We are failing our children. Guns are now the leading cause of death for children in the U.S. Michelle and I mourn with the students and families of the Covenant School today.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
According to the CDC, accidents are the leading cause of death for children and adolescents. The claim that guns are the leading cause of death for children would only be true if children under 1 are excluded and 18 and 19 year olds are counted as children. cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/c… cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/a… snopes.com/news/2023/03/2… statesman.com/story/news/pol…

Today, I directed our team to divest the State of Nevada from any investment in a business that profits from the sale or manufacture of assault-style weapons. No one policy or law will fix this crisis, but we all must do something. 1/2 youtube.com/watch?v=mLLUvFm0…

The fact that IOF knew this would be one of the most broadcasted funerals in decades and could still act with this level of brutality tells you all you need to know about the total impunity the world has allowed them to enjoy. They know they won’t be hold accountable.
Everyone switch on to Al Jazeera right now. This is one of the most horrifying things I’ve seen. IOF is attacking mourners carrying Shireen’s body from the hospital right now. They’re using stun grenades and tear gas and charging at them with horses and batons.

I wrote about some of the more extreme anti-abortion restrictions at the state level and asked Catholic moral theologians, especially women, for their thoughts. “The culture wars have distorted the Catholic tradition,” @ThereseLysaught told me. ncronline.org/news/opinion/c… @NCRonline
