Today in Florida a white supremacist used an AR-15 to kill 3 Black people, because Florida demands even white supremacist terrorists have easy access to firearms鈥攂ut then forbids any child from learning the history of white supremacists mass murdering Black people

It鈥檚 the 238th day of 2023鈥搕he 472nd mass shooting, 30th mass murder, & we鈥檝e surpassed 28K gun deaths馃槼

We don鈥檛 have to live like this. We need federal gun reform. And we need champions in Congress who will relentlessly fight for it

I'm with you. But I don't see a winning strategy. The right is batshit. They are neither reasonable nor reachable. They left is too milquetoast for anything beyond pandering. They hamstring Bernie. They scorn Ocasio-Cortez. There is no real left in America. And most voters think being a centrist is noble instead of stupid. Got any advice for a cynic that still dreams?

You've summed up all my thoughts on the current state of the US and to be honest, I don't see things getting better until something catastrophic happens. A lot of fucked up stuff has happened in the past three years, but I don't think any of it was enough to spark change. I think all we can do for now is just survive and wait out all the ancient politicians.
