 30-round magazines into Sandy Hook Elementary. In just four minutes, he shot 154 bullets, killing 20 children and six educators. Sign our petition demanding action to prevent school shootings now. – Nicole

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

Robb Elementary students went to school today ready to laugh with friends, exchange ideas, and learn. Fourteen aren’t ever coming home.

When will this country come together to denounce and deter the killing of innocent children and adults by heavily armed killers in a society where guns are so easily accessible? Another recent mass killing of 14 children in Uvalde, Texas, by an 18-year-old! Gun Control now!

40,000 Americans die annually from gun violence & Republicans have introduced 0 bills to save lives from gun violence.

0 evidence of election fraud & Republicans have already introduced 253 bills in 43 states to suppress the right to vote.

GOP was never about life or liberty.
