Horrific events in Davis, CA

My hometown.

I was lucky enough to have been born and raised in what used to be a delightful little town, though not like any other small town in California because of UCD.

I now live a few hours away and couldn’t help noticing how violence has seeped in over the years. This is the latest in a long series of tragedies, ones which I fear will worsen.

What is going on?? It would seem that violence now has the upper hand everywhere.

Is treated with an opportunity for anyone to carry a war machine anywhere to do whatever they want.

The greedy 1% is trying to take more away...it might get worse before it gets better, unless we gain super majority control and the presidency for 2024, then implement protections for our people and our democracy.

It’s nothing less than heartbreaking to see how far into the slime we’ve sunk.

People are learning the GOP has and will do, NOTHING for them.

We are winning and they are grabbing at tighter control, but they'll lose their grip. They always do, and have.
