The massacre began at 11:32 a.m., police said. The shooter opened fire in a fourth-grade classroom, a parent said, sending children fleeing for their lives. They crawled through windows and hid in a nearby funeral home to escape, witnesses said. https://t.co/5UsIZK793J
— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) May 25, 2022

Tuesday’s massacre was one at least 24 acts of gun violence committed on K-12 campuses during regular hours in 2022, according to a Post database.

Those shootings have left at least 28 people dead — making this year already the third-worst since 1999. https://t.co/eBN4Tvdfj2

Wednesday Reads: Replacement Theory

That cartoon above is by Pat Bagley, and it is another perfect example of the art of political cartoons.

Now as you know…political cartoons are my favorite. Here we go…via Cagle website:

There was such a problem with the last post I did on Sunday, that I wanted to share a few signs from the #BansOffOurBodies rallies that were held on Saturday…along with some updates and comments found on Twitter about the mass hate murder in Buffalo.

After Hurricane Katrina, struggling homeowners said, they were told not to worry about the fine print when they received grants to elevate their homes. Now the state is going after them because they did exactly that.

The Buffalo killer’s manifesto reads like a job application for a junior producer on Tucker Carlson.

On the Buffalo mass shooting hate crime:

Gendron's manifesto cites the "great replacement" theory as his motivation, states that he became "racist" reading 4chan while "bored" during lockdown in 2020, lists the Christchurch shooter as the source of his radicalization, and describes how he illegally modified his AR-15.

Reading the manifesto of the 18 yr old shooter. He’s motivated by “white replacement theory.” (Sound familiar?) Says he was radicalized on 4Chan. Says he’s racist, and antisemite. Cites Dylan Roof and other shooters as models. https://t.co/IEsnWb3Pu1

There were 3,800 anti-Asian racist incidents, mostly against women, in past year https://t.co/C4kaVslklr via @nbcnews

— Sherrilyn Ifill (@Sifill_LDF) March 17, 2021

A few trends worth noting:
💬Verbal harassment makes up 68% of hate incidents. Physical assault makes up 11%.
👩🏻Women are 2.3 times more likely to report hate incidents.
🌉45% of reports originated in California, making it the first in the nation for hate incident reports.

it's not lost on me that a white man can murder 8 asian women and be arrested alive but breonna taylor was killed by police while she was sleeping.

— Whitney Hu 胡安行 ☀️ (@whitney_hu) March 17, 2021

I believe they have since released the information that it is 6 Asian women, 1 white woman and 1 man.

“Six of the people killed were Asian, and two were white, according to law enforcement officials. All but one were women.” https://t.co/K4IEt4CdfZ

— Murtaza M. Hussain (@MazMHussain) March 17, 2021

Six Asian American women were killed in Atlanta today. We're still learning about the motive. However, you should know this: most racist attacks against Asian Americans this past year have targeted women, and Asian American women are on edge. (1/15)

I don’t even know what to say about Atlanta. Of course it was racism. Of course it was misogyny. Are we ever going to accept that at the root of a lot of our problems is how white men are raised to be entitled, hateful, and egocentric to the point of madness?

More than 37,000 times a year, #Florida kids have the #BakerAct used against them largely by schools, police & foster care facilities.

Allowing involuntary institutionalization, it's grossly overused as a disciplinary tool than a mental health one.
