“Politicize my death.' Those words rang out hundreds of times on Twitter this weekend, as social media users gave each other permission to make their potential death in any future mass shooting part of a political conversation about ending gun violence:
Those three stark words rang out hundreds of times on Twitter this weekend in the wake of two deadly mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, as social media users gave each other permission to make their potential death in any future mass shooting part of a political conversation about ending gun violence.
The comments and their variants reflect growing frustration and outrage over prior responses to mass shootings, in which elected officials and public figures have often called on others not to"politicize" the tragedies. If I die in any sort of mass shooting, you have my full permission to politicize my death immediately. Don’t let it be in vain.
I’ve said it before, I’m saying it now, and am sure I’ll have to say it again...if I’m ever killed in a shooting please politicize my death for common sense gun legislation. #GunControlNowTalk about how white supremacists are the largest terrorist threat in the U.S.The request has trended after previous mass shootings but emerged with renewed vigor this weekend in the wake of the shooting sprees, which left a combined 31 people dead.
