The same day Charlie Kirk was killed, at least 72 Palestinians were killed by #israel in the genocide he supported, but his death received many orders of magnitude more attention from the mainstream press and from western political discourse.

So on another day of #americangunviolence my sympathies also especially go to the families of everyone in #gaza who’ve been massacred by bombs and bullets every day the last two years assisted by the #us government and cheered on by wealthy #republicans

As long as there is money to be made in the gun industry and on the violence-in-schools-deterrence industry, the shootings will continue.

"(T)rying to buy safety feels very American, just like school shootings."
