Too soon to talk about gun violence, with loud helicopters from outside my window under a mile away from the church/school where I play pickup hoops that just had a mass shooting, during mass. 2nd mass shooting in under 24 hours here in S MPLS, prev was outside a school w 6 shot, 1 dead

'offering prayer' does nothing. Literally nothing to pray to a fake mythical god. Kids were literally praying in mass, while this happened under a mile from my house. Any time praying is less time actually helping. Help/comfort/support is what we can do, political leaders need to do more.

Massive gun control and gun law penalties or nothing. Both parties have failed us for generations, and now our children and entire country as global embarrassment to not value our own lives, even children. Anyone offering only thoughts and prayers should never speak again.

Let me be clear, you thinking only being in the majority in Senate allows you to affect anything, is such a losers mentality it's sad to hear in 2025. Stop being complacent to our political leaders like a b*tch. Fight for them to fight for us. Not online but at rallies, protests, town halls.

No F'n white voter is going to be in her way if she got in a plane to DC, got Dem Senators and staff together and took to the DC streets with all media what is going on.

Do you think Amy can do, say, work more for her constituents while a dictator runs wild in out country? You have fought against any time I say she should, so guess how that comes off? The opposite of agreeing. But please comment about her, as it is the topic at hand.
Marc Bloomquist (@m40dotcom.bsky.social) reply parent
....I do. And I encourage my powerful US Senators and other reps to as well as they will have far more affect than me. But you don't like me to do that. And I do it at our town halls, at rallies, and any chance in front of them. I do like how you changed the topic from Amy not doing enough tho
Marc Bloomquist (@m40dotcom.bsky.social) reply parent
Smooooooth ease into the change of topic. So we know you think Amy K is doing everything she can for her constituents and country, I don't. So we have that settled. I think US Senators (not me) and those in power taking action can really affect things, sorry if you don't and want them to give in
Marc Bloomquist (@m40dotcom.bsky.social) reply parent
So you don't know me at all either. I must've missed you at the MN Capital for recent No Kings protests, or Hands Off protest, many George Floyd protests from Lake St to Chicago Ave, back to Occupy Wall Street. But you see, I'm didn't run or take oath as US Senator, so it's not my job.

Please scroll the thread and see the at least 2-3 times I noted even the most basic things she could do. I get it, you don't think she should do more. That's fine. I disagree. And this white voters and 'knowledge of civics' tangent has nothing to do with Amy doing more. But as you do.
Marc Bloomquist (@m40dotcom.bsky.social) reply parent
I did, noting she could even simply speak like JB sounding alarms, be in DC, be in the streets and on all media to not let up....as an easy start. You ignore all that and divert to off topic about white voting demographics, which we all already know is true, and affect nothing about Amy's inaction
