As the U.S. surpasses 240 school shootings in 2023, setting the stage for a record-breaking year of gun violence in schools, Sandy Hook Promise (Shp) is launching “Just Joking,” its latest public service announcement (PSA) to underscore how important it is to take threats of gun violence seriously.
The PSA features a lineup of renowned comedians – including Billy Eichner, Wanda Sykes, Margaret Cho, Jay Pharoah, Roy Wood Jr., Caitlin Reilly, David Cross, Iliza Shlesinger and Rachel Bloom – who lend their wit to deliver a sobering message: Threats are not jokes. If you see a warning sign of violence, always say something.
In the PSA, audience members assume that comedians are performing regular stand-up routines and “Just Joking.” However, it is later revealed that what the audience thought were punchlines were actually all real threats made by school shooters across the country – including the shooter at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, TX who...

In the initial hours after the horrific Texas school massacre, in which 18 children and one adult was killed, CNN’s Jake Tapper noted that politicians’ expressions of thoughts and prayers “has sadly become a cliche at this point.”
But even calling it a cliche seems like a cliche, because the mass shootings, and school massacres in particular, keep happening.
Ed Lavandera, covering the shooting for CNN, was able to give some insight to a reunification center that had been set up for parents at Ross Elementary, as he recalled the same set up for Sandy Hook Elementary. “You could hear the yelling and screaming of the parents who were there,” he said.
Later in the evening, one local reporter at the scene of the Texas shootings, Leigh Waldman of Ksat-tv in San Antonio, wrote on Twitter, “We just heard screams inside the civic center. Yet another family hearing the worst news possible.

Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir planned out only two things before each of the thousands of concerts they played together in the Grateful Dead: The song they would begin with and the song they would end with. Everything else was decided in the moment. “While Jerry was singing, I had plenty of time to think about the next tune that I was going to do,” says Weir. “And while I was singing, he had plenty of time to think about what tune he was next going to do.

Emily Taguchi and Jake Lefferman were already well versed in covering mass shootings around the country by the time they made it to Parkland, Florida. But in talking with the students and the families who had lived through the Marjory Stoneman Douglas school shooting, they could tell the members of this community were ready to speak out about something more.
Taguchi and Lefferman are both producers on ABC’s “Nightline,” but for their documentary “After Parkland,” they go beyond the breaking news heartbreak and got intimate access to families at the center of the tragedy who were still there long after the other news crews had left.
“We’ve gone to these communities in those awful moments and maybe felt some guilt, as many in the media do, that you descend on a community, and you’re there, and then the story moves on, and the nation sort of forgets.

Two years ago, as a college freshman, country singer-songwriter Liddy Clark began writing papers on the relationship between country music and the NRA. In one essay, she pondered what it might take for country music to take a stance that strayed from the “pro-Second Amendment, ‘don’t take my guns away’ type of stuff.”
“Everyone’s always been a little afraid to say something,” says Clark, who hopes to change that with her latest single, “Shot Down (Stand Up).” Clark, who grew up in Parkland, Florida — and graduated from a...

On Tuesday’s episode of “Drunk History,” the Comedy Central series will get political when it tells the real-life story of Marjory Stoneman Douglas.
The episode will air almost a year after the high school named after Douglas was the site of a mass shooting that claimed the lives of 17 people (and injuring 17 more) in Parkland, Florida. In the months since, may of the surviving students have become outspoken advocates for gun control. Derek Waters, the creator of the Comedy Central series, sees a connection between those students and Douglas herself, explaining it was one of the main reasons he wanted to tell her story.
“I want people to know what she stood for, and that’s what those kids were taught,” Waters said to reporters during a press day at Viacom’s Los Angeles office earlier this month. “We should know why a school is called [after] her name.”

Survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School mass shooting unveiled a powerful new song, “Carry You On,” to honor their classmates and urge people to vote in the 2018 midterms.
Survivor Sara Imam wrote the song and is one of two lead vocalists on the track, alongside fellow survivor Isabelle Robinson. “Carry You On” is a slow-burning pop ballad underscored by an orchestral arrangement that reaches its peak as the singers belt the refrain, “We love you, we miss you, we will not forget you.” The video was directed and produced by 18-year-old Jonah Bryson.
