The last time families who were devastated by gun violence were in the Rose Garden, it was because Congress failed to act.

GA State Rep. Park Cannon:
“Voting Rights Advocates Rally To Overcome GOP Vote Suppression”
“Georgia State Representative Park Cannon discusses her arrest while Brian Kemp was signing Georgia’s new voter suppression law, and the national movement to overcome Republican anti-democracy tactics.”
President Joe Biden announces executive orders to curb gun violence.
“Gun violence in this country is an epidemic, and itâs an international embarrassment.”
Remarks by President Biden on Gun Violence Prevention:
“Every day in this country, 316 people are shot. Every single day.
A hundred and six of them die every day. Our flag was still flying at half-staff for the victims of the horrific murder of 8 primarily Asian American people in Georgia when 10 more lives were taken in a mass murder in Colorado.
You probably didnât hear it, but between those two incidents, less than one week apart,
there were more than 850 additional shootings â 850 â
that took the lives of more than 250 people, and left 500 â 500 â injured.
This is an epidemic, for Godâs sake. And it has to stop.
So Iâm here to talk about two things: first, the steps weâre going to take immediately, and, second, the action that needs to be taken going forward to curb the epidemic of gun violence. I asked the Attorney General and his team to identify for me immediate, concrete actions I could can take now without having to go through the Congress.
And today, Iâm announcing several initial steps my administration is taking to curb this epidemic of gun violence.”
Cedric Richmond, senior advisor to President Biden:
“talks to Wallace about how the popularity of additional gun safety measures, even among Republican voters, is motivating Biden and Democrats to act even as elected Republicans stand in the way.”
President Biden:
“Enough prayers. Time for some action.”
Explaining in terms we can all understand:
Dr Martin Tobin, pulmonologist, described as “the supreme scholar of critical care medicine” (ATS)
at the Chauvin Trial, yesterday.
The Lancet described Dr. Tobin’s textbook:
‘Principles And Practice of Mechanical Ventilation’ as the “Bible” of the field of mechanical ventilation.”
(Plus “7 extraordinary books” on the topic.)
This soft spoken man blew a few pop stands yesterday to say the least.
Dr. Tobin at the Chauvin trial yesterday.
(Excerpts)
Blackwell: “How long can the brain go without oxygen?”
Tobin: “That`s well worked out. If you stop the flow of oxygen to the brain, you lose consciousness in 8 seconds.”
Tobin: “So, it tells you how dangerous this is the concept of, if you can breathe or if you can speak, you can breathe. Yes, that is true, on the surface, but highly misleading. Very, a very dangerous mantra out there.
The cause of death is a low level of oxygen that caused the brain damage and caused the heart to stop.”
Tobin: “You can see his eyes, he`s conscious. And then you see that he isn`t. That`s the moment the life goes out of his body.”
Tobin: “A healthy person subjected to what Mr. Floyd was subjected to
would have died as a result of what he was subjected to.”
“Dr. Tobin testified that nothing in George Floyd`s medical history contributed to his death and nothing in George Floyd`s history of drug use, including small traces of drugs found in his system contributed to his death. Dr. Tobin testified that the police officer`s weight holding down George Floyd essentially shut down his left lung.” (Lawrence O’Donnell)
Tobin:
“Because of the knee that was rammed in against the left side of his chest, sometimes the knee was down on the arm or in against the chest, so this would have the same effects of basically on the left side of his lung, it was almost like a surgical pneumonectomy,
which is almost to the effect if a surgeon had gone in and removed the lung.”
Tobin:
“When he last take a breath, the knee remains on the neck for another three minutes and 27 seconds after he takes his last breath. There is the knee remains after there is no pulse, the knee remains on the neck for another two minutes and 44 seconds after the officers have found themselves, there`s no pulse, the knee remains on the neck another two minutes 44 seconds.”

The president is right: the continuing epidemic of gun violence in America is an international embarrassment, and it's within our power to end it.https://t.co/VcsWDILs7V
Seeing that it is not serious in his case – if his recovery only involves 10 days of quarantining , it won’t matter. He might just dismiss it as the flu and continue being an uncaring idiot.
So, he does not care for the mask, but yet got himself vaccinated. Hmmm.

I do think we urgently need to find a middle ground between 1) loudly elevating and amplifying the Trumps and Tuckers of this world and giving them the attention they crave, and 2) pretending that if we ignore them, they'll go away and/or won't harm the rest of us.
