And another day where Generation Lockdown has to deal with yet another school shooting, this one the 16th of the year (and in just 20 weeks, too!), comes to a deadly close:

Ten dead. Ten wounded.

“I’ve always kind of felt like it was eventually going to happen here, too.” -- Paige Curry, Santa Fe High School student

Which means our society has failed our youth.

VP Pence addresses deadly shooting at Texas high school: "We say to the students, the families, the teachers of Santa Fe high school and all of those affected in the entire community: We're with you." No you’re not. Meaningless words that mean bullshit because you don’t actually do anything except say “We’re with you” or you’re sending “thoughts and prayers.” Your inaction speaks volumes of what you really think about ordinary Americans. They mean nothing to you.

2018 has been deadlier for schoolchildren than service members. Think about that.

Remember, “praying” is not going to bring back those kids.

Ted Cruz is a horrible person. Just had to get that out there. Yeah, I know I went out on a limb there.

Texas Lt. Governor suggests having 'too many entrances' to schools makes shootings worse. Anything--absolutely anything--to keep from discussing gun control.

America just hit a grim milestone. Today’s Santa Fe High School shooting was at least the 100th mass shooting in the US since 1982.

Georgia police: 2 people shot, 1 dead near high school graduation.

Reports: FBI's informant talked to multiple Trump campaign aides.

House Farm Bill Fails As Conservatives Revolt Over Immigration.

Trump urged U.S. Postal Service to double package rates for Amazon.

The new Trump plan to defund Planned Parenthood, explained. People wanting to defund Planned Parenthood are not “pro-life” people.

NASA Administrator Changes His Mind And Now Agrees Humans Are Causing Climate Change. The former Representative from Oklahoma didn’t exactly say that humans are the main drivers of climate change, but saying they contribute “in a major way” shows he at least acknowledges the science backing climate change. That took less than a month.

A Third Of The World's Protected Areas Are Being Destroyed By Humans.

“It’s shortsighted not to view the education of a future generation of Americans as a priority for all Americans.” -- Mel Martinez

Life’s short. Live, love, create, and help others.

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
