For most of us, yes. But not all. Some are conflating their anger with everything Texas and letting it all out. We’ll let social justice advocate Lucy Flores go first, since she was in line.
Texas is trying to force women to birth children just so they can be shot in school. Regulate uteruses but deregulate guns. Process that and make it make sense. #Uvalde #TXmassshooting #children

Coming up about a half-hour late is The Economist’s Steven Mazie. Read this tweet and then guess what he covers? SCOTUS, of course.
In one breath they’ll let states force women to give birth. In the next they’ll stop states from protecting children from being murdered at school. https://t.co/DKOri0zHT8

Birth is the natural end to a pregnancy. What a wicked foolish tweet.

Lucy prefers the optically sterile mass murder scene with the scalpel and white coat.

Of all of the takes today, this is probably the most ghoulish.
Seek help.
