July 3, 2023 - Monday night five people were killed and several more injured, as a gunman opened fire in the Kingsessing section of SW Philadelphia.

Among the MULTIPLE children injured by gunfire was a 2-year-old who was shot four times in the legs.

The five deceased victims are:
Daujan Brown, 15
Lashyd Merritt, 20
Dymir Stanton, 29
Joseph Wamah, Jr., 31
Ralph Moralis, 59

These innocent people had their future taken away from them, their right to life taken away from them, by a guy who wore a bulletproof vest & used an AR15-type gun.

They weren't the only ones who lost their lives during the 4th of July weekend, many more innocent people lost their lives because of guns.

During a press conference, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner had this to say as he wrapped up his speech:

First, he blasted Republican legislators insisting that they are "against [voters'] safety."

"Finally, I just want to say this: it is disgusting, the lack of proper gun legislation that we have in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,"

"It is disgusting that you can go to New Jersey and find a whole list of reasonable gun regulation that we don't have, that you can go to Delaware and there's almost as long a list of reasonable gun legislation that we don't have,"

He then took aim at Republicans who have recently worn AR-15 lapel pins. George Santos (NY) & Anna Paulina Luna (FL) have worn those lapel pins as a sign of support for the 2nd Amendment. Who put on those lapel pins after the Nashville School shooting?

His words to them:
"It is time for everybody and our legislature, including the ones who would like to walk around with an AR-15 lapel pin," Krasner said. "It is time for every one of them to face the voters."

"And if they're not going to do something, then voters are going to have to vote them out because that's what that lapel pin means. It means 'Vote me out. I am against you, and I'm against your safety.'"

Perhaps it’s time for them to face the families of those killed & wounded, and explain to them why they wear the pins & support the guns, instead of supporting the innocent American People being killed by their guns.

The death of our fellow American Citizens should not be a political issue, but unfortunately, the Republicans have made it one with their refusal to do anything about Gun Reform.

If you want change, if you want common sense gun reform, and want the senseless killing of innocent people, the children in school to stop, and the Republicans refuse to do anything about it, then vote them out.

Tulsa's shame. The time is now for Tulsa to step up and do the right thing.

Remember, if you want change, you have to Vote!

From @hrw: Following the Tulsa Race Massacre, "government and city officials, as well as prominent business leaders, not only failed to invest and rebuild the once thriving Greenwood community, but actively blocked efforts to do so." 1/ https://t.co/VZozR5cJwV

This does not bode well for Oklahoma women.

GOPlahoma is no friend to women!

When can an Oklahoma doctor legally perform an abortion to save a patient's life? Even after recent court rulings, many don't know. by @arriifife https://t.co/h0JV0TpjQr

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law on July 26, 1990. Every July we celebrate Disability Pride Month to commemorate the passage of this landmark civil rights law.

#DisabilityPrideMonth

[Oklahoma Policy Institute @OKPolicy]

Let's celebrate #DisabilityPrideMonth this July by focusing on disability inclusion and justice in our state policies and uplifting and supporting those with disabilities around us, now and all year long.

A more than 100-year old law now propping up the state’s sweeping abortion ban contains no clear definition about what it means to preserve the life of a mother. | via @arriifife

We've updated our 2023 Oklahoma Police shooting database with the fatal shooting Monday of Owasso resident Lance Paxton. Paxton is accused of leading police on a short chase and exiting the vehicle with a shotgun.

Millions in federal relief money meant to help Oklahoma students during the pandemic was misspent at the hand of special interest groups who gave preferential treatment to private schoolers while hundreds of needy children missed out, a state audit found.

The Supreme Court's recent rulings were sadly predictable for anyone who understands the hard-right agenda. Their goal has always been to install Justices whose job is to turn back the clock on our freedoms, on decades of constitutional decisions, and on our continuing struggle to “form a more perfect union” that includes all of us.

Let's vote out their political enablers and rein in the dark, subversive money that supports them in their quest to reverse a century of progress.
