Be careful not to misunderstand the hundreds of school shootings reported by various databases. Almost 90% of these incidents are AT school, not IN school, that is, on school grounds. Many occur at night, on weekends, during summer, and do not involve students. Many do not.

Notwithstanding the tragedy this morning at a Minneapolis catholic school, mass shootings with 4+ killed or injured are down 24% this year over last, and this is after a 24% decline last year over the previous, according to Gun Violence Archive data. @GunViolence.

Trump ssid yesterday that Putin wants peace. Not exactly…he wants a piece of Ukraine.

Last Saturday, July 5, had 13 mass shootings (4+ shot, either injured or killed, based on the Gun Violence Archive data). It is likely that many involved July 4th gatherings that spilled past midnight. This is the second most of any date since January 2013. The only date with.

The @AP @USATODAY @Northeastern Mass Killing Database includes four intentional and indiscriminate vehicle rammings with 4+ killed since 2006.

Of the 83 school shootings for 2024 in the CNN database, 4 involved fatalities to k-12 students inside the school building. A total of 9 victims killed, of whom 5 were students. Out of 50 million students. That’s 1 in 10 million. Schools ARE safe.

Good observation about the #NewEnglandPatriots by @BenVolin of the @BostonGlobe: . “The Week 1 win at the Bengals was the most surprising of the season. The Week 8 win at home against the Jets was the most cathartic. Sunday’s win over the Bears was the most satisfying.”.

The #Trump campaign keeps running an ad that says “violent crime is rising.” That is so contrary to the fact that violent crime is declining. Do people believe such falsehoods just because they are repeated over and over again? #Harris_Walz2024.

#Trump would put #RFKJr in charge of HHS,vCDC, and FDA. Really?! The only credential for a job in the Trump administration is loyalty?.

Do you agree the #ElectoralCollege vote for each state should be proportional to its population? It’s not now and the fix is easy. Take two from every state. Opinion: Electoral College flawed? So is the National Popular Vote. There's another way. via.

#Trump statements about #Jewish voters are disgraceful (“those voting for #Harris should have their heads examined”) and dangerous (if he loses, “Jews will be partially to blame”). Way to encourage #Antisemitism, Donald, making America hate again.

School shootings are tragic and rare What’s causing the high level of fear well out of proportion with the risk? It is due at least in part to the alarming figures on the prevalence of school shootings — statistics that are often mischaracterized and easily misunderstood.

That 9 out of 10 school shootings involving casualties happen on school grounds — at school but not in school — is especially noteworthy. The overwhelming majority of the frightening tally of school shootings has no relevance to most of the security measures that parents and.

Really? Imagine if he were president and ordered the FCC to punish ABC.

Last night’s #debate gave new meaning to the term “dog whistle.”.
