Tennessee authorities identified the four victims who were killed when a partially naked gunman opened fire at a suburban Waffle House early Sunday. All four were young people of color with their whole lives of ahead of them. #WaffleHouse

BREAKING: He has been arrested.

Yeah, he’s alive and well. And that’s just fine that he will face justice.

There's a distinct lack of coverage on how the #WaffleHouse shooting was likely racially-motivated.

All of the dead were people of color; the shooter was a white man with a history of white supremacy.

If we can't even talk about this, it won't ever be fixed.
