I don’t really know how to post my usual, sustainability-related content when seemingly every day, I wake up to more news of gun violence, including both mass shootings and the state-sanctioned murder of black people at the hands of police. This time, 8 people were killed in the city I call home. A country in which events like this happen all the time is a country in which the rule of law is fundamentally flawed. And yet conservatives are more concerned with preventing people from exercising their constitutional right to vote than they are with preventing senseless violence and the deaths of innocent people.
