Breslin Will Get No Easter Basket This Year

The Roman Catholic church in our precincts is under Cardinal Edward Egan. He speaks in words that belong on a wedding cake and is useless at a time like this.
We send young men to fight a worldwide religion and we haven’t heard a word from Egan, not a thought about who the other people are and why they hate us. I would say that he probably doesn’t know the first thing about Islam.

Multitudes of children went to school today feeling lucky that the end of the school year is in sight & they will only have to worry for a few days/weeks more about being butchered in their classrooms, martyrs to the misconstrued 2nd amendment.

11y saw me crying and asked if it was about Uvalde.

“Yeah,” I said. “It’s really sad and I worry about y’all.”

“It’s okay, Dad,” he said to me, “we train for this.”

Fuck. I’m broken. He’s in sixth grade. A math nerd. A gamer. He’s not a goddamn Marine. He “trains” for *this?*
