He didn't set his gallery up like the person above did so there are several tweets.

If this continues - and right now it shows absolutely no sign of slowing down... quite the contrary - in about 2 years, U.S. flags will have to be permanently flown at half staff, because every day will be the anniversary of a mass killing...

"The land of the free."
Not quite, huh?

The half mast thing is as empty as thoughts and prayers.

I'm posting this here because it relates to the recent discussion about mass killings, and it is just as much about the U.S. as it is about the Philippines...

Here's a snippet from the article linked to below...
"Narag says the strong ties of Philippine kinship mean troubled individuals are more likely to be identified before they become mass shooters. He contrasts that with the situation in the U.S., where he presently lives and teaches.

“Here (the U.S.), if you have problems, you have to go to a health professional,” he tells TIME. “You’ll divulge everything there. You don’t talk to your neighbors - sometimes you don’t talk to your own parents - because [there isn’t] an engaged culture where one’s problem is everyone’s problem.”

Why the Philippines Has Few Mass Shootings Despite Easy Access to Guns...

Yes, and your economy has re-activated, meaning you need more of the stuff.
I don't understand the context of the tweet. Is that GOOD or BAD? Or, as he says, just a fact to bring up.

It's a response to all the RW wingnuts who are constantly complaining about gas prices (e.g., a guy on Twitter who earlier today posted something like "What I remember most about January 6 was that I was able to buy a tank of gas for $30) and blaming Biden for not doing more domestic drilling to bring gas prices down. Assuming those numbers are true, then that tanks (sorry, no pun intended) the criticism of Biden on that front.

That said, I'm not wild about the fact if those numbers are true.
