.⁦@GovAbbott⁩ out here blaming mental illness for the outlet mall shooting, knowing the gunman was a white supremacist. White supremacy isn’t a mental illness; it’s an ideology enabled by extremists like him, and made deadly by his lax gun laws. https://t.co/V1yJ9AkhDS

On May 24, 2022 in Uvalde Texas, an 18 year old walked into Robb Elementary School and shot and killed 19 children and 2 adults.

On April 11th, 2023, in Houston Texas, a man paused his dinner date to shoot and kill a fake parking attendant.

On April 28th, 2023 in Cleveland Texas, 5 members of a family (including an 8 year old child) were shot and killed by their neighbor after they asked him to stop firing his gun on his front lawn so their baby could sleep.

On May 6, 2023 in Allen Texas, 8 people (including a 3 year old and 2 elementary school students) were murdered while shopping at an outlet mall.

So when Republican lawmakers in a state where it’s easier to get AR-15s than books about Black history say their abortion ban is about being “pro-life”…
They’re full of shit.

BREAKING: A First responder in the Texas mall shooting pours water over the bullsh*t GOP narrative:

“It wasn't mental health that killed these people, it was an automatic rifle with bullets,” he said.

“Prayers and condolences won't bring these people back. We need action in the federal and state legislatures for better gun control,” witness Steven Spainhouer told MSNBC.

“I’m saying this as someone who loves guns….I'm a former police officer. I’m a former Army officer.”

Spainhouer rushed desperately to aid those wounded and dying after shots rang out a little after 3:30 p.m. May 6.
He said the victims had such horrific injuries that they had to be loaded into police cars because ambulances would not have gotten them to nearby trauma facilities fast enough. 

He also said he also found a child, who survived while covered by his protective mother who had been killed.

Ultimately, Spainhouer says what he witnessed Saturday will haunt him for the rest of his life. 

Now, he’s calling on Congress to DO SOMETHING.

Thank you former officer Spainhouer for speaking out! 💙

As a parent I’m not worried that my 9 and 13 year olds are going to be “indoctrinated” with “wokeness” at school.
I’m not worried that they’re going to ‘feel guilty about their whiteness’ because they’re learning accurate history.
I’m not worried that they’re going to be “groomed” to become furries and to make their pees pees in litter boxes.
Those things aren’t real.
Wanna know what is real?
My worry that they’re going to get shot. That someone with an AR-15 is going to go into their school and shoot them.
So, while the same gun fetishizing, AR-15 lapel pin wearing, locked and loaded family Christmas card posing Republicans fear monger & manufacture crises under the guise of “parents rights”, I say this:
It is my right as a parent to send my kids to school without worrying that they will get shot.
It ain’t the drag queens, the African American history, the books with two moms or two seahorse dads which threaten our kids.
It’s the fucking guns.

THIS IS WAYYYY PAST UNACCEPTABLE!!!! ABORTION IS HEALTHCARE!!!!!! ABORTION IS REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH!!!!!

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨🚨🚨OUTRAGEOUS! An Oklahoma Woman with with a non-viable pregnancy says the hospital told her to sit in the parking lot “until you bleed out.”

Jaci Statton, 25, was sick and bleeding from her partial molar pregnancy but the Oklahoma abortion ban prevented doctors from performing any procedure to help her remove the life threatening tissue.

"Oklahoma has three abortion bans in effect, and each of them has different language in describing the medical exceptions," says Rabia Muqaddam, senior staff attorney at the Center for Reproductive Rights. "It's resulted in extreme confusion about what constitutes a sufficient health condition for a doctor to provide a medically necessary abortion."

"A team of doctors and specialists came in and told us, 'There's nothing that we can do according to Oklahoma law. We can't even really touch you,'" Jaci recalls.

Jaci’s story is like potentially thousands like her. Women’s freedom isn’t just about choices, it’s literally about life and death.

If you are or have a wife, daughter, mother, or friend, we need to think about women’s freedom on a personal level. Their lives could be next.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

Fox News’ Jesse Waters just made a disturbing claim tonight, saying "I saw on the way in to work an illegal immigration family digging through the trash looking for recyclables."

Jessica Tarlov then asked him, “How did you know they were illegal?"

Watters responded, “You can tell. Trust me.”

This is propaganda. You can’t tell the difference between illegal immigrants and legal immigrants. The vast majority of immigrants entering legally or illegally are coming here because they want to make a life for themselves and their families. They want the same opportunities that we have from birth.

When you are on the top, it’s easy to be king of the hill. It’s easy to demonize, criticize and stigmatize those who are trying to reach where you are at.

Deep down most of us want the same things. Just because your ancestors immigrated here a little sooner doesn’t give you a right to treat them like crap.

There are no easy answers to the immigration problem, but treating them any less humane than we want to be treated just wrong.

it shouldn't have to be said but it's irresponsible for any media outlet to treat a guy who attempted a coup after the last presidential election like a normal presidential candidate

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.
