WATCH & SHARE: “3 kids died yesterday. What are you doing to keep kids safe today?”
LOUD SILENCE as @Kanew asked the @TNGOP @tnsenategop @tnhousegop supermajority what they’re doing to protect our kids from gun violence. Please share their cowardice.

So, let’s talk about this, and why it’s an idiotic idea.
I know guns. I’ve done a lot of shooting. I shoot very well, in both low AND high stress situations. Do you know how many thousands of rounds it takes to get to that point? A LOT.
Security guards would get security guard pay. Security guards getting security guard pay, are not going to be people who have the shooting skills required to take out a killer wielding a high capacity rifle.
When your adrenaline kicks in, your fingers feel like a fat salami. Your heart is pounding so loud you hear it in your ears. Your field of vision narrows so much that someone could approach you from the periphery…and you’d never see them coming.
Your body does everything it possibly can, to prepare to survive…and almost ALL of it….erodes every aspect of your ability to shoot accurately.
That’s what happens to people who haven’t trained in high stress conditions and fired thousands of rounds in training.
Did you know that police officers miss 85% of the shots they take at 15-21 feet? (Because even police officers often lack the kind of training they need to shoot well under stress.)
All an armed security guard at schools is likely to accomplish, is a false sense of security, and being the person the shooter plans to shoot and kill first, adding yet another person to the body count.
And that, my friends….is why Rick Grenell…is talking out of his ass….AGAIN.

When your Social Security is gone, when your daughter bleeds out from a miscarriage bcs of anti-abortion laws, when you can't marry who you love or get contraception, when Christian Nationalism takes over America remember you voted based on the price of gas in 2022

Remember: Erin Darling is an extremist who won’t enforce anti-camping laws at playgrounds, beaches and libraries. Even Karen Bass is supportive of 41.18! Let your neighbors know!

So we're all supposed to "prepare for blizzard conditions" just because the scientific establishment and the media say so? And anyone who says it will be sunny and 70 is canceled?
All's I'm saying is, lots of $ changing hands in snow shovel industry. Do your own meteorology.

Day 2 of hospital service
A few observations about the whole "hospitalized for COVID" versus "hospitalized with COVID"
This distinction matters
But may be not in the way people think
First, we have a few patients in the hospital for COVID
But not many, thank goodness
Thread
Mat UCLA retweeted
Not many because RI is highly vaccinated state
More common on our service is folks admitted with COVID
That is, they came to hospital for something else and found to have COVID
Its tempting to say that COVID here incidental and therefore, doesn't matter
Not quite right

Something is brutally killing the residents of a small town. Could Bigfoot be the culprit? Mystery fans will love @maxbrooksauthor's #Devolution. This bone-chilling listen is narrated by Judy Greer, Jeff Daniels and NPR legend Terry Gross. apple.co/Devolution

This is what everyone needs to understand. If we only get 49% NO votes on the California recall, Larry Elder becomes the new governor.
That means he could be Governor with only 20% of the vote. Think about that. But don’t take too long…
Tomorrow is the deadline to vote NO🚫.
