Shane Tamura, the 27yo alleged gunman in the Manhattan mass shooting event had documented mental health issues AND a concealed firearms permit. There are major flaws in the US mental healthcare system AND its gun licensing system. And nothing will change while the NRA owns Congress. #USPolitics

Not funny, but true: All tyrants eventually fall. But after that happens, the people and institutions that bowed down to them will never regain their reputations.

This is what you voted for⁉️ Detainees treated like violent criminals. Moved from cage to cage at 3 a.m. and sleep-deprived. Only 3 minutes to eat. Bathrooms three times a week. No towel to dry off after a shower and growing fungus on their bodies. Listen to this once. Then listen to it again.
