Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois said that he's open to supporting a federal ban on AR-15 rifles, saying his position on the issue has changed in the wake of a mass shooting at a Texas elementary school last week. https://t.co/A3HTOnx0ty

A study of 29 countries found that the U.S. accounted for almost 97% of *all* firearm deaths among kids 4 years old or younger.

One main factor in the staggering death toll: the nearly 400 million civilian-owned guns in the U.S.

WARNING: CONTAINS PROFANITY – An activist confronted Republican Senator Ted Cruz over gun control after his speech at the National Rifle Association’s annual convention in Houston, Texas

[Proud American Liberal @PBash41]

@NPR I think thousands of elementary students should show up and demand they hold class inside because this is the only place in Texas where guns aren’t allowed!

[ChillMan @hajelaraj]

@NPR So, no guns are permitted to protect the champions of gun rights!! But guns are okay to be used and flaunted freely against the majority of the American population (87%) that just is asking for background checks. Seriously?!

My tia did not make it, she sacrificed herself protecting the kids in her classroom, i beg of you to keep my family including all of her family in y’all’s prayers , IRMA GARCIA IS HER NAME and she died a HERO. she was loved by many and will truly be missed.❤️‍🔥

@RubenGallego @tedcruz Bravo! Amen Brother! The only thing easier to buy in America than a gun is a Republican!

If Ted Cruz and Greg Abbott really cared about the children who were killed in Texas today, they would CANCEL their speaking gigs at the NRA conference in Houston this coming Friday.

So to Republicans, a 12 year-old is old enough to be forced to give birth, get married, or shoot an assault rifle, but is too young to say "gay" or see bad words in a book?

Do I have that right?

@mattgaetz How many white, conservative, claiming to be Christian men that are “pro-life” are really just looking for an ego boost because your testosterone level has bottomed and your dick doesn’t work anymore?

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visits Bucha, the scene of Russian army atrocities against Ukrainian civilians. His face says it all.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Tens of thousands of Ukrainians are reportedly being taken to what are being referred to as filtration camps in Russia, where their passports and phones are being taken away, and family members are being separated, the U.S ambassador to the UN said. https://t.co/rfco4F888b

"Strange Fruit," a protest song about lynching made famous by Billie Holiday, was written not by an African American activist, but by a Jewish high school teacher from New York.

@CBSMMiller looks at the song's backstory. Warning, the photo that inspired the song is disturbing. https://t.co/Ieu6GFJjsm
