“I’m often asked what got me involved in this work, and the answer is quite simple: I didn’t want to get shot in school.”

@RepMaxwellFrost on what inspired him to join the movement to end gun violence in America.

[Olivia Julianna 🇺🇸🦅🗳️ @0liviajulianna]

Twice impeached President comes to defense of Impeached Attorney General.

They should start a support group lmao

[MothersAgainstGregAbbottPAC/MothersforDemocracyPAC @MomsAGAbbott]

We are going to start a hearing thread and we will update throughout the day. Just this one thread.

[MothersAgainstGregAbbottPAC/MothersforDemocracyPAC @MomsAGAbbott]

It’s so cute how he blames liberal lawyers, Biden 3x, RINOS, Alejandro Mayorkas, Chuck Schumer, calling Democrats extremists. When Republicans have control of all state offices, the House and the Senate.

Why, oh why, did you have to leave us, Molly Ivins?

[The Antipinterester @antipinterester]

Dallas @MomsDemand mtg today to talk about how to get involved in gun violence prevention. We can create a safer country, and safer communities, but it will take all of us.

[Amber Briggle (she/they) @mrsbriggle]

Sir, my son (who is trans) isn't "after" anyone. He's literally just a teenager trying to live his best life. It's the #txgop who is after him – and I'm fighting like hell to stop you because HE MATTERS.

Also: stop obsessing about fertility & genitals of CHILDREN, you weirdo.

[Texas Gun Sense @txgunsense]

Families & survivors from #uvalde showed up at the #txlege at 8am for a 9am hearing on gun safety, including legislation to raise the age to 21 to purchase semiautomatic rifles - which they have been asking for since their loved ones were murdered. 🧵

[Senator Roland Gutierrez @RolandForTexas]

FYI @DanPatrick, this is what real leadership looks like.

Thank you Speaker @DadePhelan
and Chairman @RyanGuillen for allowing this hearing to happen.

BUT most of all thank you Rep. Tracy King. Thank you for giving these families the opportunity to tell their stories during their testimonies on #HB2744. #EnoughIsEnough #txlege

[Senator Sarah Eckhardt @SarahEckhardtTX]

We love seeing @MomsDemand red shirts all over the Capitol today. While our legislature has yet to pass real #commonsensegunreform LIKE THE MAJORITY OF TEXANS WANT, these moms aren't giving up & neither are we! #txlege

[Students Demand Action @StudentsDemand]

We walked out of school today because we’re #FedUp with guns being the #1 killer of our generation.

We do not accept gun violence as normal. Join us our work to #EndGunViolence: Text STUDENTS to 644-33.

[MothersAgainstGregAbbottPAC/MothersforDemocracyPAC @MomsAGAbbott]

One of the best things about Austin way back when was its very famous drag show, A Greater Tuna. One of our favorites and so funny! Men have been performing in drag since the Greek empire. That was before Jesus. So this nonsense needs to stop. This is non issue. #txlege

[jane @moderatemama]

TX kids are in the crosshairs of "school marshall's" whoopsie with a gun - AGAIN. TX GOP said arming teachers, cafeteria workers & janitors would make our kids safer. IT'S NOT! #DoYourJob #txlege @momsdemand #TXMajority

[Lipstick, Booze & Backstage Passes @LizSeccuro]

So, without telling anyone, Dave Grohl brought his giant smoker and cooked/fed barbecue and sides for 500 folks at Hope Mission in L.A. during the storms. Paid for it all. Worked 16 hours. So, when the aliens get here and ask “who’s in charge?”, I think we take them to Dave Grohl.

[Steph Lundy @TexasLundy]

Texas @MomsDemand volunteers have been holding the #Txlege accountable over the past #10YearsOfMoms. In 2013 one of our founding members walked into a room of jeering & shouting gun extremists to implore Texas lawmakers to take action to #EndGunViolence. We kept going . . . 🧵

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

Hate when that happens. I was attacked and screamed at in 2018 by an insane woman named Marjorie Taylor Greene. She had no respect for the privacy of me as an 18 year old school shooting survivor or my staff.
She was self righteous, insane, and completely out of control.
