Can you hear it in the back?

[Jeanna Kelley @jeannathomas]

I would like to live in a country where there's not a good chance of an active shooter situation in literally every public setting and I frankly don't think that should be too much to ask

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

11 years ago this morning, 20 sets of parents kissed their first graders goodbye as they dropped them off for school. It was the last time they would see their children alive.

I beg you - commit yourself to the cause of creating a nation where this never ever happens again.

Thank you @StudentsDemand @MomsDemand @GovofCO

[Moms Demand Action @MomsDemand]

VICTORY! @GovofCO Jared Polis signed four critical gun safety bills into law which strengthen Colorado’s Extreme Risk law, raise the age for purchase of a firearm, hold the gun industry accountable, and create a mandatory waiting period for purchasing a firearm. #COLeg

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

SCHOOL SHOOTINGS ARE NOT ACTS OF NATURE. They are senseless, preventable acts of man enabled by weak gun laws and lawmakers.

This doesn't have to be our new normal. Our children don't have to be sacrificed in exchange for gun industry profits. We can stop this.

A Texas task force spent a year studying how to address the teacher vacancy crisis. Their recommendations? Increase pay significantly, improve benefits, enhance teacher prep, and respect teachers’ time.

No mention of merit pay.

A survivor of the Sandy Hook School mass shooting in 2012 is a student at Michigan State University: “I am 21-years-old and this is the second mass shooting I’ve lived through. We can no longer allow this to happen. We can no longer be complacent.”

[Stephanie Bonne @scrubbedin]

So. 48,830 people: wives, husbands, children, siblings, died in 2021 from a gun. Thanks for the info @CDCgov. That’s 16 9/11s every year. 25 Hurricane Katrinas. When is it not about the numbers and about the actual people? Some of them were my patients. @acsTrauma @MomsDemand

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

Your right to own a gun does not supersede a student’s right not to get shot at school.

[Darcy Barr @Darcy26_2]

@AndyKnny 1- The measures don’t support small businesses. 2- That $13 million could have been put to better use helping Colorado schools since CO ranks one of the lowest states in spending per student.

If this was about babies, there would be universal healthcare. Free education. Free daycare. Southern states would be doing all they can to drop the Black maternal mortality rate. This is about power and control

.@RepMcGovern: "In order to protect the duck population in Texas, shotguns cannot hold more than 3 shells. Imagine if our Republican colleagues could muster the same courage to protect America's children."

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

FYI this isn't stopping. There have been 18 mass shootings SINCE Uvalde.

You need to know this. Because it's not going to stop until we do something.

1/ Here's just a sampling of the slaughter in the last six days:

[Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen]

It’s the guns. Not the doors. Not video games. Not Godlessness. It is the guns. It’s the fucking guns. It’s the guns. The guns. The guns. For fuck’s sake, what are we doing?

[Jessica McMaster @JessMcMasterKC]

It’s worth repeating. A mom drove there. Got handcuffed. Got out of handcuffs. Hopped a fence. Went inside the school and walked out with her two kids. All while 19 officers waited outside the classroom where the gunman was. #UvaldePolice #Uvalde

[Jordan Cooley @jrcooley_]

As the daughter of the cop who arrested the school shooter at Santa Fe high school, I can absolutely say arming teachers is not the answer.

🧵: CW death, school shooting, mental health, writing from memory

[Burgess Everett @burgessev]

“Spare me the bullshit of mental illness,” says Sen. Murphy of the United States. “We’re not an outlier on mental illness, we’re an outlier on firearms”

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

Schools scared to death.
The truth is, one education under desks,
Stooped low from bullets;
That plunge when we ask
Where our children
Shall live
& how
& if

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.
