I like the Mets, music, soap operas, books, coffee, wine and lots and lots of tv.

Imagine being a @CNN advertiser during a town hall where sexual assault was joked about. #BrandUnsafe

This month in the US, people were shot for ringing the wrong doorbell, getting into the wrong car, using a leaf blower, delivering food to the wrong address, driving into the wrong driveway, and for asking a neighbor to stop shooting so a baby could sleep.

It’s the fucking guns.

We can’t go to the bank.
Can’t go to work, to the grocery store, to the airport, to our places of worship, to a farmer’s market, a concert, a nightclub, a dance hall, a movie or a doctor’s office.
Our kids can’t go to a parade, to the mall or to school.
You can’t ring the wrong doorbell, pull down the wrong driveway or accidentally hop in the wrong car, without fear of being shot.
Shot and killed.
In a nation with more guns than people, this has become our reality.
But it is not normal.
And it sure as shit is not ok.

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

Six people, including three children, were killed last week in a school shooting in Nashville. 

How did Republican lawmakers in Tennessee respond?

By expelling their colleagues who stood with Tennesseans and said enough is enough. 

This is undemocratic and dangerous.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Rep. Gloria Johnson on why she survived while two of her colleagues were expelled from the Tennessee House: "Well, I think it's pretty clear. I'm a 60-year-old white woman and they are two young Black men."

[Steve Gelbs @SteveGelbs]

Really impressive inning there from Senga. Major League debut. Loads the bases with nobody out. Doesn’t implode. Uses the ghost fork to strike out the next two batters and then gets Berti to line out to end the frame.

[SNY Mets @SNY_Mets]

Kodai Senga waited for Starling Marte after his catch to end the 1st inning and they both got a big welcome in the dugout

Japan has people with mental illness.

France has schools w unlocked doors.

Canada has young men who feel alienated.

All these countries have crime.

Only the US has more GUNS than PEOPLE.

Only in the US, are guns the LEADING cause of DEATH in CHILDREN.

It’s the fucking guns.

This is America. This is the cost of inaction.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

We had an assault weapons ban from 1994-2004 that prohibited the manufacture or sale for civilian use of certain semi-automatic weapons and banned magazines with 10 rounds or more.

Mass shootings dropped during that decade.

We did it once and should do it again.

[chris evans @notcapnamerica]

So the police followed every protocol and still weren’t able to stop a school shooting,

OOPS — I guess it really is the guns, you guys.

[Brian J. Karem @BrianKarem]

It is one strange world when you want to arm teachers, but don't trust them enough to choose what books to read to our children.

[Chef José Andrés 🕊️🥘🍳 @chefjoseandres]

90% of NYers support school meals for all. 240+ orgs including farmers are on board. So are upstate and downstate legislators on both sides of the aisle.

Let’s build longer tables! Tell @GovKathyHochul @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie to fund school meals.

This morning I sent my kids to school with a pit in my stomach.
I wanted to keep them home.
Wanted to keep them close.
Wanted to keep them safe.
But I can’t give in to the fear.
I can’t let them see that I’m afraid.
And I don’t want them to BE afraid.
So I sent them.
And just as I have done ever since the massacre at Sandy Hook, I made sure to memorize their outfits.
In case of the horrific unthinkable.
School shootings have been their reality for as long as they’ve been in school.
They are 9 and 13 years old.
And this is all they’ve ever known.
So it bears repeating -
That this is not normal.
And it is not ok.

Senate Chaplain Barry Black's opening prayer:

"Lord, when babies die at a church school, it is time for us to move beyond thoughts and prayers. Remind our lawmakers of the words of ... Edmund Burke: 'All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.'"

[Maria Shriver @mariashriver]

This picture…Every parent and every human being with a heart understands what’s at stake here. Those same people cannot understand why we cannot get these guns off our streets. My fellow Americans we must resolve this. Everyone’s life is at stake. @shannonrwatts

THIS is last year's Christmas card from Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles, a Republican who represents the district that Covenant School is in in Nashville. #tnleg

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

Senator Blackburn took $1.25 million from the NRA.

[Jack Stelzner @jackstelzner]

Here’s @RepOgles and his family. He’s the Member of Congress who represents the Covenant School.
