THIS is what democracy looks like!

Hey hey, NRA,
How many kids did you kill today?

#ENOUGH RESIST! REMOVE! Peace.

Here is a lot of info if you want to take action on gun control. This is a safety issue. I put together a lot of info from liberal groups about current actions we can take with our govt as well as events planned for activists/resistance in March !app and April. The number has tripled since I posted it last Fri. Please pass it on. Thanks!

Kudos to the amazing teachers at Stoneman Douglas High School.

Every student who has spoken today in Tallahassee has been clear, concise, and eloquent. They each demonstrate so clearly the education they have been given.

Public education is alive and well in America.

The politicians I have known would fall to their knees and blow anybody willing to give them a check. They don't care about working for the people. Its all a con so they can keep their great job and have lesser types kiss their butt. So if you give them money, they will do anything. If not, you better call them sir or congressman. Our political system is badly broken

'make policy' bc they're still not developed enough in the brain functioning department.

But, ya see, they're old enough, by cracky, to get bonked by a first class sleeze like ol' roy. Ya heard?

Int. Day. Dark, smoke-filled room with old furniture, older conservative men (not all men!!!!) and even older scotch.

Beautiful, isn't it? Sad it took the loss of another 17 innocent lives though. Hopefully their lives will not be lost in vain.
