  Me and a couple friends were about a block from where it happened but we left about half an hour before it started. Very surreal to know that if we had made a few decisions slightly differently, we would have been caught up in the middle of it. Someone actually suggested we go out for the Chinese new year celebrations but we decided against it.
context: "Jill and I are praying for those killed and injured in last night's deadly mass shooting in Monterey Park. I'm monitoring this situation closely as it develops, and urge the community to follow guidance from local officials and law enforcement in the hours ahead," Biden tweeted. >
  
  Throw the prayers on the pile over there, next to the thoughts. >
  
  Sometimes, I wish he'd just be brutally honest and say, there's nothing that's going to be done because of the right, and his powers are limited by politics and law. >

  It seems like a lot of people around me need to hear this. >
  
  I feel your pain ❤️ >
  
  I am aware that Biden and the Presidency can not unilaterally act on many things, but when people get angry and say they won't vote for dems over the red side again, thus allowing the reds to win after being the source of inaction amd gridlock to begin with, it irks me.
