Such sadness. Such loss. So needless. So prevalent. How can we break the cycle of gun violence? Why is this allowed to be accepted? There are so many answers to that last question. None of them are acceptable.

I'm 2 degrees from Eleanor Roosevelt, And 3 degrees from FDR
I met Pat Moynihan in 1978. He was at a local fundraiser in Auburn, NY at Riordans Restaurant. He sat next to me on a bench and spoke to me (at 12 yo) for nearly 5 minutes. He was so kind. A truly great Senator.
Anyhow, here's Pat with Eleanor Roosevelt in 1961 or 1962:
This didn't occur to me until I was today years old.

SPRING VALLEY, N.Y. Dozens of firefighters responded when a large fire ripped through an assisted living facility in Rockland County early Tuesday.
Firefighters told PIX11 the fire broke out just after 1 a.m. at the Evergreen Court Home for Adults, located at 65 Lafayette St. in Spring Valley.
PIX arrived on the scene just before 4 a.m. as flames were still shooting from throughout the large facility, which contains around 200 beds.
Video from overnight showed a portion of the structure collapsing amid the inferno.
Firefighters said they helped evacuate a number of residents from facility and brought them to safe locations.
Video showed at least one person being taken from the scene on a stretcher but it was not immediately clear if there were any serious injuries or how many people may have been injured.

Sorry for the salty language, but when that message was scribbled inside a box of .50 cal rounds 77 years ago, we were a nation at war. The demil furnace crew found the message while destroying rounds from #WWII. We are eager to see what else they find. #greatestgeneration

Good luck coming for Gen X- every last one of them can fight. They put them into training at age 2, handed them the keys to the house at age 4 and had them cooking by 7 and with neighborhood jobs at 9.

Everyone over the age of 42 got some sort of story that starts with them fixing breakfast for school and ends with some wire like shit going down. They were escaping kidnappings, taking 5 subways solo at age 7. Like yall we (im xennial) soft. These people built for survival.

After the Jan. 6 riot, some Democrats say they simply can't work with anyone who voted against certifying the election.

An important and necessary line to draw.
Hopefully, the constituents of those who failed to certify the election (despite ample evidence to the contrary) will toss their lawmakers over the transom in their subsequent election cycles.
ENOUGH with this nonsense.👎
