Federal prosecutors want the #DeathPenalty for Mangione under #terrorism charges for killing one CEO. Meanwhile, #SchoolShooters get lesser charges, as does a #FarRight extremist with over 150 finished homemade bombs, as non-élite lives are worth less.

Over 98% of #SchoolShooters are straight #cis males, almost all of them use #AssaultWeapons in their slaughter, but sure... Let's blame #LGBTQ people for #MassShootings. 😡🤦‍♀️

LGBTQ people are about 10% of the general population (depending on age group), but far less than 0.01% of mass killers. #Gun owners are 30% of the U.S. general population, but 100% of our mass killers.

I don't think other people's #pronouns are your problem, America.
