@TexasMonthly Disappointed you didn’t recognize the excellent Rep. Mihaela Plesa @plesafortexas, HD 70 - Plano. @CollinDemocrats are justifiably proud of our 1st representative in a generation!

@PartyCatholic It’s the guns. No one who is not in uniform needs military grade weapons.

@MN9_Kels What planet are you from? You sure don’t get your information from any reliable earth-based sources.

@whatley_brady @march_fourth_ The founding fathers had muskets and “well regulated militia,” not automatic weapons of war. No one who is not in uniform needs an automatic weapon.

@JessicaBartnick This is absolutely not true! I live in #AllenTexas and there are no Democrats on our City Council or School Board. As a Democrat, I have NO representation at any level of government, and it really sucks!

@GregAbbott_TX - I don't believe in an almighty God who is absolutely in control of our lives, but you are STILL supposed to represent me and millions of others who don’t share your faith.

@MomsDemand @shannonrwatts - Where is the protest in Allen TX tonight? Lawmakers will be taking photo ops at Cottonwood Creek Baptist Church at 5 PM. Connect with Liberal Women of Collin County on FB.

@GerryMaine @JosephSakran The NRA has been telling their followers some “big bad” is going to “take their guns away” for decades, and no one has even tried. Not even Obama.

[Deborah Angell Smith @angellsmith]

@HatteBlejer @JosephSakran Thousands. This is a regional shopping center and there are thousands of people there every weekend, which is why I seldom go. It can take 30 minutes just to get from one side to another.

[Deborah Angell Smith @angellsmith]

@JCraig425 @JosephSakran The NRA has been spreading that crap for decades, and no one has ever tried to take your guns… including Obama.

[Deborah Angell Smith @angellsmith]

@shoughtonjr @Foreverpandafan @JosephSakran At least it would take some effort.

Bodies under sheets outside a mall in Allen, Texas.

We are not numb, we’re traumatized.

We are not numb, we’re traumatized.

We are not numb, we’re traumatized.

We are not numb, we’re traumatized.

We are not numb, we’re traumatized.

We are not numb, we’re traumatized.

[Deborah Angell Smith @angellsmith]

There’s nothing like when it hits close to home. This regional shopping mecca is a few miles from my house. Dreading the announcement of victim’s names, but no one should lose their life for going to a mall.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Mothers of America: Regardless of your political party, or if you’re apolitical, you need to imagine that you were at that mall today in Allen, Texas. Because if you haven’t been touched by gun violence yet, you will be. No one is safe. Republicans are killing our kids.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Do I have this right…the same Republicans in Congress who want a national abortion ban don't support paid maternity leave? Or universal childcare? Or universal healthcare?

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Teaching should not be a life-threatening profession.

Educators should not need to be armed to feel safe in the classroom.

We must do more.

I continue to call on Congress to pass common-sense gun safety laws to protect our kids and our teachers.

@cjtackett Using a cell phone in a polling place is illegal and should be reported too!

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The Republicans in Congress want to repeal the estate tax, giving America's billionaires a $1.8 trillion tax break.

Don't believe for a second that they care about working people.
