Proud mom fighting to end gun violence and remove weapons of war from the streets. Name rhymes with smile 😃. #hpstrong

We are safe now but the trauma from this event will be forever. We literally hit the sidewalk and draped ourselves over kids. We could not have been any closer to this event.

Thank you the first responders from across Lake and Cook counties.

We are hiding in an apartment building off Central avenue. Lots of first responders. Police have cleared the area and do not want people out. Definitely injuries but no clue if they were from the trauma and possible trampling or what.

We don’t have to live this way.

When you vote today, do it for my cousin Alex, who will never get to vote himself.

Alex was killed in his English classroom in Parkland by a gunman with an AR-15.

Today, vote for a future free of gun violence.

Many don’t realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps weren’t everyday Jewish citizens, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them “very long sentences,” I can’t help but take him seriously… because history teaches us that is what fascist dictators do during their “Day One” period to consolidate their power. (After all, if you’re hellbent on staying in power but aren’t likely to win the next election, you can’t have your political opponents running around free.)

To keep fascism out of our lives, vote for democracy!

Reminder: This is a conspiracy theory based in anti-Semitism alleging that Jewish people have the technology to manipulate the weather and cause freak storms that wreak havoc on the world.

Almost one year to the day.

Never forget what Hamas did to our families.

Tamar, 35
Yonatan, 36
Shahar, 5
Arbel, 5
Omer, 2

An entire family, shot to death by Hamas terrorists as they suffocated in their shelter.

The Cincinnati Reds are hiring Terry Francona as their manager, sources tell ESPN. He will come out of retirement one year after stepping away from Cleveland and will take over a young, talented Reds team. @Feinsand was first on the news.

I don’t think the national media is grasping the level of devastation in FL, GA, SC, NC, TN, and VA. Whole towns have been washed away. Asheville is cut off from the outside world. 1.3 million people in SC are still without power. It’s really bad.

IN A NATION AWASH IN 400 MILLION UNREGULATED FIREARMS, NO ONE IS SAFE ANYWHERE.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

The political affiliation of the would-be assassin doesn’t matter. The political affiliation of the lawmakers who armed him with an AK-47 does.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Let’s treat men who want guns the way we treat women who want abortions:

Waiting period
Parental permission
Doctor’s note
Watch video on dangers
Forced him travel hundreds of miles to gun store
Make him walk through protestors

Georgia officials want us to know that the 14-year-old boy who shot and killed two teachers and two students will be tried for murder as an adult, as if that will make us feel better. What about the actual adults who armed him? https://t.co/ln9YfDwVUe

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Georgia doesn’t:

✅Have a minimum age to buy rifles
✅Require adults to securely store guns
✅ Require background checks on all gun sales
✅ Require permitting
✅ Have red flag laws
✅ Prevent abusers from accessing guns
✅ Regulate assault rifles
✅ Have a waiting period
