The doors were locked.

The teachers were armed.

TN expanded firearm access.

The police arrived in minutes.

Covenant school had everything that MAGA GOP assured us prevents & stops mass shootings. And 3 babies & 3 adults were murdered in seconds.😳

IT’S—THE—GUNS

Well, according to Oxford English Dictionary, the definition of "liberal" is "a supporter of a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise."

I support democracy, civil/individual rights, liberties of the marginalized, and regulation of this abysmal capitalist system.

That'd make me a "Modern Liberal" in some way.

Still, I'll be a liberal in any circumstance, because I stand for liberty and equity.

But if we hold ONE rich white man accountable for his crimes, what’s next? Holding SOME rich white men accountable for their crimes? Holding ALL rich white men accountable for their crimes? It’s a slippery slope.

The UK announces that instead of spending 100 million pounds on a 3 day Coronation for the new King, on Coronation Day the BBC will run a 24-hour Charles in Charge marathon.

Taliban has banned women from seeing male doctors AND banned women from seeking medical education to become doctors. This is a sure fire way to kill women. It’s beyond barbaric.

Moreover, Prophet Muhammad (sa) declared education incumbent upon women AND declared medical knowledge as the most worthwhile knowledge. Taliban extremists ignore that entirely—because they fear truth, justice, and empowered women.

Taliban are enemies of all humanity.
