:: In a dystopian future, not as unfamiliar as it ought to be, the Brazil Internet Mail-order Corporation gives all employees regular personality tests. An algorithm analyzes video of the face as you see various images. 
With yet another mass shooting sending fear through the workers, bosses decide some will need to learn to use a gun. (This extra duty comes with a 10k pay bonus.)
The personality tests will ensure only the most stable & rational fork lift operators get holstered.

Our protagonist is selected for this “honor” (one she can ill afford to turn down) As she is scanned daily for mental equanimity all while spending the mandatory 15 min practice time shooting imaginary killers she wonders why she was selected. 
Firearm training progresses to virtual drills that take advantage of her company-sponsored augmented eyes. (the pay at Brazil is terrible but at least you’ll get a decent set of peepers) 
She learns to constantly scan the room for threats.

The active shooter drills can happen at any moment. She finds the way she sees her coworkers changing.”is that an umbrella or—?”
As nightmares invade her daydreams she is confused that the personality test shows no change. 
But something else is going on at work— union talk. To her surprise (and desperately concealed horror) new active shooter exercises start to feature “uprising scenarios” — and then she discovers the real criteria to qualify for the “safety program”

Zero union history. Only those who have never attended a meeting have been armed and trained. The “personality tests” are only a mirage. The company can’t predict if a person is good or evil by scanning their face. They just need everyone to believe that they can. 
Our protagonist has always liked the union, but just lacked the time to get involved. She decides to find a way to warn them. A more difficult task, given her belated realization that her high-tech augmented eyes are spying on her.

Some fucking psychopath saw the story about a six year old shooting his teacher and was trying to “inform me” that children in New Mexico are being “trained” to carry out school shootings in America, based on how many minority students of that district are there.`

Because of course gun nuts are going to go straight to racism every chance they get.

And course they’re going to ignore the fact that most mass shooters in America are white and have been born in America. (Y’know, because that’s how statistics works.) The one time the child could be Hispanic they’re going to jump on it.

People were calling for a total ban of immigrants crossing the border (specifically the brown ones) as soon as they found out that the Uvalde shooter from North Dakota has a Hispanic-sounding last name.

All gun nuts really are are bigots who hopes to have the opportunity to kill people and call it “self defense.”

Edit: I guess I misread what they were saying. I was thinking that they were saying a new Mexico compound, like it’s been recently made. Not that people are training children to commit school shootings in New Mexico, the state.

Just five months after the Robb Elementary School school shooting in Uvalde, the worst school shooting in Texas history, the pro-gun Gov. Greg Abbott won the race to keep his post by a landslide.

Critics slammed Abbott following the shooting on May 24, criticizing the Governor for blaming the shooting — which killed 19 children — on gang violence and mental-health concerns of the shooter.

Beto O'Rourke, who challenged Abbott in the race, ran on a mandate to raise the minimum age to purchase an AR-15-style rifle. Many of the families directly impacted by the shooting hoped he'd be the next Governor of Texas.

He'd previously accused Abbott of inaction following the Uvalde shooting, saying, "You are doing nothing. You are offering us nothing. You said this was not predictable. This is totally predictable when you choose not to do anything."

Indeed, in June 2021, Abbott signed a law allowing people to carry handguns without licenses.

"Texas will always be the leader in defending the Second Amendment, which is why we built a barrier around gun rights this session," he said at the time.

The families sat at a Uvalde bar and grill on election night for a results party, eagerly awaiting the election news, according to the Texas Tribune. But when news outlets announced that Abbott had won big and retained his support in Uvalde County, with more than 60% of voters backing the Republican, disappointment descended on the party, the Texas Tribune reported.

"Unfortunately, 21 people dead doesn't change people's minds," Jazmin Cazares, 17, whose 9-year-old sister, Jacklyn, was killed at the Robb Elementary school shooting, said, the outlet reported.

Veronica Mata, a kindergarten teacher, chimed in, "Everybody has the right to vote for whoever they want, we just hoped that they would see where we were coming from and see what we wanted to change."

Berlinda Arreola, a grandmother of 10-year-old Amerie Jo Garza, who was killed in the shooting, said, "The only thing that is going to change people's minds is when it happens to them."

THE FIGHT GOES ON

John Lira, the Democratic candidate who lost his challenge against Rep. Tony Gonzales for a Texas congressional seat, joined the families at the watch party.

According to the Tribune, he described O'Rouke's loss and Abbott's win, as "crushing" but said, "it just means that the fight goes on."

"This community, these families, they fought their ass off for change, for a new vision, for somebody that will listen to them and be responsive to them and what happened to this community," he added.

Writing on Twitter, Kimberly Garcia, the mother of Amerie Jo Garza, said, "one thing is for sure, I will NEVER stop fighting for my children and yours."

I'm unsure of the watermark in this image because I feel like it ruined the sleek design I made with this one. I figured I need to build my following more so it watermarking and advertising is important but if I get more followers I may release it without one.

What the fuck is wrong with the SCOTUS? Shame on them 😡

So if 1 possibly trans mass shooter makes every trans person just as dangerous, then having nearly 3,000 cis mass shooters within five years would make cis people almost 3,000 times more dangerous than trans people.

‘Sorry. I don’t make the rules. If you don’t like it, you can bring it up to the people who made them.
