#BeSMART for kids: Store guns unloaded, locked, and separate from ammunition. https://t.co/CGrqtbXErL

The problem with Nikki Haley is not that she is a woman or a 1st generation immigrant or even conservative. It’s how her hypocritical use of these weaponized racist dog whistles.

You know who Nikki Haley really hates?

“This crisis has forced youth to put down toys and pick up bullhorns. It has forced youth to put down fun and innocence and pick up desperation and survival. And most importantly, it has forced young people to put down their childhood and pick up a nation.“ - Tre Bosley, @AMarch4OurLives at the #SaferCommunitiesSummit

@alicewillhelp Thank you for speaking with higher ups about how this needs to change, & thank you for all you do for kids!

One parent could get my poetry banned from classrooms. And yet one country can't ban assault rifles from massacring them.

On this day in 1862, Robert Smalls, an enslaved African American, escaped to freedom in a Confederate ship and eventually became a captain for the Union Navy. After the war, he became a successful businessman and politician serving in both houses of the South Carolina legislature

During Safe Kids Week, it's important to remember we can protect children from unintentional shootings with secure firearm storage. This means making sure guns are always inaccessible to kids, and stored unloaded, locked and where possible, separate from ammunition. #BeSMART

"...pediatricians are urging caretakers to ask if guns are present in the home before allowing children to go for play dates. It's a question some haven't considered asking; others may not know how to bring it up. But it's more crucial than ever." https://t.co/pxmMsPs00R

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Every American CEO, every corporate leader, every company based in Texas (@HP, @Oracle, @AmericanAir, @SouthwestAir, @WholeFoods, @Dell, @HEB) has a moral responsibility to PUBLICLY join the coalition demanding stronger gun laws. Today.

Yesterday in honor of #FreeComicBookDay I downloaded a bunch of comic frames by @Jarrett_Lerner and my first graders had a ball finishing them. Thank you, Jarrett, for sharing these!

Parkland Parent @manueloliver00 just released this children’s book to explain to our politicians like they’re five the reality of school shootings in america. Watch ⬇️

[March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives]

We are 120 days into 2023.
There have been 176 mass shootings.
We are not even halfway through the year.

In a country rampant with kids dying by guns, we blame drag queens, gender-affirming care, and books.

If Republicans wanted to protect kids-- they would still be alive.

@vickiringer Just left my message!

@QasimRashid We could fix it if we stopped voting for the people who don’t want to fix it. It’s a choice at this point.

[Dr. Annie Andrews @AnnieAndrewsMD]

You go to the Emergency Department for chest pain. The doctor walks in & starts praying.

You: “Aren’t you going to help me?”
Dr: “Yes! I am thinking about you &🙏for you.”
You: “But don’t you have the skills & tools to do more than that? Isn’t it your job to do more?”

Just a daily reminder that teachers went into teaching to teach.

Not to sit at the center of attacks on education & book bans.

Not to be asked to walk into a classroom armed.

Not to be asked to choose between our principles & our paychecks.

[The Life of a Comms Girl @hannehale]

Mass shootings every day and the people with the power to change it do nothing more than tweet a damn prayer emoji.
