@Realrclark25 that show was so good! I might as well have been that guy in the lobby.

I spent years shooting hoops at the park, pretending I was Joe D, so that I could run with Isiah

Thank you -

Pure friendship, so much sadness. We don't have to live like this. 110 people are shot and killed everyday in the US.

Background checks
Red flag laws
Safe storage
Violence interruption programs
Assault weapons ban
... all will save lives and #preventgunviolence

When tragedy hits close to home, repping a cause means a little more.

DE @DegarrickSamuel shared the story and raw emotion of why preventing gun violence is at the heart of his 2022 #MyCauseMyCleats footwear.

@jonfavs @danpfeiffer @PodSaveAmerica Re: 2024 Presidential, if FL, IA and OH are lost causes, and GA and AZ vote D only because Trump is too extreme, what's the path to victory if Trump doesn't get nomination? Shouldn't we be begging MI, AZ, PA, and WI students to stay in-state for 5 years after graduation?

Obama’s absolutely shredding @RonJohnsonWI here for wanting to gut social security

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Rioters shouted “Where is Nancy?!” on January 6. The man who broke into her home and tried to murder her husband shouted the same thing. MAGA Republicans’ toxic and dangerous rhetoric is inciting chaos and crime, which is exactly what it’s intended to do. https://t.co/ukeU6MvV1F

[Benjamin Orbach @BenjaminOrbach]

How about listening when people tell us who they are?

They tried to kill @SpeakerPelosi on 1/6 too. They tried to overthrow the govt. Just because they failed, doesn’t change the intent. These people are terrorists not patriots. They need to be treated as such.

[Meghan McCain @MeghanMcCain]

I feel absolutely sick, horrified and disgusted about the news of Paul Pelosi. What in God's name is happening in this country?! Everyone join me and send support, love, prayers, anything you can to Speaker Pelosi, her husband and the entire Pelosi family.

This is a broken world

@Dejan_Kovacevic @gainey_ed Come on ... You are a professional writer and own a small business that operates downtown. Do you really think YELLING at the Mayor on TWITTER about an incredibly complicated issue is your most effective route?
Be better. There are so many other ways ...

Vote by Mail here in Pennsylvania is 💯 safe + secure.

TBH, there was *some* vote fraud in PA.

In the 2020 election-out of 7M votes- four (4) Republican voters used the deceased mothers’ ballots to vote for the former President.

All of them are currently on probation.

Nothing says ban assault rifles like 5 school officers, 8 federal DEA officers, 13 U.S. Marshals, 16 sheriff’s deputies, 25 Uvalde officers, 69 officers of nearby law enforcement, 91 state police officers plus 149 U.S. Border Patrol agents being scared of 1 shooter with an AR-15.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Nearly 400 “good guys” responded to the Uvalde shooting: 5 school officers, 25 Uvalde officers, 16 sheriff's deputies, neighboring law enforcement, 149 Border Patrol officers, 91 state police officers, 13 US Marshals and 8 federal DEA officers.

They couldn’t stop one bad guy.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

The Uvalde video puts to bed, forever, the question of whether the way to deal with bad guys with guns is to make sure there are more good guys with guns.

We've always known it was a gun industry created lie, designed to sell more guns. Now we just have the gut wrenching proof.
