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.

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.
