Shooting on my campus right after a local high school’s graduation ceremony. I walked right by this park a few hour ago. My heart breaks for the families and for all the Huguenot High and VCU students and staff who were there and had to live through this.

I loved a quote that a caller on @1a shared. She said she heard it from a liberal Irish priest: "Everyone talks about the morality of the bedroom. But what about the morality of the boardroom?" YES!

Otra vez en mi ciudad natal…. Nuevo Laredo se empezó a “poner feo” (como decimos por allá) como en el 2001. La ciudad jamás volvió a ser la misma.

First image is from the @nytimes morning newsletter. Second from the archive compiled by @GunDeaths: 9 mass shootings just this past weekend (11 killed + 56 injured) This Is Not Normal and we shouldn't become numb to it.
