Oof. Parkinson's is rough. I hope she has a good medical team behind her.

Just needing a place to vent: there was a fatal shooting at a nearby Dunkin Donuts - found the woman dead with bullet holes in her car and her eleven year old son in the car (uninjured). The boy goes to my daughter's school. I am heartbroken for him and angry and terrified for this world that my daughter is growing up in.
It occurs to me that we could probably have a gun violence thread for how regularly we are all now connected to it. It's all so fucked up.

Another mass shooting in DC this afternoon outside a funeral home (not clear if connected).
Everything in my news feed is guns.

I was admittedly rather unplugged for the better part of the last week, but I'm really confused on the intelligence leak about Ukraine. It seems like we don't know who was leaking them? Is this a new Snowden? I'm very WTF about it all.

My kids' school had a SM threat last night that was investigated and deemed to be not credible. They're being extra vigilant today, but what the fuck to this whole thing being the norm now?!? It makes me sick to my stomach.

This came up in my news feed today. I had copied the link to come share then never made it that far. They're pretty hilarious and well done. Apparently they're AI generated which is fantastic!

Louisville is doing a long presser right now showing various videos from the bank shooting. It's a whole fucking lot.

My DD’s school had an evacuation today due to a fire. Everyone/thing is fine. She texted me to let me know what was going on and that she was ok, so I wouldn’t worry if I got a safety alert from the school(her words). When the school text came through, i immediately saw “the words “evacuation,” “emergency personnel on the scene” first. My heart dropped, even though I knew she was safe. And I realized that more than any other reason, I’m glad we got her a cell phone so I can be in touch with her in case something happens at school. School! The last place we should be worried about our kids’ safety. My tween should not have to be texting her parents to let them know she’s safe at school. But it’s just another day in America.

Schumer needs to remove Feinstein from Judiciary, appoint a Dem member to fill her seat, and get things moving again.

Ugh. The Feinstein thing is upsetting. I feel like she is very unwell and it’s being hidden from us. I don’t begrudge her her privacy but you do give up a certain amount of privacy with such a public position. I don’t feel great about this as her constituent. I hope the right conversations are being had. She needs to take care of herself and the state needs a leader. Come through Newsom.
So many feelings.

And what’s weird is it feels like our media has a gag order. I’ve heard zilch about her since she was released from the hospital. And I watch and read a lot of local news.

MH and I had a bit of a disagreement over what MoC owe the public when ill after Mitch fell. He feels pretty strongly on the right to privacy, but personally I think public servents owe their employers (ie the public) *some* information. I don't need ALL the details, but you can't just not show up to work for months and expect to keep your job

Certain things require disclosure.

Certain things require disclosure. All of this. We need age limits and term limits. Normally, people don't work in their 70s, 80s, 90s. There's an age minimum for presidency. There should be age maximums for presidents/VP and MOC/Senate. It does nobody any good when congressional members are working well beyond their years of health and job fitness.

Schools all over the state of Illinois had reports of active shooters called in to the local police departments at the same time. The school I teach at was included. We were in lock down, police surrounded the building, searched, nothing was found.
