Ga is a Republican trifecta with a state constitution that doesn't allow for citizen-led ballot initiatives or referendums. Our only chance to restore reproductive freedom is by taking the state house. Help by donating to United for Ga Women secure.actblue.com/donate/united-….

It is so fucking dystopian that the answer I keep seeing to "why shouldn't we ban cell phones in schools" is "so kids can text their parents that they love them if there's a school shooter"

journalists, please cover this statement for exactly what it is: Brian Kemp saying that gun violence is inevitable in Georgia, including within our schools ("this is a day every parent dreads") and... that's it. he's not heartbroken. this is the world he helped build.

Regularly thinking about how to best protect dozens of children from being murdered in my classroom is not something teacher school prepared me for.

What universal carry in Georgia means is that when someone is investigated for making threats of violence toward their school, not single flag is raised when someone in their household owns a firearm.

Ending the school to prison pipeline also means that we don't charge children as adults even when they commit acts of unfathomable violence.

Framing school shootings as a foregone conclusion rather than taking ownership of the policies (passed by this administration) which enabled this kind of violence is so glaringly dissonant my brain is glitching. #GaPol

One of the only things I don't miss about teaching is the number of days I would spend thinking about where I'd hide my kids if we had an active shooter. It's one of the few things that gives me pause when I think about going back. Thoughts & prayers are not enough.

I still haven't gotten over the day my kids realized there wasn't enough room to hide all of them AND me if there was a shooter at our school. We're traumatizing our kids (and our teachers) every single day we do not pass gun reform.

If you think you want an MPP, you should know - policy work is just continuously adding new articles to your reading list and never actually finishing any of them ever again.
