More news following the break:Republicans won’t do anything about guns, but they think that banning books, outlawing history, and not saying gay will keep kids safe in school.

This stunt may backfire on Beto but I hope it doesn't:The death toll continues to climb in the mass shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday, but already it is the second-deadliest shooting at an elementary, middle or high school on record in the U.S. https://t.co/lSxmgi0d56 pic.twitter.com/fl64tcQCGQ

Just how fucked up do Republicans have to be, to express more anger at Beto for calling them out, than they are over the deaths of children?

/2 Be not ashamed, bold men, I know your fear. I too have trembled at that tousled hair, that pitiless chin. Who could stand against him? Not you, you brave, brave men of Texas, standing firm in your loud but unspecific and non-actionable lamentations over dead children.

/4 And if you faltered today in the face of those carefully rolled-up sleeves, well, we are all but human, even you brave, brave men of Texas. There will be other days. There will be other dead children. You will have other chances to stand, and clasp big hats, and frown.

Just imagine if a child saw Beto yelling. It could have traumatized them.

And the more we find out about what happened at that school, the worst the police look. They spent AN HOUR dithering around outside before they tried to go in, then couldn't break down the schoolroom door and had to get a staff member to use their key. By then, of course, the children and teachers were dead.In a world full of Abbotts, be more like Beto. pic.twitter.com/oRG7gRlDNb

Onlookers yelled at them to go in. They didn’t. One parent urged bystanders:
“Let’s just rush in because the cops aren’t doing anything like they are supposed to.” @AP story: https://t.co/l2CqPCzmAf
Whether an officer fired his gun or not is known almost immediately after any shooting incident. Texas cops have been deliberately opaque about several key aspects of this whole thing https://t.co/RBNM87BR00 pic.twitter.com/m7vvI3aUCX

Utterly damning report. If the 2nd Amendment is sacred, surely Americans should *at least* be able to expect a robust and immediate armed response when their kids get attacked by well-armed freaks. https://t.co/rmIQj9H1mu

"SWAT-like" is doing a lot of work for this group of border patrol (????) folks who can't break down a classroom door. But at least they went in, I guess.

Speaking of assholes, a bunch of white supremacists in Surry turned out yesterday at a fundraising event where Trudeau was to speak in person, and started hurling racial slurs at the mostly-Asian people attending. So RCMP told Trudeau he had to switch to Zoom.What's the point of gun drills in elementary school if the shooter grows up knowing where to find the children hiding and the cops are too afraid to follow the shooters into the schools they're attacking?

This is what they showed up with:I love how they're called protesters. They're white supremacists.

Things aren't going very well for Russia and they're not winning a lot. But maybe they're stopped losing as much.It is expensive to support Ukraine, as many point out. But, oh, the cost of Russian victory would be very, very high, for all of us. If you hate war, and want a peaceful future -- support the Ukrainians to the hilt. They are on the front line. And can put paid to Putin.

More details have emerged of Russia's deployment of very old T-62 tanks in Ukraine, which I commented on in the thread below. /1 https://t.co/iQjlUF69YR

Meanwhile, Putin is hoping to convince the world that everything is proceeding according to plan:Russian forces may not be prosecuting offensives with much enthusiasm, but it is equally difficult to expect them to rout or melt away. Similarly, the situation within Ukraine's army remains a major unknown, but it is clear the war is taking its toll. 15/
— Michael Kofman (@KofmanMichael) May 25, 2022
Russia may be attempting to start a new offensive:The signs have been there but this one is glaring. Seems Putin intends to de facto annex parts of Ukraine's southern Kherson and Zaporizhia oblasts occupied by Russian forces by simplifying the procedure to obtain Russian citizenship, a process known as "passportization." https://t.co/0rD0wW2wm6
— Christopher Miller (@ChristopherJM) May 25, 2022
On a lighter note:Russia “may need to conduct a ground offensive on Sievierodonetsk in the upcoming days to maintain their pace after committing a significant portion of personnel, artillery, aviation, and logistics to the front,” the ISW wrote.
