A block from my house police are currently responding to a bomb threat at the East Lansing synagogue.

In June, the FBI discovered a young man planned to carry out a mass shooting there with “hand-made pipe bombs, molotovs, two Stag-15s, 12 guage shotgun & two back up Glock 18s & a Akm full auto conversion.” https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/2023/06/16/east-lansing-synagogue-shaarey-zedek-targeted-mass-shooting-seann-pietila/70331979007/

On Feb 13, our MSU campus experienced a mass shooting.

This isn’t normal.

Here in NE OH too. . .our governor & GOP oligarchy are 150% for guns, despite their sneaky efforts to "protect innocent life." Only "unborn children" get their attention, after birth, guns win. #Ohio https://www.cleveland19.com/2023/12/13/13-year-old-charged-after-allegedly-planning-mass-shooting-canton-synagogue/

In America, it's normal.

It is totally messed up, and it shouldn't be normal, but powerful elements of our polity have determined a little stochastic terror makes things better for them.

It’s easy to catch the stupid people like this who might just as well have put all that on a T-shirt and walked right into Wegmans wearing it. These people, that law enforcement and the FBI tout as huge successes, are by and large, not nearly smart enough to ever carry it out.

The ones that are really worrisome are those that hide their intentions every step of the way if possible.

600+ mass shooting in the US this year alone, the vast majority white supremacist, fascist origins, and how do we handle it? We pretend that looting our economy for trillions, sending it all to the Homeland and other intelligence and security systems will keep us safe, meanwhile fascists openly plot attacks against electrical grids, openly plot attacks, and somehow we cant stop it.

This all seems intentional.

Fuck, I'm so sorry, what a mess of interweaving shitty things about the US all coming together. Be safe ❤️‍🩹

I was living in Royal Oak Michigan when the first mass shooting happened at the Post Office there.
