Imagine the Consequences

 A year after shooting, 'Uvalde Strong' takes on differing meanings for a Texas town still grieving

Families left to their own grief. The “thoughts and prayers,” have expired, the loss remains, and the business of MURDER in Texas still thrives, thanks to the Republican Governor, and the Ultra Majority of Republicans in the Texas Legislature.

 

Dead people are still dead. Corpses were buried, and at least the pieces of people shattered and destroyed because nothing says destruction like an attack from an Assault Weapon. Human flesh and bone were placed in a coffin. Services were held, survivors of the murdered cried, asked why, and wondered how in the world. But nevertheless, the GOP of Texas prioritized the NRA, the Murder Cartel, and their own Political Futures above any loss of life.

 

A year later and of course, nothing, nada, zilch, zero, had been offered as a solution to the murder by Assault Weapon.

 

But in Texas, the Texas Republicans, are busy BANNING BOOKS, DENYING WOMEN ANY RIGHTS REGARDING THEIR REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS, CALLING OUT DRAG QUEENS, AND INSISTING THAT TRANS KIDS ARE FREAKS. 

 

Act up, Fight back, be loud, and remember that Silence Equals Death. If not, imagine the consequences!
