What’s going on here is simple and straightforward.

I was my high school’s valedictorian and in Georgia, that meant being invited to a reception at the Governor’s Mansion. My family didn’t have a car, so that morning, my parents and I took the bus from DeKalb to Buckhead. We arrived at the Governor’s Mansion and walked up the side of the driveway, next to the cars carrying valedictorians from across the state.

It’s been seven years since a white supremacist stepped into a sacred space of worship for the Black community of Charleston, SC and took 9 innocent young lives.

Buffalo, New York; Uvalde, Texas; Tulsa, Oklahoma – these are just three of the mass shootings we’ve witnessed in the last [few] months.

“I’m concerned that the public has reached the ‘panic buying’ stage,” the foster mom tells PEOPLE. “Hoarding formula will only make the situation last longer — although I understand the very real fear of having a baby that you’re unable to feed.” Earlier this month, Dr. Bridget Young, a pediatrician specializing in infant nutrition, spoke to PEOPLE and urged parents to leave specialty formulas for those children who truly need them, including babies with allergies or severe digestion issues.

Senior Class President Zander Moricz was tapped with giving a commencement speech at Pine View School in Osprey, Fla., but was given a restriction not normally attached to such an event. An openly gay activist who is the youngest plaintiff in a lawsuit against a new state law that restricts what teachers can say in classes about gender and sexual orientation, the teenager said publicly that he had been warned by his principal not to mention his activism or say the word “gay.” If he did, Moricz said on social media, his microphone would be cut off.

Yet it is right-wing Christian lawmakers who are to blame for letting the violence continue, along with the right-wing pastors and televangelists who prop them up. Taking God’s name in vain doesn’t look like screaming “goddammit” when a child dies.

Greg Abbott said the state needed to focus on mental health and not restricting gun ownership to prevent future mass shootings like the one that happened at Robb Elementary School.

They weren’t going in there or running anywhere.”
