[Chief Art Acevedo @ArtAcevedo]

Police officers, children, students, church goers, concert goers, theater patrons, restaurant patrons, communities across our nation & all victims of gun violence deserve legislative action. Our nation is drowning in the tears of the loved ones of the victims taken daily.

[RabbisAgstGunViol @RabbisAgstGunV]

We agree. @KamalaHarris knocked this one out of the park. Let's hold every presidential candidate to this standard. It's time to end the needless slaughter of our babies and officers, students and leaders. #EndGunViolenceTogether

[Rabbi Menachem Creditor (he/him) @rabbicreditor]

I have to say, @KamalaHarris might have just won my vote. Her response on the American #GunViolence Epidemic was not only spot-on, it was fierce and practical. I know it's early on, but wow, this is a leader I am really excited about. #EndGunViolence

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Unfortunately, yes - @NRA lobbyists and the lawmakers beholden to them.

Fortunately, Arizona @MomsDemand volunteers vastly outnumber their lobbyists.

When civilians have unfettered access to arsenals and ammo, this is the logical outcome. #txlege https://t.co/0M3VPVXqTG

Ten days before he was assassinated, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke at the 86th annual convention of the RA. In anticipation of #MLKDay on Monday, we invite you to read the transcript of that powerful & inspiring conversation. https://t.co/NzVWPrmKyQ #MLKDay2019

Trump is tweeting about Jill Abramson, so here's all the context...

[Jill Abramson @JillAbramson]

Anyone who reads my book, Merchants of Truth, will find I revere @nytimes and praise its tough coverage of you

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Four teen boys were playing with a loaded handgun in Georgia yesterday when one of them unintentionally shot one and killed his friend. The teen then called 911 and shot and killed himself before they arrived.

Lock up your goddamned guns.

I pray for a #GOP that finds its way once more, working for the common good and holding its leaders accountable to basic decency. Even then, I likely won't agree with many #GOP policies. But we will remember that political disagreement doesn't makes #Americans enemies. Amen.

[Rabbi Menachem Creditor (he/him) @rabbicreditor]

This photo of @NRA #CEO #WayneLaPierre with #Russian #agent #MariaButina makes obvious the linkage of those feeding #America's social degradation, working to increase pain, #Violence, and national dysfunction. We are better than that. It's time to disempower hate. #BuildOnLove

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Of the officers who were shot to death:
8 were killed during investigative activity;
6 while responding to calls of a domestic or public disturbance;
2 while serving warrants;
2 while handling prisoners;
2 were inadvertently shot by other officers.
