In The Thick

ITT Sound Off: Uvalde


Listen Later

Maria and Julio process the tragic mass shooting that occurred in Uvalde, Texas on Tuesday, when an 18-year-old man opened fire at an elementary school, killing two teachers and 19 children. They get into the systemic issues of gun control, border policing, and how this intersects with immigration. 

ITT Staff Picks:

  • “There are parents today scrolling through photographs of their children, realizing that there will be no more photographs of them to take. We cannot continue to live like this, but I fear we will,” writes Clint Smith in this piece for The Atlantic. 

  • Mike Hixenbaugh spoke with a teacher in Uvalde, Texas. She was at the school on Wednesday and said it was the longest 35 minutes of her life, via NBC.

  • Bindu Bansinath writes about ways to support the community in Uvalde, in this piece for The Cut.
