We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.
There is absolutely no place for political violence in our democracy. Although we don’t yet know exactly what happened, we should all be relieved that former President Trump wasn’t seriously hurt, and use this moment to recommit ourselves to civility and respect in our politics. Michelle and I are wishing him a quick recovery.
This is 6 year old Noah Posner.
He loved Batman.
In 2012, a gunman used an AR-15 to kill Noah & 25 others in Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Call @SenSchumer@SpeakerMcCarthy at (202) 224-3121 today to urge them to give us a vote on the bill to #BanAssaultWeapons.
The @washingtonpost obtained the autopsy reports for Noah Pozner and Peter Wang through public records & created a detailed depiction showing the impact of bullets fired from AR-15s at two young victims. https://t.co/KaLGszhUd4
If this was about babies, there would be universal healthcare. Free education. Free daycare. Southern states would be doing all they can to drop the Black maternal mortality rate. This is about power and control
I’m absolutely terrified that this is where we are - that after so many decades of people fighting for women’s rights to their own bodies, today’s decision has stripped us of that.
