16-year-old climate activist @GretaThunberg says she “has nothing to say” to people who don’t believe in climate change - including President Trump.

There is no time to waste, there is no planet B.

"We talk about cost. Well we're going to pay for this whether we pass a Green New Deal or not. As towns and cities go underwater, as wildfires ravage our communities, we're going to pay. And we need to decide if we're going to pay to react, or pay to be proactive." - @AOC

@AOC my goddamn hero ❤️

Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez gave an impassioned speech during a committee hearing in response to Republicans push-back on her climate change policy, the Green New Deal

It ain’t counterpunching if the guy you’re attacking has been dead for seven months.

If you’re a Minnesota resident,
call Warren Limmer’s office and demand that he hears the two gun violence prevention bills (universal background checks and extreme risk protection orders) that passed the Minnesota House in the Senate Public Safety Committee.

Our nation's leaders should have acted to end gun violence after Sandy Hook.
After Charleston.
After San Bernardino.
After Pulse.
After Sutherland Springs.
After Las Vegas.
After the Tree of Life Synagogue.
After Parkland.
After Thousand Oaks.

How many more?

Until today I was one of the New Zealanders who owned a semi-automatic rifle. On the farm they are a useful tool in some circumstances, but my convenience doesn’t outweigh the risk of misuse.

We don’t need these in our country.

We have make sure it’s #NeverAgain

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

Imagine.

[Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen]

BREAKING: New Zealand Attorney General David Parker confirms at vigil that NZ government will ban semi-automatic guns.

Just like that. Take note, GOP.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

New Zealand bans semiautomatic rifles less than 24 hours after the Christchurch mass shooting. Imagine: elected officials putting public safety over gun manufacturers’ profits.

Americans deserve better than lawmakers who are letting gun lobbyists write our nation’s gun laws.

[Andrea Junker @Strandjunker]

Still unanswered: Why did Justice Kennedy retire so abruptly? What role did his son’s job at Deutsche Bank play? Who paid off Brett Kavanaugh’s $92,000 country club fees plus his $200,000 credit card debt plus his $1.2 million mortgage, and purchased themselves a SCOTUS seat?

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

It's easy to grow numb to numbers: "thousands of kids" separated, perhaps forever, from their parents. Remember each of those kids, each of those parents is a human being, with all the same hopes, needs and right to health and happiness as you. We must not make them just numbers.

Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves, and, under a just God, cannot long retain it. ~Abraham Lincoln

I'm guessing thoughts and prayers.

[Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 @joncoopertweets]

I bet @realDonaldTrump was FURIOUS when he learned that the crowd at his pro-wall rally in El Paso was HALF THE SIZE of the crowd at @BetoORourke’s anti-wall rally.

[Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell]

This man. This giant of a man.

‘We have a system that is fundamentally broken.’ — Rep. @AOC is explaining just how f*cked campaign finance laws really are

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

“We didn't elect people to pray for us,” Houston Police Chief @ArtAcevedo on lawmakers who haven’t acted to stop gun violence. Four Houston police officers were shot – one for a third time during his 25-year career – during a shootout on Monday. #txlege
