I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.

RFK Jr on the mass shooting in Minnesota: "We're launching studies on the potential contribution of some of the SSRI drugs and some of the other psychiatric drugs that might be contributing to violence."

There are 400 million guns in this country. More guns than people. In America, we are ten times more likely to be shot in a school or playground than any other developed nation.

I’m sorry this possibly preventable tragedy is being used by a peddler of false information to further an attack on all of us. These are lifesaving meds to many with biological underpinnings of a serious illness. #FireRFK #ItsTheGuns 🟧

Senator, I am proud to have you represent me. But fired is too little. He’s violated his oath of office and should be treated as the traitor he is. This government is what we get when acts like January 6th aren’t punished. Hanging those who violate the oath means it’s not just words.

The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act of 2022 - passed after #Uvalde - provided at least $180 million in grants for community violence intervention & $1 billion to support mental health in schools, BUT Donald Trump had those funds rescinded - @krisbrown.bradyunited.org. #Minneapolis #EndGunViolence

democracynow.org2 Children Killed in Minneapolis School Shooting as Trump Rolls Back Gun Safety Regs“Firearms are the number one killer of our kids in America. That’s a uniquely American problem.” Two children, aged 8 and 10, were killed Wednesday when a former student fired dozens of shots through ...

Every mass shooting is followed by more guns being purchased. Every mass shooting should be followed by naming every #GQP that works for #NRA. Remind voters that a vote for #GQP is a vote for mass shootings.

No RandiWeingarten...F a "national conversation". That conversation has been had and has failed. They chose guns...Say it...They chose guns over kids....The blame belongs to them and should not be the responsibility of our underpaid teachers.

The version of freedom and health and safety that RFK Jr is peddling is full of bad casuistry and distortions I hope Senate Ds make the point loud and clear next week that RFK Jr + Trump have no feeling for our freedoms or well-being Nobody is forced to take mRNA vaccines, cutting access is ugly

.. they are consuming different sources of information than you. Remember that fact, internalize it, and use it. They have not sat down, watched CNN for 6 hours, and then said "I like the fascism and grift! He's my guy!" They watched Fox, where he's simply not a fascist or a grifter.

If we had a functioning Congress, RFK Jr would NOT have been confirmed. They knew the quackery he would push on the US when they confirmed his appointment. But they didn't care enough about us to reject him. They have the resources to protect the health of their own families, we don't.

RFK Jr is so obviously trying to divert attention away from the NRA and the ease of gun ownership - and possibly away from US big tech social media influencers manipulating people online. He’s a piece of mendacious crap from head to toe. He should be out on his ear, but his boss is even worse!

RFK, Jr. is sick, and intent on harm. His father, Robert F. Kennedy, was a good man who would have become President before he was shot after he won the CA Primary. His father’s assassin remains locked up in San Quentin Prison. He should never get out. CA Governor Newsom denied him parole, again.

RFK Jr. is a piece of shit, but of all people who should shoulder the blame of him being pushed through the nomination process, Bill Cassidy knew better. As furious as I am with RFK, I am equally so with Cassidy.

And I'm furious with every Republican in the Senate. They had a chance to say no to this guy but they were too afraid of Donald Trump to do anything. They're all a bunch of freaking cowards

He's a moron. GUNS KILL PEOPLE & THE UNFIT ASSHOLES ALLOWED TO BUY THEM! Not SSRI's, or antipsychotics, you dumb fucking spunktrumpet! For godssake,put that man in a psychiatric ward ‘cos he is unhinged! Unfit, unqualified & unintelligent & UNABLE to do his job. Get rid of him immediately! Asshole!

Kennedy is in love with death. And death loves him back. It’s a fruitful union….

Decoy Flight Attendant@jw1958.bsky.social

I actually think he’s a genuine necrophiliac. He’s always loved being surrounded by death - encouraging family and friends to use, and die, from heroin addiction. Creating suicidal thoughts in his ‘inconvenient’ spouse. The fanatical pursuit of anti-health measures….

He’s a charlatan, uneducated in medical science dealing only in rumor & belief. Nothing he said is based in reproducible facts/findings founded in sound statistical analysis & medical science. He must be fired. Lives depend upon it. REMOVE RFK Jr

Other developed nations have everything we have including antidepressants and individuals transitioning and they don’t have the perpetual cycle of mass shootings we do. Follow the data and the one huge data point that distinguishes this country from others is the sheer number of guns. It’s the guns!

Exactly, This 💩 Kennedy jr, idiot has no idea trying to gaslight Americans that drugs and medication cause mass shootings he should be fired as he spits out propaganda, he is already killing Americans because of his lack of knowledge —and we are still faced with ‘it’s the guns’!🤬

I would like to see them actually take action to make it happen, specially by introducing articles of impeachment. I get that republicans will likely shut it down, but make them spend the time to defend these clowns on the record as opposed to spending that time trying to implement their “policies”

That's just it...I think he would go to them with all the unfounded confidence of a "super ultracrepidarian" and say all of that nonsense to their faces with absolutely no insight or shame. We are so screwed.

He's beef jerky in suit. A poster-child for nepotism. This deranged addict needs to go back to falconry, animal abuse, and fancy steak dinners. He can pollute himself all he wants. I'm tired of seeing his red face in the news as a reminder of how easy it is to fail up in the GOP. It's a disgrace.

More of this. Do not let them rest. Go on offense, stay on offense. The old rules do not apply. The old ways will not suffice. The federal government is laying siege to the American people. Those of you with platforms and power are obligated to defend our liberties & lives.

the deadliest danger now confronting humanity is the "scapegoat" psychology associated with the old ethic. We are in the grip of this psychology when we project our own dark shadow onto an individual or group identified as our "enemy," failing to see it inourselves. sites.google.com/view/somnus/...

Right? When they say "guns aren't the problem, PEOPLE are" I'm always like "so . . . . why do you want to give the problem GUNS?" Places with stricter gun control DO have stabbing problems sometimes, it's true. But nobody's taking out a whole classroom with just a knife. Make murder less deadly!

Yep. Mental illness occurs everywhere. SSRI antidepressants are taken the world over (including by yourself truly). These shootings ONLY happen with regularity in the U.S. GOSH, I WONDER WHY...

Dear Senator Smith, I am a 74 year old woman who was on those meds for years. From my experiences, I think the connection between antidepressants and gun violence should at least be looked into. Maybe someone would be interested in talking to me? I have real experiences with those drugs.

I'm also not a fan of RFK. I'm not a fan of Trump. I'm a lifelong hippie and Democrat. I have just wondered if there is a connection between those drugs and the shootings since Sandy Hook.

I have been off all meds since 2008. I never had urges to shoot anyone, but at times when I'd run out, or they would switch them. I'd feel so bad I did think about doing myself in. I was not young, but I could imagine a young person going through all that might. It might be worth looking into.

And this isn't even about the horrific restrictions this psychopath just put on COVID vaccines. Bernie is trying to get this asshat in front of the Senate. Help him make that happen. We want justice. We are sick and tired of do nothing democrats and I know you're not one so please.

What's putting in front of the Senate going to do? He's just going to go there sit in front of everybody and being embarrassed. And when the hearing is over he's going to go right back to work and screw everything up. Somebody has to start articles of impeachment on him.

I can’t even begin to think about a world where the federal government takes away people’s medication. There is an endless stream of very bad things that will happen. I try to keep this one far back because I just don’t know what I would do. And there are so many who need them to function.

Yes, he should. So should the person who appointed him. I'm heartbroken for your community, as I am still heartbroken for Uvalde (which is physically and historically closer to me) and every other school that has been ravaged by gun violence. It's the guns, and the culture that makes killing

seem like a "solution" to problems. I am convinced that the much greater per capita number of guns available...the kinds of guns available, and the social climate that valorizes gun ownership and targeting humans is largely responsible for mass shootings.

I have never understood why NRA top brass don't immediately go to the scene of mass shootings, so they can reassure the families of the victims that the shooter had a legal right to own and possess the weapons used. Oh. Wait.

I know it's going to sound kind of cruel but I think they should take high definition pictures of all of these sites where kids are killed. I want people to see the blood on the floors. Just talking about it won't give you a good picture. Let people see the Carnage

Who is going to be the Republican hero? At some point they are going to have to realize Trump will throw them under the bus the minute he sees fit. He doesn’t care about anyone, Republicans are failing us. They care kore about party line than us. Look how they spoke about the IA win.

He has indicated that anti-depressants are on their hit list. Another attempt to ignore the fact that easy access to guns IS the problem. As someone who is alive because of antidepressants. this fucker can go to hell

Every mass shooting reminds me of the Shasta kidnapping in Corte dAlene ID. Man walked in with a hammer, tied up & beat to death two adults and one teen. Kidnapped two small children. When police arrived they all commented it wasn't robbery because their ARESONAL of weapons wasn't touched.

Oh my god. The rotten son of a bitch. Many kids need antidepressants these days just to get through adolescence at a time when so much darkness surrounds them, when government and schools are actively betraying them. This POS is targeting their lifeline as a key initiative. And vaccines.

This may be crass but, there are SEVERAL obituaries I am really looking forward to reading. Depends on the complete assininity of the day as to who's I hope to see first. The brain worm likely died from an od. Or maybe starvation. Most likely starvation.

These people have wives and husbands and children who are just as shitty, or potentially as shitty as them. And they go home everyday and this family can not and does not relate or have empathy for others around them - they destroy us and go home and watch TV. It's psychotic.
