  3. How dystopian is this image? Young kids going to school, but before they can get into their classes they need to pass through metal detectors and bag searches.

    This is the reality of the right wing obsession with guns in the US. Rather than address the root cause, they force schools & businesses to layer in technology and train kids to accept invasive searches on a daily basis. They all know guns are the cause.

  4. Sheriff Walter McNeil of #LeonCounty identified the gunman as #PhoenixIkner, 20, & said he is the son of a Leon County sheriff’s deputy.

    “Unfortunately, he had access to one of her weapons,” the sheriff said.

    Chief Revell said the gunman “invoked his right not to speak to us.”

    “He did not comply with commands & was shot,” Chief Revell said.

  5. CW: Content warning: Maine mass shooting

    "The man who killed 18 people in a mass shooting last year in Lewiston, Maine, had traumatic brain injuries that likely influenced his actions in the final months of his life, according to new analysis released Wednesday."

    @nbcnews reports: "Army reservist Robert Card, 40, carried out the shootings at a bowling alley and a bar on Oct. 25, sparking a multistate manhunt that ended when he was found dead days later by suicide."

  6. The delicate tissue sheaths that insulate each biological circuit lay in “disorganized clumps,” & throughout #RobertCard’s #brain there was scarring & inflammation suggesting repeated #trauma.

    This was not #CTE, the report said. It was a characteristic pattern of damage that has been found before in #military #veterans who were repeatedly exposed to #weapons #blasts during their service.

  7. His brain was sent to a #Veterans Affairs laboratory in Boston that is known for its pioneering work documenting chronic #traumatic #encephalopathy, or #CTE, in athletes.

    Acc/to the lab’s report, prepared on Feb 26 & updated on Wednesday, the white matter that forms the wiring deep in the #brain had “moderately severe” damage, & in some areas was missing entirely.

  8. The #gunman, #RobertCard, was a #grenade instructor in the #ArmyReserve. In 2023, after 8 yrs of being exposed to thousands of skull-shaking blasts on the training range, he began hearing #voices & was stalked by #paranoid #delusions. He grew increasingly erratic & #violent in the months before the Oct rampage in #Lewiston, in which he killed 18 people & then himself.

  9. A specialized laboratory examining the #brain of the gunman who committed #Maine’s deadliest #MassShooting found profound #BrainDamage of the kind that has been seen in #veterans exposed to repeated blasts from #weapons use.

    The lab’s findings were included in an autopsy report that was compiled by the Maine chief ME’s office & released by the #gunman’s family.

  10. Is there ANYONE who doesn't already know why a #MassShooting broke out at the #KCChiefs victory rally today?

    We KNOW it's going to lead back to some nut who took the insane RW #ConspiracyTheory about the gov't "fixing the #Superbowl" just to somehow help Joe #Biden. 🤦‍♂️

    BTW: One of the shooters was tackled by the crowd. None of these "good guys" needed a gun.

  11. We still have time in OUR towns to demand this change before we also find ourselves among the grieving and angry.

    "They’re calling for accessible mental health care, restrictions on firearms and more aggressive law enforcement action when a person with access to weapons is exhibiting psychosis."

  12. Less than 5 days ago, I wrote a letter to Rep Dingell, Sen Stabenow, & Sen Peters on the #MassShooting in Cleveland, Texas & the facts of #MassShootings, #AssaultRifles, #HighCapacityMagazines, & #GunControl. Since then there have been 17 more shootings. The avg is now 1.74/day.

    Today I sent it again for #AllenTexas. (see first letter @ facebook.com/thedavid.mfano/po)

    Now it is your turn. Contact your representatives by going to usa.gov/elected-officials

  13. Greg Olear thinks that, before Americans snicker at the preposterousness of the king's coronation, we might want to look in the mirror:

    "It’s tempting to snicker at Charles and this preposterous coronation ceremony. But what’s more harmful to a society in the 21st century, kings or guns? People in glass houses shouldn’t fire AR-15s."
