I never imagined I’d see the day when countries like the UK, France, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Uruguay would warn their citizens about the danger of being gunned down if they travel to the United States.

A TALE OF TWO DIFFERENT VISIONS FOR AMERICA:
Under Greg Abbotts leadership, Texas has banned more books than *any* state in America, while simultaneously suffering from an unprecedented epidemic of mass shootings.
At the same time, Abbott has cut hundreds of millions in mental health services, and refuses to enact *any* gun control, despite the vast majority being in favor of reasonable gun control.
Meanwhile, in Illinois, Governor @JBPritzker and Secretary of State @Giannoulias are leading by showing there’s a better way.
J.B. just passed an assault weapon ban, and Alexis first-in-the nation legislation to combat book bans by defunding book banners is setting an example for the rest of the country to follow.
The 2nd Amendment does *not* prohibit reasonable gun control.
The 1st Amendment *does* prohibit censorship.
As Alexi recently said, “ban the tools of war, not tools of education.”
Drop a ❤️ if you agree with Alexi @Giannoulias and @GovPritzker’s leadership and vision for America over Greg Abbotts.
In Idaho you can't donate organs from someone who died w/o their prior consent—but Idaho's new abortion bill would force an 11-year-old rape victim to have her rapists child w/o her consent.
In short, even a corpse in Idaho has more rights over its body than do women & girls.😳
The tornadic storm of December 10th, 2021 will always be subject to scientific research for two main reasons:
1. It is a major climatological outlier for wintertime (no other event compares to it)
2. Its longevity is perhaps unmatched by any other tornadic storm in history.
