If you are serious about guns and social justice there are groups that are having these discussions. I implore you to seek them out (I'm not going to link cause there are feds on here).

Do not hop into random people's mentions and say shit like, "that's what the 2nd amendment is for"

Some people are going to say: I hate guns

I have read This nonviolent stuff will get you killed. I understand the role of guns in the civil rights movement.

This is not the same as hoping into a random person's mentions telling them to arm themselves.

Really, truly, seek help.

Your advice is useless to me.

And if you are suggesting that I - a black woman born to immigrant parents - illegally procure a gun you can go fuck yourself.

Also, I live in a city in a state with pretty strict gun laws.

Whether or not I own a gun is between me and my city. But assuming I did not - as most NYC residents do not - It takes just under a year to legally get a gun.

Look, I'm not ignorant. We live in a country with pretty ambient violence. But I fucking implore you to pick up a book about fighting for democracy that isn't just about WWII because lots of people have found a way to find freedom that doesn't involve mass slaughter.

It's actually kind of crazy to me how in the past two days people in my mentions have basically said we should accept being killed by the state as a consequence of fighting for democracy.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has โ€œplenary authority,โ€ then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasnโ€™t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the โ€œplenary authorityโ€ comment edited out.

It is especially bizarre for people to act like there's no way to know what the facts are on this, there are entire books written on this and in fact an entire school of revisionist history which was made popular over this in Israel itself.

Opinion | Six surgeons general: Itโ€™s our duty to warn the nation about RFK Jr. We took an oath to declare dangers when we found them. Weโ€™re doing that again today.

Six former surgeons general appointed by every President since George HW Bush warn that RFK Jr. is endangering the health of the nation, calling his policies/positions a โ€œprofound, immediate + unprecedented threatโ€
