Oh here we go, Governor of Texas going on about "mental health issues".

His Spanish isn’t the smoothest but I appreciate the effort. Also, it definitely improves as his emotions intensify.

I don't get the impression that Abbott is loved - his job approval rating is fine because the economy is fine but most people are only vaguely aware that we have a governor most of the time.

Lt Gov to Gov is a step down in Texas. Lt. Gov has more power. I've had little but contempt for Dan Patrick in my years living in TX. Sports radio personality to would be Limbaugh to state senator to the Lt. Gov. There are some parallels with Pence's trajectory. Fuck em all.

Still, Patrick would have to take the demotion if Abbott took a drive down Elm Street.

President Trump's racism does not just offend our sensibilities; it fundamentally changes the character of this country. And it leads to violence. pic.twitter.com/SbuxGneFnh— Beto O'Rourke (@BetoORourke) August 4, 2019

Another shooting in Dayton, I'm hearing as many as 10 or more dead.

White gun owners claim to arm themselves against the tyranny of the state. Yet most of them fetishize cops and the military (if they don't belong to either already). So for whom are their weapons really intended? I think the answer's pretty clear. pic.twitter.com/iexhTn1Ldb— Dennis Perrin (@DennisThePerrin) August 4, 2019

One of these days people are going to successfully flee one mass shooting only to wind up in the middle of a different one a block away.

stories of people who have survived multiple mass shootings feels pretty routine now... was just reading one the other day about a group of las vegas survivors who had gathered at the garlic festival the day of that shooting, including one woman who said it was the first time she had gone to a big crowded outdoor event since vegas

when you survive a second terrorist attack in a completely different state, I honestly don’t know how you’re even able to leave your house again. I can’t imagine how severe the ptsd must be.

Very scary right now. I think about this fairly often, more than anyone should, when I'm in movie theaters. That's been there to varying degrees since Aurora, but now you've got the copycat effect or whatever, one has to imagine the Dayton shooter felt scooped by El Paso or something- not that he wasn't prepared, but fuck me, are we going to go a week without another one?

It's also important to remember that in any average 48-hour period we generally lose at least two days. This is important data which is totally on par with random acts of mass homicide.
