All of these related updates are 💔. Some of the kids are in critical condition.

Thoughts. Prayers. Repeat.

Another fucking coward who doesn't have the courage to just fucking kill himself.

Fucking coward.

Just more chickens returning to roost.

There is no never again. They will never let us have never again. It's the guns. Ban the mothereffing guns!

I don’t want to hear ‘thoughts and prayers’ when these children were literally praying when they were shot.

Noem already said she was praying for the victims. I agree, enough stating thoughts and prayers and do something about gun control. Again innocent children died and many hurt.

Oh, yeah. I’m sure those dead kids will rest easy knowing that any god who listens to a puppy killer is collecting their little innocent souls.

Magical wishes sent through the air.

Tariffs and prayers America.

The US is a shit hole

Shooting KIDS through a church window....what the actual f*ck has to happen before gun madness is dealt with?

Of course there is one thing we as a country can do. Next couple of elections vote all the republicans out of office. Give democrats a supermajority in the house and senate and the White House. Maybe (?) then something will get done to stop this.

Yes yes yes! Get rid of these sadistic horrible satanic Republicans who care about no one but themselves and the wealthy.

Why can’t these f*ckers ever just start by shooting themselves?

💔😢

Why? This is always the question. Why don’t we do something about it? Is the second question. And thoughts and prayers don’t cut it.

You'll ask yourself the same question after your midterms are "postponed" in 18 months. "Why didn't we do something while we could ?", as the Germans asked themselves after WW2.

This fear is a real and present danger.

My heart goes out to all affected by this heinous violence.

Leonard Leo and his Catholic Christofascist Supreme Court has blood on its hands. The Leo Catholic Supremes pulled the trigger that murdered those Catholic children yesterday. medium.com/@thcarter123...

Heller and Bruen: a national suicide pact.

Another day, another shooting. Children dead and injured. Why is there never enough white hot burning rage about this? I don't want to hear Democrats telling us that their "hearts go out.." etc, etc, etc. I want to hear them screaming "ENOUGH OF THIS FUCKING SHIT!!!!" at the top of their lungs.

Why is there a growing trend of 20 year olds getting access to guns and shooting people in mass? Where are the parents of these young men and what do they have to say about their young man’s mental health knowing he had possession of these guns?

Since every other part of the constitution doesn’t seem to matter to this administration I guess we can just ignore the 2nd amendment from now on too

Try SCHOOL CHILDREN MURDERED AT CHURCH. When a news service uses phrase like ‘unspeakably horrible’ to start a news story cheapens the story.

Gun Control. End NRA

In the bloodthirsty pro-death party, no lives matter.

Nothing to see here. In a week the press will never mention it again.

This is just horrific!

So sickened by another school shooting. I think the dems in congress should introduce gun safety legislation repeatedly to make it obvious that it’s the GOP refusing to move forward with safety measures.

More American death. Can we get the news to check if these kids had gunshot wounds and were covered in blood before the shooting so i can feel better about this and dismiss this as nothing i can do anything about status quo?

The only praying that Republicans do after a mass shooting, is praying that the shooter is part of a community they routinely vilify.

I wish we had decided long ago to establish a cemetery, sort of like Arlington, just for children and young adults who get shot on school campuses. That would have made a statement about the cumulative horror.

Ohhhh like the AIDS quilt for visual impact. Brilliant.

the thought of that is incredibly sad 😭

I know. But this will never end if a statement like that is never made.

The biggest threat to children in the USA is the Republican Party.

This is a conscious act on the part of republicans. They want people to be so afraid of their kids going to public school, that we will all home school. This reduces costs while simultaneously destroying education. “Their” schools will be heavily armored.

I’m just crushed, I can’t tell you how many times I went to celebrate my child’s first all school Mass. We are not great, we’re not even decent! 🙏🏽💙😞

And a shrug from republicans and the NRA death cult. Sacrifices for their 2nd amendment death cult.

Rinse, repeat... forever, apparently.

I really believe that if God forbid, their own children were killed they would still take blood money to block any gun laws.

As horrific and tragic as this is, nothing will change. Sad, but true.

It's at tragic times like this that Americans desperately need a leader who could genuinely express compassion and sympathy. Or at least HAVE compassion and sympathy.

Another day in 2A America… #BanAssaultWeapons Do something, ah never mind, nothing ever changes.

And yet we treat this as "normal" Only in America....😒

Yeah, it's an everyday occurrence with you guys. The sad thing is everyone goes out and buys a gun now

That’s horrible. But more despicable is that this is what maga republicans love. We can bet none of these so called republicans will go in front of the nation to condemn this despicable act. The more the guns are used in this country to kill our people the the happier maga republicans will feel. Sad

The kids were shot while praying. So I guess all Conservatives can do this time is just send thoughts?! What a joke. Common sense gun regulations won't solve all problems, but they might save some lives.

America is just a cesspool. Mass shooting is now the number one cause of death for children. I hate the right for this to keep happening and will happen almost everyday! Yea. The second Amendment Does not give the right to carry war time weapons. That is used in 98% of mass shooting! It’s your blood

It's thoughts and prayers time? 🤮

Journalists should call these actions “deadly assaults against our country” instead of a “horrible tragedy. “ A tragedy sounds accidental. These are premeditated assaults

As an Alumni of Annunciation, my heart is broken

They were praying. Thoughts and prayers are not a solution to gun violence. The worship of the gun in America is the biggest scam. For years Republicans said they had to arm themselves against the threat of armed Federal agents invading states. Well, here we are and THEY are the ones doing it.

Such a coward. A horrible coward. First killing, then killing self.

I can feel the rush of GOP thoughts and prayers off to protect the children

Don’t you think this shooting is awfully similar to the one when Trump was shot?

Yet nothing will change about gun control.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

If in 2012, after 20+ people were gunned down, most of whom were 6 year old children, two weeks before Christmas, the gun lobby won the narrative, why would ANYTHING change ever?!

Another Trans shooter

Capital punishment and "good guy with a gun" are no deterrent to this kind of thing

Honest question... Why are this incidence more frequent in the US ? And what do you think it needs to be done to find a permanent solution?

Just google it... It's been analyzed to death. The solutions are well known but the US (as a country) does not have the will to implement.

Guns don’t kill people. People have access to guns that they don’t need and the fault lies with each and every one of us who know the solutions and refuses to take action. No more “thoughts and prayers”. We have the ability to stop this, but refuse to act. SHAME🙏🏻

don’t forget he had anti-Latino, black and LGBTQ hate speech written on his gun!

Yet it's safe to assume that "Guns don't kill people." will continue to be the ammo-sexual escape hatch argument.

'We are all going to die' - Senator's healthcare comment-Sen Joni Ernst They are evil. ALL OF THEM. I am sincerely praying for the families and victims.

And somehow it’ll again be pitted against the Dems. I’m so sick of this crap happening over and over and over…

It is important to do reportage that isn’t superficial when there is much to learn about today’s shooting. I have seen more in-depth reporting elsewhere that points to the complicated factors that may have contributed to this event.

Unfortunately, just another day in paradise.

Waiting for the inevitable ' God must have been looking out for them, or more would have been killed ' idiocy. Fox being the most likely source .

Fuck thoughts and prayers. It's the goddammit guns.

THIS is the NATIONAL EMERGENCY. Weapons of war being used to kill our children.

🚨🚨🚨 Daily Reminder: The GOP doesn’t give a shit about protecting children, not from guns, not from sexual predators & not from preventable diseases.

So sad & equally true😢

Maybe treat Trans mental illness 🤔

Trans terrorism is now the biggest domestic terrorism concern in America. Transgenders are the biggest terrorist threat

Oh, but they’re big on banning trans athletes (along with drag queens as proof of their commitment to protecting children).😡

Why shoot children?

Every fing day now. The current regime doesn’t care at all about keeping us safe. Their policies harm us all.

Dude, praying on the rosary won’t help.

So GLAD I live in Canada… STAY THE FUCK OUT OF MY COUNTRY YOU MURDERING PSYCHOPATHS

committing a genocide abroad makes all the senseless gun violence make a little more sense (even thought it's existed for 30+ years along with our destructive treatment of the global south) Shared american values are to live in fear regardless of what's possible.

Yup. bsky.app/profile/patr...

Trigger Warning ⚠️ I’m sry but these mass shooting, raging/suicidal males have to man up, assume resp for their lives, and quietly off themselves instead of dragging innocent lives into their hellscape. Obviously I would prefer they get help and not hurt anyone. But enough is enough.

Absolutely unspeakable! Too bad there isn’t ANYTHING we can do about it!

Well, the shooter of Minneapolis will never be pardoned by the swamp rat.

and preventable if our heroes didnt fight aoc h arder than they fought republicans while using the parliamentarian as an excuse to do jack shit

My heart hurts for this community as the school year just started 😢😢😢😢😢 when will this stop! Our churches aren’t safe nor our schools or grocery stores because our Representatives value gun rights more than they do our lives

bsky.app/profile/fkam...

Never seen that one... very good.

You mean a good guy with a gun — law enforcement officer or ordinary citizen — did not prevent this heinous act from occurring? NRA and gun-loving Repubs, we would like to hear from you on this. CRICKETS, except, of course, the trite hopes and prayers.

No coincidence it was Minnesota.

When you affirm mental illness instead of treating it, people get hurt, stop trans mass shootings!!

It’s the free and easy access to guns.

Hum I wonder in what country this seemingly unavoidable event did occur

The GOP doesn't give a shit about anyone except white millionaires.

Do we have to listen republican gas bags talk about bullet proof curtains, bullet proof backpacks, and the number of fucking doors again?

Probably. They are incredibly uncaring and dumb.

WTF is wrong with people why didn't the shooter just kill himself and not kids? This is terrible. Lets see what the orange turd will say about this.

A Wednesday

This country sucks!

Will he surge troops to Minneapolis?

No disrespect to anybody but since these people were in a church literally praying this should be the end of the "thoughts and prayers" answer the GOP loves to give.

Dumb fuckers will say, it's not the gun it's the shooter. But it's the gun that allows the shooter to fire so many shots. NO MORE AR15's or any assault style rifle.

It’s what we do at an exceptional level in this country.

Must be any regular Wednesday

I'm in Europe. When I read the headline, knowing it was in your country, I had zero reaction. I'm numb to it now. If I thought deeply about this particular tragedy, I'm sure I'd be deeply moved and tearful for all those involved, but your leaders are more concerned with the Smithsonian, LGBTQ ... 1/

... and deporting persons of colour who might be undocumented, regardless of whether they've committed a crime. In UK, we had 1 firearm incident in 1990s, changed law, no further incident. Clearly US citizens don't care enough about these deaths to elect the people who will change your laws. 2/2

Feel the same. 1. Ashamed to say we get "numb" there are so many of them + 2. US people don't do anything and the solutions are well known. BTW Canada (pop: 41M) 70 mass shootings TOTAL since 2000 (25 years). US (pop: 340M) Average 621 PER YEAR since 2020.

If Sandy Hook didn’t change the national direction of gun regulation, nothing will.

Republican Party protects pedophiles and school shooters

Who will Trump blame for the shooting, the mayor or the governor?

This would not be as common or familiar if every state (or the country as a whole) had sensible gun laws regulating the time, manner and place of carrying a gun, laws mandating criminal and mental background checks before one can hear arms, and laws barring de facto semi automatics.

"Familiar"says it all. And, all too often.😢💔

theonion.com/no-way-to-pr...

Don’t shoot at kids and teachers, shoot at ICE!

Chris can you do a segment on how the biggest domestic terrorism threat to America are now trans people and people who justify their hate for Donald trump and Christians to kill children. Time to be brave and speak the truth,

Tots and pears to shove up your GOP gun protecting asses (not you, Chris; you're on the right side of history)!

I don't know what to tell you when the ruling political party has decided that our children's lives are expendable in order to keep the gun pipeline unrestricted, and to avoid spending any money on mental health services that instead could go to billionaire tax cuts. This is just who we are now.

When gun violence strikes, I have this thing rooted in the movie “Telefon” in which the Soviet Union planted a number of long-term, deep-cover sleeper agents all over the United States, so thoroughly brainwashed that even they did not know they were agents.

😭😭

The gunman is in hell Kids do not deserve this

🇺🇸 is not well

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0l8...

And yes I will go there, do we now have martyrs in the regime?

Gotta wonder. As suspicious as the "Miracle Ear" shooting, this (dare I say) "cabal," will say anything, and stop at nothing.

Trump Effect as a permission structure www.cambridge.org/core/journal... “…in the presence of prejudiced elite speech – particularly when it is tacitly condoned by other elites – the study finds that the prejudiced are emboldened to both express and act upon their prejudices.”

Lets see if the right is as outraged at the slaughter of these children as they were with the Subway sandwich "assault"

Just horrendous

The shooter was pro palestine leftist. Chris what do you think happens when you scream genocide, fascism, famine everyday. The leftist loons have embraced violence and they are cowards who will direct their anger into the softest targets, children

Sadly, this is what happens when the gun lobby and our Republican politicians continue trying to convince America that the solution to gun violence is buying more guns.

The irony here of "thoughts and prayers." We need gun control and an aggressive campaign, à la that of tobacco, to change American gun culture. This is totally irrational.

Absolutely, Chris, like the many times that it happened under Dear Loser Trump's first administration, including in Parkland, and how it continued in places that refused to work with Biden, including Uvalde. But look, it's been growing since the 100+ in the 90's, and they're still doing NOTHING.

I was looking at statistics and discovered this nypost.com/2022/07/17/u...

EXCELLENT, Solo--frankly, bullying is a second area where Abbott entirely failed--and there was a little girl, weak girl, tears in her eyes, who asked me once, "Can you limit access to bullying?"--look, that's much, much harder than protecting people from gun violence, which takes common sense but..

look, the bullying issue goes back to inclusion, which Crazy Abbott and Dear Loser Trump also made the no intelligence move to get rid of. Their terrible "exclusion" policies--because if you don't have inclusion, it's exclusion--scapegoats many types of people into hating each other, can't have that

Same thing in companies, whistleblowers will get fucked even when the company endanger lives.

It's not that difficult, most of the time teachers and other adults don't mind it or will retaliate against the one who is the victim. Maybe they would call it "character building". Or some other macho bullshit.

There's ZERO doubt about it being nasty behavior--and I mean really nasty--but, look, bullying is about having something going on in the mind that has to be taught away, it does, and sometimes you have to make people stop fighting first, that's no fighting, and then you change the minds...

Also, if there was such an outcry for each Palestinian kids killed by US weapons or wherever else the US is sending weapons 🤦‍♂️ truthout.org/articles/us-...

The very strange thing is, if it was committed by an arab, the narrative would be so different. If any of those was happening in Europe, you would not hear the end of it.

An ongoing, uniquely American tragedy with obvious logical solutions. There is blood on the hands of the GOP and the twisted courts that do their bidding. In 2024 there were 40,000 gun-related deaths in the USA.

Proof that a GOD is not going to protect us from bullets, as long MAN keeps his guns. Church, night clubs, grocery stores, beaches, public parks, at home, elementary/high schools, colleges, malls, night-time, day-time...no matter time or place, us 🇺🇸s are we are NEVER safe from GUN VIOLENCE. 🤬🤬🤬😪😪😪

How did we let this become the new first-day-of-school tradition? Sirens, lockdowns, and grief instead of backpacks and smiles? The NRA, Republican lawmakers, and gun manufacturers have twisted the 2nd Amendment into a grotesque shield for profit and cowardice. 1/2

One day, they will have to reckon with the blood on their hands. One day we will all have to reckon with our feckless complicity. 2/2

Forget about it... In 18 months, after the midterms will have been "postponed" for national security "reasons", it will be illegal to reckon on anything. “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” George Orwell, 1984

Let’s call it by its name White male supremacy at it again.

Evil & cruel people who kill people just because they can or want to. No one wants to stop them especially Republicans! They understand violence and killing people. It’s their thing! They voted for Trump.

Las Vegas will let you bet on anything these days. I like the odds that the shooter is not a person of color, immigrant, Muslim, or radical lefty!

Seemed to be motivated by a lot of different things www.timesofisrael.com/videos-linke...

When this is the inevitable outcome of mass shootings, my eternal question is...why not start with YOURSELF????? POS coward. As usual.

Always that question arises. Maybe there is a desire, even during psychosis, for community. Suicide feels too lonely unless you take others with you into death. You want the larger world to share your homicide/suicide/despair consciousness. The internal world of the psychopathic/suicidal killer.

It's the guns. #GunControlNow

Magakaze drone attack

The United States, the only country in the world that sees its children dropping dead in schools and does nothing.

He had every red flag in the book and still never got real psychiatric help. But sure just keep gutting our medical system why don't we.

Magas are going to get more crazy the deeper this goes

It could be any school, anywhere.

Just waiting for The Onion headline: “No Way To Prevent This, Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens”

And now we'll see the standard "Thoughts and prayers" from the GOP officials, and they will still refuse to do the barest minimum to keep guns out of the hands of people that everyone else agrees, should never have had access to them in the first place!

Any info on the dickweed that did the shooting?

Maybe from Russia, maybe trans, but that’s unsubstantiated so far.

FU nra

Will Stancil has been saying this morning he’s worried that Trump will use this to send the military to Minneapolis. I share this concern. Prayers to the families with lives lost in the meantime

Horrific! Saddening. And yet, Republicans will say they have to have their weapons of war and the NRA rather than strict gun gun controls. 😔 so much misery for many whilst we beg our government to stop this violence against innocent lives. 😢

I think we are missing a critically important point. Today's horrific shooting was yet another murder/suicide. Most of these school-related shootings are murder/suicides or murder/suicide by cop. Whether it's an isolated suicide or murder/suicide, the real crisis is the rising suicide rate.

The average number of fatal school-related shootings of school-age children in recent years in the US is about 19 per year. This is about the same number of young people age 10-24 that commit suicide in the US--every single day.

The data sources: nces.ed.gov/programs/coe... www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/... www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-...

Outlaw all automatic weapons and allow only black powder guns. That way you won’t step on anyone’s rights. Gun shops would hate it along with nra.

I will never understand what makes a person, who wants to die, take innocent lives before committing suicide. If I ever do understand, I will be worried about my own mental health.

School is just starting. Where are the righteous republicans now? Don't want to save the children once they are here. Release the Epstein files!!

Of course he did. But these cowardly demons never want to die alone. Only to prevent facing the consequences of their actions. It almost makes you want to believe he’ll face a vengeful god.

Disgusting, GOP and Trump will offer thoughts and prayers. They contribute to this because of their hate and ignorance.

This will be the official reason the media stops covering Epstein files.

Of course another school shooting of 8 and 10 yr Olds.. I hate these people who think that children's lives are worth nothing and fuck the government who protect the gun manufacturers.

Also unnecessary, and solvable

The reports said that people were at morning mass. I went to Catholic grade school. There is no place to run in church. The call for gun control will not work, until we can get rid of those 6 corrupt Supreme Court judges. With Trump, it's only going to get worse, with Bove waiting to be next.

Don't mention his name!

It’s Wednesday in America

One more reason to march. Labor Day, Monday September First, we march again. Get up and be seen. fiftyfifty.one maydaystrong.org findaprotest.info

Another school year another school shooting

Gunning down children is the most unholy of acts against humanity. When will we stop pretending that there’s nothing that can be done.

Saw this meme yesterday, somewhere on the internet. It's the sad truth.

Republicans all but pulled the trigger

just another lovely murderous day in merika.

MORE DEAD CHILDREN! What will this administration offer? THOUGHTS, PRAYERS & FUCK YOUs!

"Somehow" horribly familiar...? Really?

Will be used to sell more guns in 3..2..1

Do the media pundits ever think that guns might be scaring the people afraid of "crime"?

medium.com/@colingajews...

Bone spur may try to use as an excuse to send troops to Minnesota

That’s a give me. They’re using the Natl Guard in DC to pick up trash currently so no doubt thats what he needed to distract and send them to terrorize this State.

That was my first thought.

Probably ☹️ Horrible 😭 Those poor kids 😭

😮😮
