The 2026 Crans-Montana bar fire is a grim reminder of many failures, but one of the most obvious—and entirely preventable—is the absence of a simple law prohibiting low ceiling heights and the use of foam materials on such ceilings in public venues.

3/9 The shocking statistics: 40 pregnant people infected with measles in Ontario.

Only TWO were vaccinated.

"Infected in the womb through mothers who were not vaccinated."

The six congenital cases recovered, but preventable tragedy underscores vaccination's importance.

7/12 The deadly toll: In 3 days at these Israeli/US-backed distribution sites, at least 50 people were killed and over 400 injured trying to get food.

Humanitarians had warned that "mixing guns and food would put civilians at risk."

This was preventable.

6/15 The tragedy? Measles is completely preventable. Two vaccine doses—1960s technology, mostly taken for granted—do the job. Yet only 50% of southern Alberta children have received both doses. Some rural areas plummet to 30% vaccination rates.

No child should have unsupervised access to unsecured guns. Lock up your guns!

the people who die because they can't afford health insurance or their medicine is the true American #PreventableTragedy

7/9 Dr. Peter Marks, placed responsibility squarely: "This is the epitome of an absolute needless death.

These kids should get vaccinated—that's how you prevent people from dying of measles."

Is it time for a class action suit against #RFKJrVaccineSkeptic ?

💔 This tragedy was preventable. 67 lives lost due to failures in training, staffing, and oversight. No one should die from avoidable mistakes. Proper training, staffing, and oversight matter. Trump FIRED all the senior & experienced; only one to person to blame! #Accountability #PreventableTragedy

Would we ever send the military into combat with just thoughts and prayers? No, and yet as school become firing ranges, that's exactly how the right and Republicans want to defend the children: just thoughts and prayers.

"Thoughts and prayers" for such a preventable tragedy is utter bullshit! TAKE ACTION CONGRESS! Stop feeding pablum to the masses and catering to the arms industry!

If your god does nothing to stop the senseless slaughter of children by other children, then it's not a good god or worth following.

I can't stop thinking about children killing other children in school. It literally makes no sense to me. It begs the question of what exactly are we teaching our children.

Civilized people should never resort to this... [image of an assault rifle] to settle personal disputes.

The lowest standard of civility is using non-violent means to settle personal disputes. We have some serious, deep-seated issue we need to address in this country (USA).

Full disclosure. I own firearms. I use them strictly for target shooting. I keep them all under lock and key. We need sensible gun laws in this country. Telling a nut job he (or she) cannot purchase a weapon is not a violation of the 2nd Amendment.

Body armor should not be on a child's school supply list! Image of a chest protector on the right.

Yet another preventable tragedy, but apparently the right is perfectly fine with children getting slaughtered in school by other students. Something is definitely not right in the country.
