Alexandria 'Alex' Bell, 15, a sophomore, was shot to death today in her classroom in St. Louis. One of nine children, Alex loved to dance and was on the Junior Dance Team at Central Visual and Performing Arts High School. She would have turned 16 in two weeks.

Jean Kuczka, 61, had taught at Central Visual and Performing Arts High School as a physical education teacher since 2008. Today she was shot to death trying to protect her students from a 19-year-old with a semiautomatic rifle and high capacity magazines: stltoday.com/news/local/cri…

Semiautomatic rifle and high-capacity magazines. Read that again.

And think about your own child being at that school.

Your wife, cousin, daughter, aunt, grandma, girlfriend, uncle, husband, friend who is a teacher.

Enough of this nonsense.

Someday, I want to see Josh Hawley receive the same type of greeting in St. Louis that Ted Cruz received in Yankee Stadium. I realize though that this would require Josh to actually show his face in St. Louis.

Ron Johnson’s company hasn’t paid any state income tax since 2013. His family’s trust fund hasn’t paid any since 2016.

Ron wants tax loopholes for the rich while working people struggle. He's the worst part of a broken system. In 15 days, we vote him out.

One reason Republicans are incentivized to attack our public schools. nytimes.com/2022/10/23/us/…

All of these pieces about how hard it is for whites to adjust to being a minority, to be surrounded by someone else's culture, their actions dictated by someone else's values.

So this is what we're standing for now?

Guns are implements of violence and death. More guns gets us more violence and death. It wasn’t hard to see where this was headed #moleg

(1) Sound up! The post in the video was taken from the campaign page of Hagin for Missouri’s Republican opponent just this month. The St Louis Police Chief said today that the extremely broad gun laws make their job more difficult.

Open carry is meant to intimidate.

A teacher just gave her life because politicians in #moleg aren't willing to risk their jobs.

Fuck you.

St Louis Chief of Police: “Missouri gun laws are very broad and very challenging to us in an urban area”
#moleg majority GOP politicians will continue to beat their chests and claim to back the blue while offering thoughts and prayers for dead kids and teachers.

Hialeah Police say it's too early to say this was politically motivated. Christopher Monzon is the man in the photos. He was called the 'Cuban Confederate' for involvement in white supremacist group League of the South. ADL says he attended 2017 rally in Charlottesville VA

The school shooting in St. Louis addressed at today’s ⁦The White House⁩ daily briefing

'[Ms.] Kuczka went in front of [the gunman] to protect the students.' Shame on all of the Missouri and U.S. leaders who have not even a shred of the human decency that Ms. Kuczka had and can't even find it within their hearts to support basic gun control. stltoday.com/news/local/cri…

St. Louis, it’s okay to not be okay right now.

You do not have to work through this trauma alone. Please, reach out and talk to someone. Here are some emergency mental health resources:
