I went to sleep Saturday night with El Paso on my heart, only to wake up to the news about Dayton. As with those in El Paso, the victims in Dayton were targeted. No accident -the target place of choice. And, even though law enforcement were able to get into the scene of the massacre in under a minute…that is all it took to take NINE INNOCENT LIVES.
WHY does this even exist?😠😠😠

19 out of 20 murderers have no mental illness diagnosis.
4 out of 5 mass shooters have no mental illness diagnosis, and half showed no signs on a prior, undiagnosed illness.
Framing this as just a mental illness problem is a gun industry trope. Period. Stop.

This is Monica Storey Brickhouse.
Just 39, she was killed in the #DaytonOhioShooting. She was a mother and a native of Springfield, OH who ran an event planning business called Two Good Girls. She was out with friend Nicole Warren-Curtis who was also gunned down. #DaytonStrong pic.twitter.com/2BWqpFG2tg

This is Lois Oglesby.

This is Thomas McNichols – one of the victims of the #DaytonOhioShooting.
He was a father of 4 kids ages 2-8, and considered a ‘gentle giant’ among family members. Thomas worked at a factory on Saturday night before being gunned down. #DaytonStrong https://t.co/I6oEV6Ln5l

2/3 of the victims in the #DaytonShooting were African American. This horrendous mass shooting must also be viewed as a potential racially-motivated hate crime. https://t.co/IOhqzSyDHM

White male swinging dicks. Those are dick extensions.
Heads up, people. If you go out to eat, shopping, church, attend an event with your family, y’all better have a plan just in case chaos breaks out. We’re not safe anywhere. Always be vigilant.
Let’s be clear:
The victims in El Paso and Dayton were targeted for THEIR EXISTENCE.
Nothing else.
Just for BEING

I have degrees in history, and it pisses me off that few of those denigrating Mexicans living in America today don’t know that white Americans took/stole Mexico’s land in what is now the U.S. California, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona belonged to Mexico before the first European entered those areas due to a fraudulent belief in ”manifest destiny.”

Why would Trump — or his aides — be deleting his tweets that refer to immigrants as ‘invaders” if they have nothing to be guilty about?
And do they seriously think there aren’t records, screen caps of all of his tweets of the past? https://twitter.com/MSignorile/status/1158036881969491973?s=17

Elizabeth Warren was asked on MSNBC 2 hrs ago if she agreed with Kamala Harris’ Executive Action Plan.
She said she had to do research.
Now she is on CNN suddenly with a plan that is Harris’ plan, the one difference being she said she would do it on Day 1.
She stole her plan. https://twitter.com/lynnv378/status/1158207392208887810?s=17
