UPDATE: The fatal victims in the Brooklyn mass shooting were Aaliyah Gonzales, 18, and Kylis Fagbemi, 20, says @BaltimorePolice, which also provides the age breakdown of the others who were shot - mostly teenagers, including two 13-year-olds. https://t.co/fBnvyA1WGO
BREAKING ELECTION NEWS: Fed judge halts new Florida law he calls 'latest assault' on voting.
Says “Florida is correct to seek integrity in our electoral system" but calls solutions from Republican-led legislature "too far removed from the problems"

I 100% agree with total debt cancellation, too
🚩 The idea that "Boomers got nearly free tuition" = MYTH.
Plenty of younger boomers were stuck with big college bills and student loans too.

Polymer80 dealers and distributors are now prohibited from selling unserialized gun kits in California
This helps keep "ghost guns" out of the hands of prohibited people - like felons & minors
It's not everything, but it's one step forward

Carrying that stupid killing machine around school children who've grown up practicing active shooter drills and who know that little kids just like them have been killed by men with big guns??
Terrifying teachers and parents, too??
What an idiot.
A man stood in a red MAGA cap pointing his AR-15-style rifle towards the sidewalk. An elementary school student ran home crying. Parents were terrified. He claims he was protesting gun-control legislation by open carrying around his neighborhood. https://t.co/BXaEWT5B7m
Good distinction @RealCedricDark Thank you. I've been conflicted on this
I hope the families have the appropriate emotional support they need to OK the photos, and move us forward
@CurtisFlex7130@ehanks2208 Amongst close friends I said this same thing yesterday. But we don’t need an Emmitt Till moment.
We need a Mamie Till moment. It was her decision to spark the movement, not a reporter’s or a social media influencer. But a mother.
Let’s the families decide.

Dear News Media,
Don't move to the #Brownsville SUV Massacre & neglect the #allentx Outlet Mall Massacre
America needs you to Investigate and Report on both
Pro-Gun politicians are PRAYING the shooting moves off the headlines fast
DO NOT HELP
#ItsTheGuns
https://t.co/LWhUP7cdFn
TX State Rep Jeff Leach is praying???
He must mean he's praying this news story disappears quick before #allentx voters connect the Outlet Mall Massacre to the Lax Gun Bills he writes
#AnotherMassShooting💔
#ItsTheGuns
This is Jeff Leach, co-author of the 2021 Texas Permitless Carry bill -- the #txlege State Rep. who represents #Allen, where 8 people were just killed in a mass shooting.
With all due respect, @leachfortexas, you're a state legislator -- & TX needs you to do more than pray.
If your Congressman or Senator tells you next week that we are helpless in the face of this carnage, and our gun laws are just fine as is, then decide to do one small thing, each week, to help elect his or her opponent.
Democracy is designed to fix a problem like this.
This month in the US, people were shot for ringing the wrong doorbell, getting into the wrong car, using a leaf blower, delivering food to the wrong address, driving into the wrong driveway, and for asking a neighbor to stop shooting so a baby could sleep.
It’s the fucking guns.
Just got a concerning message that I’m following up with the proper authorities about. For the record if I get shot and killed doing this work politicize the fuck out of my death immediately and use it to pass as many gun laws as possible.
📹 We appreciate you Dr. Jason Smith. Thank you for wearing your heart & pain on your sleeve.
You're WEARY. We're WEARY. All sensible people are WEARY. Everybody but the NRA GOP is so fukkin WEARY
#Louisville#147MassShootingsIn2023 and still counting
This sh!t got to stop
"There's only so many times you can walk into a room and tell someone they're not coming home tomorrow."
Louisville surgeon Dr. Jason Smith shared details of the emotional toll of treating gun violence victims in the wake of this week's mass shooting.

Rep. Justin Jones holds nothing back, calling Tennessee Republicans ‘drunk with power’ as they pursue his expulsion for standing with gun reform protesters.
We’re walking out of school on Wednesday because we’re fed up with thoughts and prayers without action. Fed up with the gun industry innovating to make guns deadlier. And fed up with guns killing our generation.
Organize a walkout at your school: https://t.co/t34Zgo8PKS
🚨One more time for the folks in Nashville:
STOP electing people who sit in the pocket of the NRA
They don't care about keeping America safe
They don't care how many of us die by gun
They do not care that these shootings leave us terrified, traumatized and terrorized
THIS is last year's Christmas card from Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles, a Republican who represents the district that Covenant School is in in Nashville. #tnleg
AMAZING: Live on Fox News, an angry mom at the Nashville School Shooting Press Conference, steps in front of the mic and gives an incredible speech.
Meanwhile Fox News is caught off guard and panics, trying to not show her on air. I'm sure the gun lobby and NRA aren't too happy.
The woman, named Ashbey Beasley
@CampBeasleywood
, was a Highland Park, Illinois shooting survivor, and said the following:
“Aren’t you guys tired of covering this? Aren’t you guys tired of being here and having to cover all these mass shootings? How is this still happening? How are our children still dying and why are we failing them? "These mass shootings will continue to happen until our lawmakers step up and pass gun safety legislation.”
Thank you!!
