@Jeopardy On Celebrity Jeopardy, @roywoodjr played for @eyeseeme, but you misspelled it as “Iseeme” on the screen. @eyeseeme is an incredible organization in the Saint Louis region and deserves to have its name spelled right on a show as dedicated to accuracy as yours.

@BitesOfNet @iMarkkeyz where you at?

My name is Kristin Song.

On January 31, 2018, my son Ethan was shot in the head in his best friend's house. The father/gun owner stored 3 handguns and ammunition in a shoebox. Ethan's friend had been accessing the guns for over 6 months.

At the hospital, the ER doctor slid down the wall, put his head in his hands, and whispered, "Your son is gone." At that instant, all I knew, loved and trusted was imploded into a million tiny pieces.

I begged to say goodbye to my beautiful boy. I wanted to kiss his forehead, tell him how cherished he was, and tuck him in one last time. But the doctor begged me to remember Ethan as he was, you see, he was unrecognizable even to my eyes.

The day before Thanksgiving in 2018, the prosecutor told me she would not charge the negligent gun owner, and if I wanted negligent gun owners to be held accountable, I would have to change the law.

So I did.

6 months later, Connecticut passed Ethan's Law, which requires gun owners to secure their weapons if children can gain access.

Then, I learned that so many states stood silent on this issue, so in 2019, I turned my attention to passing Ethan's Law nationally. I met with over 400 congressional offices, 130 of them Republican.

In 2022, Ethan's Law was passed in the House of Representatives as part of the Safer Communities Act. Sadly, it was not picked up in the final package.

When the Democrats lost the House of Representatives in 2023, I pivoted to passing safe gun storage laws in the States. As a result, Michigan, New Mexico, and Maryland passed safe storage laws.

Currently, I am working with 5 states to pass Ethan's Law.

I am emotionally and mentally exhausted, but I will not stop until there is a cultural shift in this country where it becomes second nature to secure your weapons around unsupervised children.

If you believe in protecting children from gun violence, please follow and repost.

To my non-Jewish progressive friends, I am begging you to not allow the truths of your critiques blind you to the reality of your own antisemitism.

The work of the Jewish community is to not allow the antisemitism of our critics to blind us to the truths within their critiques.

@AlderSheenBean Hostages?

@mercat @TessYocom My kids love these.

@EdKrassen @RepCori These children must be rescued. I am your constituent.

BREAKING: Hamas has reportedly just released this footage showing their militants with children they allegedly kidnapped.

In the video they also appear to make a child repeat an antisemitic word before he can drink his water.

How can anyone support this insanity, this evil, and this pain that is being caused to children and their families?

These kids are the definition of “innocent.” They have done nothing wrong to anyone.

To believe that Israel has no right to attack back, or try and rescue these children is absurd!

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but I will never take my car to anywhere other than St. Louis Auto and Truck Repair. And you should, too.

[Isaac Pollack @impollack]

I can’t mentally process anything past getting the hostages home.

@ksdknews She’s wrong.

Too many people on this stupid app can’t tell the difference between innocent Palestinian people and terrorists like Hamas. Stop conflating the two. You’re not helping. I have family in Gaza. They hate Hamas. They are not torturing women and parading their dead bodies around. The people doing that are not “innocent Palestinians” They are evil and monstrous terrorists. This should not be difficult.
