Kids in Tennessee aren't being killed by drag shows or gender affirming care, but state lawmakers banned them anyway to "protect children." Meanwhile, guns are the leading killer of kids in Tennessee and lawmakers are actually weakening state gun laws. https://t.co/QnS4N6xyTQ

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.

Just a reminder that the aphorism is "one bad apple spoils the barrel" not "one bad apple should in no way reflect on all these other apples in the barrel.”

My heart goes out, still, to George Floyd’s family. This verdict matters, but they continue to mourn a grave loss. Love and comfort to his daughter, Gianna.

THIS IS ACCOUNTABILITY NOT JUSTICE. REMEMBER THAT.

Imagine perceiving a 13-year-old baby as a threat. A 13-year-old baby. And then pretending he—a 13-year-old baby—was the scary person in the situation. Not the police officer with a gun. A 13-year-old baby.

If your work in Congress isn’t to serve ALL your constituents, you have no place here.

We’re coming off the worst year on record for transphobic violence. This is a human rights crisis. We’re passing the Equality Act because our LGBTQ+ communities need to be protected. Period.

Somehow we weathered and witnessed
A nation that isn't broken
but simply unfinished
There is always light
if only we're brave enough to see it
if only we're brave enough to be it.

The actual moral of this story is that the stranger who paid you a common courtesy could be a violent racist extremist, because they aren’t mythical monsters but regular human beings who choose to be evil.

The Navajo Nation flipped AZ. They cast 76K votes, at 97% for Biden. He is currently ahead by 16,985 votes. Some of them spent 2 hours on horseback getting to the polls.

And unlike Never Trump Republicans, they supported down-ballot Dems and helped us with the Senate.

Georgia, thank you. Together, we have changed the course of our state for the better. But our work is not done.
