@sarasidnerCNN I finished the same sequence of treatments 1.5 years ago. Not easy but I am alive and that is a gift! I now appreciate life so much more. Things like feeling the wind blow in my hair- amazing!! Please take care and know that there’s a whole bunch of us rooting for you.

@preventcancer @RepRaskin Thank you @RepRaskin for supporting the @preventcancer !

[Mary Himes @maryhimes]

@jaketapper I think I read yesterday on the CNN app that Peeps have an additive that has been linked to cancer as per Consumer Reports. You may want to re-think this Tweet.

@peterbakernyt This whole story is shameful. What you (& Mr. Barnes) fail to acknowledge is the horrendous fact that these efforts, if true, resulted in the hostages being held in horrific conditions for MONTHS longer than they might have been. How could you fail to address this?

@jahimes And raising money for breast cancer research! Thank you, Emma!!

[Mary Himes @maryhimes]

@NRO As a Canadian American I have to say this is complete bullshit. Shame on you for your lack of understanding of Canada. Talk about journalistic laziness…

@AlinejadMasih @hotdocs We just watched the film at home here in Toronto. It was spectacular! Thank you for being the voice of so many. Rave Iranian women!!

@kristencusato @VTConfidential @richcoppola8 @jahimes I hope the surgery goes well!

@GovNedLamont Thank you @GovNedLamont for sharing this. The more people who read it and are motivated to go to their healthcare provider to get life saving screenings and vaccinations the better!

Despite its “rule of law” statement following the January 6 coup, the NRA has a long history of promoting insurrection. You can’t have it both ways. ⁦@mmfa⁩ ⁦@NRA⁩ #NRAlies https://t.co/ZdgH50t0kV

@Bubblyjay2 @kasie Thank you for this!

[Mary Himes @maryhimes]

While you’re at it, pls ask Hollywood to stop making films that glorify violence, guns, and renegade heroes! @Alyssa_Milano @billyeichner @IssaRae

[NowThis Impact @nowthisimpact]

More than 100 film industry professionals including @BillyEichner, @IssaRae, and @Alyssa_Milano joined these gun safety orgs to demand that Hollywood stop funding NRA-backed candidates

We need a pro gun control constitutional narrative. Facts and stats aren’t enough. @MattxRed @fred_guttenberg

[The Atlantic @TheAtlantic]

Gun-rights activists have claimed the Constitutional narrative as their own. But gun-control advocates can use the document, too, and connect it "to those whose lives it governs and the values that motivate them," argue Joshua Feinzig and Joshua Zoffer. https://t.co/4EBixthb7t

Mass General steps into void to conduct gun violence research and start new programs like teaching doctors how to discuss gun safety with patients. Smart, necessary public health approach. @MassGeneralNews @BostonGlobe #stayinmylane #Enough

Forged in pain, new Mass. General gun violence center aims at prevention https://t.co/Ond2sTQuTZ via @BostonGlobe

This Burning Man artist built a temple and set it on fire this weekend to honor victims of the Parkland shooting. See photos of the blaze here: https://t.co/Y0hqLOu2rD

Save the Recordings of School Shootings https://t.co/nMGjG0o0AO Legislators who vote against universal background checks, more $ for research into gun violence should be forced to watch. Make them feel the kids' trauma before they vote. @BradyBuzz @GiffordsCourage #MyLastShot

@NickKristof Americans love & glorify heros. Just look at our movies & single shooter video games. I bet some view these brave, too young heros with more admiration than sadness. We need to change our culture before the laws will change. @unloadusa #STEMshooting @AMarch4OurLives

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

After yet another school shooting, consider this stat below. That's 1.45 million Americans dead from guns just since 1970--more than died in all wars in US history combined. We can't end gun deaths, but we can reduce them--with these sensible measures: https://t.co/ABWBrHJv7A

This is America today? This is not America. We are a nation of doers. Let’s act. Let’s pass legislation to stop the violence and stop the ongoing threat to our children at school. @CSGV @NewtownAction @GiffordsCourage @Everytown @bradybuzz #ENOUGH

[Coalition to Stop Gun Violence @CSGV]

Colorado needs a break.
America needs a break.

The news doesn’t even cut away for shootings at high schools anymore. We are numb to our children being shot at.
