“I will continue to honor Grant by living by our shared values,” writes @celinegounder of her late husband. “I’m channeling my grief into something productive: protecting the public’s health against those who would profit from the suffering of others.” https://t.co/Fa6MoSwMl5
Grant Wahl leaves the world a sterling example of how to work with compassion, vigor, and humanity.
And how to live life that way, too.

The odds of an American dying by gun are about 1 in 315. If those were the odds of winning a lottery, we'd all be rich. Instead, Americans must live with a preventable fear suffered nowhere else in the developed world. https://t.co/YSlmDb1c51
If more guns and fewer gun laws made us safer, America would be the safest nation in the world.
But 400,000,000 guns in the hands of civilians coupled with weak gun laws have given us a 25 times higher gun homicide rate than any peer nation.
It’s the fucking guns.
WE DON’T EVEN HAVE FUCKING TIME TO COPE WITH ONE MASS SHOOTING TRAGEDY BEFORE ANOTHER ONE HAPPENS. I CAN’T REMEMBER THEM OR WHEN THEY HAPPENED OR WHY. THIS IS CHAOS.
.@laurenboebert you have played a major role in elevating anti-LGBT+ hate rhetoric and anti-trans lies while spending your time in Congress blocking even the most common sense gun safety laws.
You don’t get to “thoughts and prayers” your way out of this. Look inward and change.
HOW YOU LIKE THEM APPLES? 56% of #midterms2022 voters support stronger gun laws, according to exit polls - “a far cry from a decade ago, when Democrats feared pro-gun voters would overwhelm gun safety proponents and punish them at the ballot box for passing tougher gun laws.”
