[Kristin Song @kristinsong3]

My name is Kristin Song.

On January 31, 2018, my son Ethan was shot in the head in his best friend's house. The father/gun owner stored 3 handguns and ammunition in a shoebox. Ethan's friend had been accessing the guns for over 6 months.

At the hospital, the ER doctor slid down the wall, put his head in his hands, and whispered, "Your son is gone." At that instant, all I knew, loved and trusted was imploded into a million tiny pieces.

I begged to say goodbye to my beautiful boy. I wanted to kiss his forehead, tell him how cherished he was, and tuck him in one last time. But the doctor begged me to remember Ethan as he was, you see, he was unrecognizable even to my eyes.

The day before Thanksgiving in 2018, the prosecutor told me she would not charge the negligent gun owner, and if I wanted negligent gun owners to be held accountable, I would have to change the law.

So I did.

6 months later, Connecticut passed Ethan's Law, which requires gun owners to secure their weapons if children can gain access.

Then, I learned that so many states stood silent on this issue, so in 2019, I turned my attention to passing Ethan's Law nationally. I met with over 400 congressional offices, 130 of them Republican.

In 2022, Ethan's Law was passed in the House of Representatives as part of the Safer Communities Act. Sadly, it was not picked up in the final package.

When the Democrats lost the House of Representatives in 2023, I pivoted to passing safe gun storage laws in the States. As a result, Michigan, New Mexico, and Maryland passed safe storage laws.

Currently, I am working with 5 states to pass Ethan's Law.

I am emotionally and mentally exhausted, but I will not stop until there is a cultural shift in this country where it becomes second nature to secure your weapons around unsupervised children.

If you believe in protecting children from gun violence, please follow and repost.

.@Jason_Aldean - who was on-stage during the mass shooting at a Las Vegas concert in 2017 that killed 60 people and wounded over 400 more - has recorded a song called “Try That In A Small Town” about how he and his friends will shoot you if you try to take their guns.

@lastgoodnerve So sorry. Would like to say “good things are ahead” (and they probably are) but ugh I feel so hard for you. This sucks.

Best guess: Twitter tried to do something stupid with their API, they messed it up in a way that will take days, so Elon is doing this new “you can only read 600 posts a day” thing as a cover, and he’ll say “after hearing your feedback, we’ve reversed the policy” when it’s fixed.

Ohio: Dead fish and cattle being reported as far as 100 miles away from the site.

Journalists covering the story have been arrested.

What the HELL is going on?

@HeyItsHigbe And Ted Cruz

@lastgoodnerve I’m so sorry your world turned upside down. But glad that it dislodged the trash.
Wishing you happy and healthy days ahead.

@HeyItsHigbe Oh, I’m sure mine doesn’t cover them. Mr Dr’s office said my flu shot was covered and then sent me a bill 🙄
I have some free govt COVID tests and will continue to hoard them whenever they are offered.

@HeyItsHigbe Through insurance or just walk up to the pharmacy counter and say “hand ‘em over”?

Twitter was great. For news, for academics, humorists, authors, so many more. It gave politicians a direct voice. It broke down all the gates. It showed us humanity at its worst. It was full of funny stories and sometimes even funny memes. It was my favorite multiplayer game.

[Nicole Tucker @NicoleRE]

@HeyItsHigbe I always question that decision. I mean even Ted chose Mexico over Texas

[Nicole Tucker @NicoleRE]

@HeyItsHigbe Current quandary: Leave Texas now for a “better” state or wait 2 years and maybe leave the country?
