The tension ahead of the election is undeniable. All you have to do is open up Facebook.Division and extreme disagreements can threaten democracy, but there's a better solution than just hitting snooze on someone's profile or staying silent.“Our democracy only works when one: we participate in it, and two: we believe that it can work,” said Dan Vallone, U.S. Director of More in Common. “And we are seeing signs that the sense of division 8 in 10 Americans feel like Americans being pitted against one another is a threat to our democracy.”More in Common is a nonpartisan nonprofit working to strengthen American democracy. They do research on shared beliefs of Americans.They found most people are exhausted by the sense of division. A majority say they trust their local election officials, and believe the process is safe and secure.“So, there’s actually a lot of common ground we can work together on it just doesn't seem readily apparent when we look at social media,” said Vallone.More in Common has created a series of tool kits to help guide productive discussions around democracy. There are info graphics you can share on social media.“It requires us to work with people who disagree with us politically. It requires us to talk to one another in order to make it work,” said Vallone.The idea isn't to get people to change their viewpoint or come to a common agreement. It’s to find shared passions.You can find guides about topics related to the election at DemocracyForPresident.com. 1504

The U.S. again broke its daily record for new confirmed cases of COVID-19 on Wednesday, as local health departments recorded 50,000 new confirmed cases of the virus, according to a database kept by Johns Hopkins.The previous record was set Tuesday when health departments reported about 45,400 new cases.The figures highlight a continued spike in cases throughout the country over the past few weeks. Prior to the recent peak, the highest daily increase in confirmed cases came on April 24, when health departments reported about 36,400 new cases. The U.S. has recorded at least 38,900 new cases every day for the last week.(John's Hopkins)Because the Johns Hopkins database is reliant on reporting from local health departments, the data doesn't necessarily reflect a patient's day of infection. Daily case numbers are often higher mid-week because some local health departments or test centers may be closed on weekends.It's not just cases that are on the rise. According to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, use of hospital beds, ICU beds and invasive ventilators have all risen in recent weeks after months of falling resource use.Many states have either "paused" or chosen to take steps back in their reopening process as cases and hospitalizations linked to the virus continue to rise.On Tuesday, Dr. Anthony Fauci — the government's top expert on infectious diseases — called the recent spike in cases "disturbing," and said that he could foresee the U.S. reporting up to 100,000 new COVID-19 cases a day if recent trends continue. 1593

The school shooting was over in seconds. But it could have dragged on longer and proven deadlier were it not for the rapid response of a school resource officer.When a 17-year-old gunman walked into Maryland's Great Mills High School on Tuesday, the swift action of the school's sole resource officer, Blaine Gaskill, was instrumental in bringing the incident to a quick end.Gaskill's response was hailed as an example of exactly what a resource officer is supposed to do in such a circumstance, particularly when contrasted to the actions of the security officer in last month's shooting in Parkland, Florida. (In the incident at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on February 14, the armed school resource deputy waited outside the school building as the shooter gunned down students inside.)"He responded exactly how we train our personnel to respond," St. Mary's County Sheriff Tim Cameron told reporters.Engaging the shooterAs soon as the gunfire began, Gaskill rushed to the scene. He fired a round at the shooter, who also fired a round at the same time, Cameron said.It's not yet clear whether the shooter, Austin Wyatt Rollins, was felled by the officer's bullet or killed himself."DFC [Deputy First Class] Gaskill fired at the shooter ... almost simultaneously as the shooter fired," Cameron said. "This is something we train, practice and in reality, hope would never come to fruition. This is our worst nightmare."Gov. Larry Hogan called Gaskill "a very capable school resource officer who also happened to be a SWAT team member.""This is a tough guy who apparently closed in very quickly and took the right kind of action," he said. "And while I think it's still tragic, he may have saved other people's lives."Over in secondsThe incident began in a school hallway at 7:55 a.m., just before classes started. Authorities say Austin, armed with a handgun, shot a female student, with whom he had a prior relationship, and another male student.Gaskill responded to the scene in less than a minute, the sheriff said.Cameron said the entire incident took less than a minute, possibly seconds.The 16-year-old female student is in critical condition with life-threatening injuries, and the 14-year-old male student who was shot is in stable condition.Gaskill was unharmed."He's doing well and we're going to do everything to support and promote him and his well-being," Cameron said.Playing to a narrativeGaskill's actions were praised, rightly, across social media. But some -- most notably, the NRA -- held him up as an example of the "good guy with a gun" theory. The theory goes, that bad guys will always find a way to circumvent whatever gun laws are in place. And "to stop a bad guy with a gun," as NRA head Wayne Lapierre?said, "it takes a good guy with a gun.""This [Great Mills High School] armed school resource officer, you're not hearing anyone in #MSM talk about it because it disrupts their narrative," NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch said in one of several tweets Tuesday. (MSM is short for mainstream media.)So far, this year, there have already been 17 school shootings where someone was hurt or killed.In the Parkland shooting, school resource deputy Scot Peterson never entered the building after taking a position outside. He resigned after he was suspended without pay for his inaction."Had our resource officer taken action immediately, the result of the Stoneman Douglas Valentine's Day Massacre would have been different," Parkland student Kai Koerber told CNN."We might not have had to walk over the bodies of our classmates, once lovely and wonderful people, as we were led away from murderous tragedy."Speaking to reporters, Dr. James Scott Smith, the superintendent of St. Mary's County's public schools, put the senselessness of it all in perspective."It looks as though the SRO [school resource officer] did exactly what the SRO is trained to do, and yet we still have a tragic loss of life," he said. "We still have somebody in critical condition. And we have students at the school and staff at the school impacted." 4086
