@SenTedCruz Your thoughts and prayers are meaningless without actions to go along with them.
You would be the guy who drowns while waiting for God to save him, sending away all the boats God sends his way.
YOU have the power to pass meaningful laws, unless your 'power' > children's lives.

The moment to stop Uvalde was right after Sandy Hook. After Santa Fe High. After El Paso.

Instead, Abbott made it easier to carry guns in public.

The moment to stop the next slaughter is right now.

@EvanMcMullin What is your plan to change minds and push legislation on this? All of our hearts ache and have for years. That means nothing without concrete action and change. You're preaching to the choir here.

[Cathy Cunningham @cathy_crone]

@viscariot @POTUS The president doesn't pass laws. This is on @HouseGOP @HouseDemocrats @SenateDems @SenateGOP . They need to figure out the bare minimum they can agree on and pass something today. Show you give a damn about something beyond your own power for once.

Edible forks... I think you're on to something here!

We do not comb our hair with forks.

Seriously, can you teach the dog to fetch a ball? You both chase it, but he never returns it.

You shouldn't be allowed to throw a tantrum because YOU threw your pacifier and now YOU can't find it (2 inches to your right)

Use the same technique to catch a running toddler or a cat. Chase it into a room, shut the door, then bide your time. They will eventually come to you.

Husband *hands toddler an air pump.

Toddler *walks away smiling

Me: You realize you just handed over a toddler sized billy club, right?

Husband: Oh shit!
*runs after toddler.

Watching you learn to walk is like watching my drunk friends try to remember how sober people walk

I don't negotiate with terrorists.

@abbie_b_elliott I say free menstrual products for all. Some placrs give dudes free condoms for something they might choose to do, but something women have no choice but to deal with every month we have to pay our hard earned wages for? Choosing between necessities & pads shouldn't be a thing.

[Cathy Cunningham @cathy_crone]

You fetch better than the dog.

Me: Do not hit the dog with Zebra

15 m/o: *grabs Lion toy, giggles*

Me: Don't hit the dog with ANY of your animals. I did not expect to have to specify that.

15 m/o: takes off sock, stuffs it down my shirt

Me: 1) Mommy is not a stripper and 2) strippers don't take socks as payment

Husband: Be gentle with the baby, like with the kitty.

15 m/o: *Pets her baby cousin*

If you're going to keep killing people you're going to have to learn to crawl over dead bodies.
