I voted against the $858 billion Pentagon budget because it’s time to invest in health care, jobs, housing and education – not more weapons of destruction.

Mike McDaniel said it's good Tua "doesn't have anything more serious than a #concussion."

I don't think this guy gets it. A concussion is a traumatic brain injury & posturing suggests brain stem injury. It's pretty high on the list of serious medical consequences of football.

[Beth Shelburne @bshelburne]

Alabama’s thirst for inflicting a tortuous death on citizens will not stop until we vote these death machine advocates out. ADOC cannot be trusted to keep people in its care alive nor can they administer a swift execution. Incompetence & cruelty is a terrible combination.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Lawmakers are asking teachers to stand up to gunmen because they’re too cowardly to stand up to gun lobbyists.

[John Archibald @JohnArchibald]

I concur.

[Danté Stewart (Stew) @stewartdantec]

And then there are the Christians who say “now our work begins…let’s care for them.” That’s terrifying: if you can’t care for people until you win, then your theology never saw their humanity in the first place. They were only pawns in your game. That’s not of God or Jesus.

[Danté Stewart (Stew) @stewartdantec]

Christians should be involved in helping shape the country. Christians should not be trying to create a “Christian” nation. To be people of faith means we join God and our neighbors in creating a more loving and liberating country for everyone, not a “Christian” one.

[Rep. Shontel Brown @RepShontelBrown]

Let me get this straight:

The Supreme Court says states cannot decide how to regulate guns—yet only the states can decide how to regulate a woman’s body.

[Heidi Stevens @HeidiStevens13]

Holy. Shit. What a brilliant, horrifying cover.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

HERE ARE SOME ANSWERS FOR YOU: Don't let teens buy guns. Pass a federal background check requirement. Pass a federal red flag law. Close the Charleston loophole. Confirm an ATF director. Fund community violence intervention programs. Stop taking NRA money.

Uvalde

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

School shootings are not fucking acts of nature, like hurricanes and tornadoes. They're man-made acts of inaction, of cowardice, of corruption by all lawmakers who refuse to pass laws PROVEN BY DATA to stop preventable, senseless shootings like in Uvalde.

[Carlos A. Rodríguez @CarlosHappyNPO]

Jesus asked religious leaders to drop their stones.

Jesus asked Simon Peter to drop his sword.

Jesus is asking America to drop her guns.

[Nick Estes @nickwestes]

At this point, Congress is just an arms dealer. No education. No access to healthcare. No housing. No clean drinking water. But we’ll finance your war.

[Ashley McCormick @aktmccormick]

This. A million times this.

[Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove @wilsonhartgrove]

There’s nothing pro-life or pro-family about the movement that harnessed white rage to elect “traditional values” candidates who consistently vote against living wages, access to healthcare, affordable housing, public education, immigrants & plans to address the climate crisis.

[CODEPINK @codepink]

The US has money for war but can't feed the poor.

It's time to change that. #CutThePentagon

[Goodable @Goodable]

In Arkansas, a school district decided to power their schools with solar panels. They ended up saving more than $300,000 a year.

What did they do with the money they saved?

They put it towards the teachers' salaries.

[Bill McKibben @billmckibben]

Today's declaration from the WH banning Russian oil is, potentially, a turning point for the world.
If we use it to wean ourselves off fossil fuel fast, as Biden says we will, then we can take on both despots and climate destruction.
It may be a day historians look back on

The only "winner" of war is the military-industrial complex.
