It’s not SSRIs. Iceland: biggest user of antidepressants; low rates of gun violence.

It’s not video games. Japan: among the largest markets for video games; low rates of gun violence.

It’s not weed. Israel: biggest user of cannabis; low rates of gun violence.

It’s the guns.

Our Administration is committed to preserving and fortifying DACA. We need Congress to protect DACA and pass legislation to ensure a pathway to citizenship for our Dreamers, farm workers, and TPS recipients.

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

I met with DACA recipients to hear their experiences, hopes and dreams for their futures. They are teachers, organizers, and entrepreneurs. Each of these young leaders has contributed and given back to this country, which is their home.

Virginia requires magazine limitation for duck hunting—no more than 3 rounds in a shotgun. Why? It's not fair to ducks.

Yet when we try to limit magazines to 10 rounds in Congress, we’re blocked. If we can limit magazines to protect ducks, we must do the same to protect people.

If they have money to arm teachers, they have the money to hire more teachers.

If they have money to arm teachers, they have the money to hire more counselors.

If they have money to arm teachers, they have the money to provide every school w/ resources.

They have the money!

We should reinstate the ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines that we passed in 1994.

In the ten years it was law, mass shootings went down.

After Republicans let the law expire in 2004 — and those weapons were allowed to be sold again — mass shootings tripled.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Over the last two decades, more school-age children have died from guns than on-duty police officers and active duty military combined.

Think about that.

For God’s sake how much more carnage are we willing to accept?

On this day in 2014, 12-year-old Tamir Rice was senselessly murdered by Cleveland police officer Timothy Loehmann while playing with a toy gun.

Tamir would have turned 18 this year. He should still be alive. 🕊

Not surprising at all, but good to know.

Worth noting that U.S.-based Moderna's co-founders and CEO are all immigrants.

Satire or reality?

- Just track students who use the bathroom for contact tracing;

- Just text the office if you need to use the bathroom;

- Just pass out wipes before students leave (stay six feet apart)...
