[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

Crazy thought- how about instead of arming teachers we disarm the people who want to kill them instead.

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

The red line is when Republicans ended the national assault weapons ban.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Every peer nation is home to dangerous men; only America gives them unfettered, easy access to arsenals and ammunition.

ONLY AMERICA.

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

Some days it’s hard to have any hope.
Today is one of those days.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

As the horrific details come in about victims killed and wounded by a white man with a semiautomatic rifle in a college town in Maine tonight, remember that THIS IS TERRORISM. We're giving weapons of war to civilians with no guardrails and then setting them loose on society.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, instead of paying $400 a month for insulin, seniors on Medicare will only pay $35 a month.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Clarence Thomas secretly accepted millions in lavish gifts from billionaires.

He secretly shows up at a fundraiser for billionaires to help raise money for a super PAC.

And he votes on cases to help billionaires.

This isn’t the appearance of corruption, this is corruption.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Yes.

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

More evidence of my naïveté: I honestly thought political media would care far more about women and girls dying due to lack of access to abortion care than they would over a U.S. Senator wearing a hoodie to work. Serves me right.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Last time there was a government shutdown, 800,000 Americans were furloughed or worked without pay.

But enjoy your weekend.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Every accusation is a confession.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

The. Two. Parties. Are. Not. The. Same.

[Team Katie @TeamKatiePorter]

Republicans are doing everything they can to distract the American people while they drive our economy off a cliff—and @SpeakerMcCarthy is at the wheel.

He's only passed 1 of 12 budget bills. As a professor, I'll tell you what that means: Speaker McCarthy is getting an F.

[Goodable @Goodable]

When he was 9, a librarian told Ronald McNair he couldn't sign out a book because he was Black.

He went on to:

- Graduate high school as valedictorian
- Earn a PhD from MIT
- Become a NASA Astronaut
- Become a 5x national karate champion

That library is now named after him.

[Mia Sade @mia_sade]

Baby, that's the Marines

[Mikel Jollett @Mikel_Jollett]

✔️ Burning books.

✔️ Attacking the rule of law.

✔️ Spreading racist conspiracy theory.

✔️ Accusing Jews of "running the world."

✔️ Encouraging violence through propaganda.

✔️ Taking rights away from marginalized groups.

Guys, it's closer to midnight than you might think.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Correct: there’s no way you can continue wasting hundreds of millions of dollars on stock buybacks to manipulate prices, jack up CEO pay to ludicrous levels, all while starving the workers who actually make the product you sell.

THAT is what is unsustainable.
Pay your workers.

[March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives]

NOW: Students at #UNChapelHill are taking shelter in the same exact classrooms, at the same exact time as they were TWO WEEKS AGO.

The same politicians that mocked us yesterday, demanding change, are letting us live in fear AGAIN today.

Their apathy is our hell.
