Sir— you voted to expel the two youngest Black legislators in our state because we protested with our constituents calling for common sense gun laws. Meanwhile, you shielded your Republican Vice-Chair who was sexually harassing an intern until it became public. That’s corruption.
BREAKING: Gavin Newson has just proposed the 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution.
The 28th Amendment will take 4 gun safety measures and enshrine them in our Constitution. They are as follows:
1) It will raise the minimum age to purchase any gun to 21 years of age
2) It will require that there is a reasonable waiting period for gun purchases
3) It will require Universal background checks
4) It will ban the civilian purchase of assault weapons
Here are my thoughts:
I personally would change #4 to not ban all purchases, but make it much more difficult for the average American to purchase such a weapon. Make them jump through hoops.
I would also add a stipulation that all Guns should be insured.
Would you support this Amendment? Why or why not?
If I have to explain to my kid why this is necessary in school, then I don’t care that you have to explain to your kid why Target has a Pride section. Seriously, not one bit.

A hospital ran an active shooter drill, including having 2 workers pose as gunmen.
But the hospital bosses didn't tell staff or the cops they would be doing the drill.
Now one of the 2 workers, a Black man, is suing because cops almost shot him.

I’m an emergency medicine doctor. When you come to my ER, I will take care of you even if your beliefs are different than mine. My job is to take care of patients.
If you would deny a patient care because they have different beliefs than you, then you should not be in medicine
Trump hosted Kyle Rittenhouse after he killed Black Lives Matter protesters.
Greg Abbott wants to pardon Daniel Perry, who murdered a Black Lives Matter protester.
Ron DeSantis is fundraising for Daniel Penny, who killed a Black man on a subway.
This is the Republican Party.
Someone used the line “we all have the same 24 hours” today on me when we were talking about exercising and meal prep. I asked him how he managed to get in his 2 hours at the gym after work with his disabled child who needs 24/7 supervision. He said “oh”.
I do not— I really really cannot— understand what makes some people believe they are above homelessness. That if the wrong circumstances happened, it wouldn���t be them. The inability to think “that could be me, here’s how I would want to be treated” is fucking moral rot.
I kept her from injuring herself. And I got her sugar (icing from the cafeteria) and an ambulance. She woke up before the ambulance. Now I can’t imagine…what if someone instead of seeing it as a medical emergency, felt threatened and put her in a chokehold and killed her?
When I was in high school, my friend Shannon who had diabetes was low on sugar. She started to say very strange things at first. Before we could get her help, she started to scream and rammed herself against a bunch of tables and chairs. Then she proceeded to pass out.
