Local news says "at least one injured" and it's been cleared for parents to pick up their kids. No other details yet. This is in Barrow Co for anyone wondering.

Unfortunately nothing says "it's the start of a new school year in America" quite like a school shooting. Makes me anxious that I just sent my kids to school today.

This is not far from me. At least one person was life flighted out. They are just saying it is an active shooter situation.
A bunch of kids are on the football field waiting for parents to pick them up & as you can imagine, it’s a huge traffic jam. A big group of kids made a prayer circle on the field
They just reported there are casualties but they don’t know how many and a suspect is in custody.

Cue the calls to arm teachers. Our country is insane.
My best thoughts going out to the families of those killed or injured. But since thoughts and prayers don't actually change anything, the best thing I/we can do for those families is to VOTE in November.

MSNBC is saying at least 2 killed & 4 injured. I'm so sick of this.
At least two families sent their kids off to school today expecting them to come home this afternoon. Now their lives are forever changed; they'll never be the same. And yet, nothing will change and everything will stay the same.

I consider myself pretty progressive, but she's more so than me. The young people, at least that I know, understand the assignment.

Just now.. The Recount… ”We're not releasing any information as far as injuries but we have multiple injuries...

This is my nephew's district and very close to BIL and SIL's house. He's locked down at home and SIL is in lock down at her school (she's a sped teacher). this needs to stop.
and yes, we set up our newly minted voter (she turned 18 in April) with her absentee ballot before she left for school. Mailed mine in too, but that's only because I refuse to stand in line for hours to vote.
EFC- we mailed off our request for absentee ballot. should get the ballot itself sometime next month.

A Georgia father speaks.. The father of a school shooting victim blasted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and other Republicans for "praying today instead of reacting."After a school shooting in Georgia on Wednesday, Scripps News correspondent Nathaniel Reed reported that Greene had issued a statement asking people to "join me in prayer for all students, staff, and families at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia." www.rawstory.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-school-shooting/

See I had originally listed some of the normal responses after my last sentence but then erased them. But that particular one I had forgotten or blocked out not sure which. I erased the list because it seemed insensitive or something that I can’t quite put words to. Just watch the next week and the same old responses will roll out from the GOP. At this point, I think we could all play $20,000 pyramid with GOP responses to a school shooting as the blocks you need to guess and win getting all 7 answers because it’s nearly always the same responses. Not sure pantomime would even be needed And that’s just overwhelmingly sad.

The crazy, sick, and twisted thing about this is...
It is easier to ban cell phones from kids hands that is a life line in situations like this than it is to ban weapons from their hands that takes that lifeline away.
Ban the fucking weapons. Ban. The. Guns. Not the fucking phone.

Please parents of the oldest Gen Z generation, please encourage them to register to vote and to vote early. On it. Those kids have been doing active shooter drills since they were in elementary school. I have a young cousin who’s finally old enough to vote and just this weekend while he was at my house I was urging him to make sure his parents send him his ballot. He told me “I didn’t register that’s when they pull you for jury duty.” Before I went in on him about THAT civic duty I made sure he knew he’d still get a notice since he had a drivers license. I’m doing my best. My kid is only 3, I want a better world for him.

The. Guns. Not the fucking phone. I agree with banning the weapons, but also am not against phones being banned or at least not available during school hours. Not only do they interfere with learning, I think it would result in less bullying and inappropriate behavior. But I do understand that in situations like this they can be helpful.
