What to say to survivors in the immediate aftermath of violence:
"I am here for you."
"I don't know what to say but I am here."
"What can I do for you?"
"I am going to the store. Do you needs meds? Food? I'll pick up milk and bread. What else would you like?"

What not to say to survivors of gun violence:
"They were in the wrong place at the wrong time."
We must be able to study, worship, shop, dance, and work without fear of gun violence.
Our hearts -- and our work -- is with survivors of violence.

British Columbians deserve to learn, work and worship without fear of violence and intimidation.

The deadly mass shooting in downtown Austin, the latest in Texas’ gun violence, marks the state’s seventh mass shooting of the year.
It is only March.
Different countries. Different causes.
Same unbearable truth: children are dying in schools.
Whether from war or from guns, classrooms should never become crime scenes. Every child deserves safety. Every parent deserves peace.
Nice drawing!
@timothysnyder.bsky.social You are so right as usual
Guns flow from US to Mexico, this must stop!

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

"No one should be able to come into a store and, in two minutes, inflict so much damage to a community, to a family, to children."
8 years ago today, Fred’s daughter Jaime & 16 others were stolen from their families by a 19yo gunman with an AR15 in Parkland. I urge everyone to support the work these families are doing to honor their children & loved ones.
