I’ve called for it before and will call for it again @elonmusk @OwnerFacebook and anyone who cares about humanity - please forgo one day of profits and just turn everything off for a day - turn the temperature down -

[Rep. Justin Jones @brotherjones_]

After every mass shooting we’re told it’s “too soon” to talk about the failed policy choices that allow this happen day after day in America.

The truth is it’s too late.

The time to act is NOW��� we don’t have to accept mass death to appease the profits of the gun industry.

Republicans in Texas have passed a bill that would allow Governor Abbott to void elections in Democratic counties.

They're doing a pretty big fascism. https://t.co/3frPk4fURE

[Marcus Flowers @Marcus4Georgia]

I could not agree more with our great Senator from Georgia, Rev. Raphael Warnock.

“It is a contradiction to say that you are thinking and praying and then do nothing.”

Greed is the only reason Republicans in Congress refuse to act to keep America safe. We deserve better.

MEMPHIS: “Memphis City Council may be ready to explore ordinances to ban assault weapons and permitless carry… potentially would put the council at loggerheads with the Tennessee legislature, which enacted some of the loosest gun laws in the nation.” https://t.co/WKP1jP284q

House Republicans are holding Veterans disability checks hostage for cuts to Veterans health care.

[read that again]

They are the very definition of anti-Veteran.

[Ricky Davila @TheRickyDavila]

Corrupt disgrace Greg Abbott and MAGA Republicans in Texas have now given their state Secretary of State the power to cancel all elections results in Harris County, the largest Democratic county in Texas and are moving to ban all college campus polling sites.

This is fascism.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

Holy shit. Texas DPS officers just roughed up peaceful protesters in the House Gallery as Republicans prepared to debate their anti-trans bill. (h/t @reportsbychar)

“Taylor Swift comes out against Trump”

Taylor Swift: “I don't care if they write that...This is something that I know is right, I need to be on the side right of history”

Bravo @taylorswift13, America is a better place because of selfless people like you

Wow! There is currently a MASSIVE rally outside and inside the Ohio statehouse with folks wrapped around the building protesting the GOP effort to change the Ohio Constitution. This is democracy at work. (h/t @DavidPepper) https://t.co/aTcWxrvEJj

[Adam Friedman @friedmanadam5]

A new complaint — this time a civil one with the Tennessee Attorney General — has been filed against House Speaker Cameron Sexton over his residency and expenses. It could carry a fine of up to $1.5 million.

A Willie good weekend was had by all at the #WillieNelson90 birthday celebration!

Shameful and deadly leadership failures in TN.

Wanted this to go on for 20 minutes

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

What's happening in Montana and Tennessee is IMPORTANT.

The silencing of Zooey Zephyr, Justin Pearson, and Justin Jones is a red alert moment for democracy. The GOP agenda is now so deeply unpopular that their only way to implement it is to destroy and eliminate their critics.

[GIFFORDS @GIFFORDS_org]

UPDATE: At least one person was shot and killed and four more were injured in Midtown Atlanta. Workplaces are still under lockdown.

After every shooting, families are forever changed and communities are traumatized.

We cannot continue to live like this.

I am a gun owner and a hunter. I have always & will continue to strongly support #2ndAmendment rights. But we have reached a #publichealth crisis where #guns are now #1 killer of kids nationwide. Here are 11 policies that warrant consideration in response:
