one of my favorite excerpts from my interview with @StephenAtHome. This question he embraces left me stunned when i first read it, and i can’t stop thinking about his answer. It has helped me, and i hope it helps others.
"South Africa…banned automatic rifles, instituted background checks, permits, licenses," says Dr. Vin Gupta. "In the next 5 years, there was a 13.6% decline on average per year in…firearm deaths."
"Austria passed a similar law and saw a similar result." https://t.co/yGt7m26ZBz
Important to remember... Epstein’s universe was NOT partisan. It ranges across the some most powerful people in the world - royals, corporate leaders, politicians, wall street giants, scientists, academics & socialites.
Two weeks ago I warned about a coming economic downturn. Since then, we've already seen more signs that our economy is in precarious condition and that Trump's rhetoric and actions are pushing us closer to the brink.

Tonight, organized by @MFOLKentucky in front of @senatemajldr’s Louisville office, concerned citizens gathered to honor the lives of all of those we lost to gun violence this past weekend.
@senatemajldr, the students of KY want action. You are a public servant. Do your job.
If you work for Fox News, advertise on Fox News, or support Fox News in any way, you are enabling the spread of White Nationalism in America and probably making a pretty penny doing so. https://t.co/v5pTrNIlDz
As a white person in the USA, I have to admit that white people here have used white supremacy for political gain for generations. White people in the USA, all of us, need to stop letting politicians use white supremacy to get votes. #StopWhiteTerrorism
We know what Trump is doing. He stokes racism. He incites violence. We shouldn’t be asking if there’s anything he can do or if he’s responsible for this when we know the answer. I stand by what I said.

In March, I was asked about the increase in hate crimes since the election of Donald Trump. I want to be very clear: White supremacists pose a threat to the United States like any other terrorist group—and we need to use the full force of the Justice Department to go after them.
Video games aren’t causing mass shootings, white supremacy is.
Sadly the GOP refuse to acknowledge that, bc their strategy relies on rallying a white supremacist base.
That‘s why the President hosts stadiums of people chanting “send her back”& targets Congress-members of color.
@AOC "Because the US Congress doesn't have a statute for us for domestic terrorism like we do on a foreign terrorist organization like ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Al-Shaba." It seems like this is the root cause of the labeling issue, no? @AOC, is anyone working on that statute?
@AOC Congress has to act in order to allow the FBI to label these attacks as domestic terrorism. The FBI and Justice Department are following the law in their labeling. Can someone give us a status on what congress is doing on this?
