Emma said NO
Parkland, Florida shooting survivor and high school senior Emma Gonzalez said in a public speech a few days after the massacre, "If the President wants to ... tell me to my face that it was a terrible tragedy ... I'm going to happily ask him how much money he received from the National Rifle Association. Thirty million dollars. And divided by the number of gunshot victims in the United States in the one and one-half months in 2018 alone, that comes out to being $5,800. Is that how much these people are worth to you, Trump?"
Furthermore, an angry Ms Gonzalez stated, "The people in the government who are voted into power are lying to us ... And us kids seem to be the only ones who notice and are prepared to call B.S." She knows what is going on and is not afraid to tell it like it is and put CORRUPT politicians on the spot.
p(Resident) Trump tweeted that the FBI failed to detect the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooter in Parkland, FL because they "are spending too much time trying to prove Russian collusion with the Trump campaign." What a crook of shit to cover his own sorry ass! The State of New York is investigating Trump’s money laundering connection with Russian organized crime syndicates, and the FBI is on the verge of proving Trump and his closest political operatives colluded with Russian intelligence agents in undermining the 2016 election. And school shootings appear to be Business As Usual because the gun lobby and the politicians they buy allow it to be so, week after week, year after year.
For reasons I can’t quite put my finger on, the Florida school murders two weeks ago anger me more than all the others. I have no particular connection with the place or the people who live there, but ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Columbine or Sandy Hook should have been enough, but maybe the angry words of Emma Gonzalez will build a fire that will get things moving in the right direction and burn down the entire reich wing legacy of the last 40 years.
Please read this petition and please sign: action.momsrising.org/sign/RejectNRApledge/?t=4&akid=... Moms Rising.org is one of the feminist groups I support. I am hoping that the anger from this latest school shooting and other bullshit perpetrated by the "conservatives" will grow in momentum and wreck their entire evil agenda, but progressives must be ready and willing to clearly state our objectives and work to achieve them.
I did not draw this political cartoon, but since I will not profit from it, my posting here constitutes FAIR USE. Addendum: I just learned that Pia Guerra is the artist.
