My favorite part about the reporting on the cops waiting outside while the shooter murdered a bunch of kids is how the country’s collective amnesia will kick in soon & criminal justice reformers will start getting pushback again when we try to implement long overdue police reform

“Let’s solve school shootings by allowing only one door in and out of every school” is so astoundingly, overtly stupid that I feel I’m being punked. It’s like an SNL skit. Too dumb to be funny.

Imagine thinking — knowing? — your supporters are such morons they’ll go for this.

I’m sorry, but this is fucked. The school district did have armed police officers onsite; the students did active shooter drills. None of it kept those 19 kids alive. The tired old horseshit you have recited over a decade has been implemented and doesn’t come close to cutting it. https://t.co/0KaJ8RYFXp

If any cop in Uvalde or anywhere else right now admits that they personally are unprepared to respond to an active shooter mass casualty event then throw the badge and gun on your desk and walk into traffic. You have all the goddamn resources at your fingertips.

I will never forgive the people who make excuses for a country that allows this to happen routinely. https://t.co/Jx5r55Izhk

The police station is 3 minutes from Robb Elementary. Nowhere in town is more than 10 minutes from the police station. What were these guys doing for over an hour, while they were not entering the school? https://t.co/O0sqI6g4Kd

Waitaminute you’re gonna headline an NRA get-together two days after 18 kids got murdered by the gun in your state but @BetoORourke is a sick sonofabitch for calling you out it? Go fuck yourself, Governor, you fuckin amoral hack. You too, Sen Cruz.

Fuckin' dark how publications can just republish their articles from the last mass shooting where no one did anything. https://t.co/aNgbMt1KJy

If you see little kids gunned down at school on the news, and your first and apparently only thought is “now they’re going to come for my guns”, I don’t know what’s wrong with you.

The Texas shooting has wrecked me man. Those beautiful children, with so many years yet to live, with summertime so close they could feel it. Instead, no summers ever again. 💔

I’m sure these pro-life people are going to be super pissed when they find out about all these kids getting massacred in schools.

They’ll probably want to defend the sanctity of life even if it means limiting the bodily autonomy of a large segment of the population.

Fuck your prayers. They haven’t worked for the last 20 mass shootings how about passing laws that will stop these killings. https://t.co/Wz432YCMPe

I'm tired of hearing "that won't work".

I want to hear "this is what we're willing to try."

— Jen Gumbel (@jgumbel) May 25, 2022

No, Ben, it is a plea from people who are fed up with the endless train of massacres that are followed by elected leaders doing nothing. We cannot keep shrugging our shoulders and pretending that the slaughter of a class of kids is an acceptable price to pay for "freedom." https://t.co/wsKOK3FcgU

Abrams' family moved to Georgia from Mississippi in 1989,when Abrams was 16. Other than going to law school in Texas, she's lived in Georgia ever since.

No. There was a time when slavery had two sides. Then it did not. What @WesleyLowery asks for is clear language without the passive voice: e.g., "police shot" rather than "was shot." That's moral and grammatical and journalistic clarity. It is advocacy for truth. https://t.co/JSlG0N5oVI
