It is a false dichotomy to suggest that the question of the former president’s disqualification under the Fourteenth Amendment presents the binary question of whether his disqualification is anti-democratic and anti-Rule of Law or democratic and Rule of Law.

My name is Kristin Song.

On January 31, 2018, my son Ethan was shot in the head in his best friend's house. The father/gun owner stored 3 handguns and ammunition in a shoebox. Ethan's friend had been accessing the guns for over 6 months.

At the hospital, the ER doctor slid down the wall, put his head in his hands, and whispered, "Your son is gone." At that instant, all I knew, loved and trusted was imploded into a million tiny pieces.

I begged to say goodbye to my beautiful boy. I wanted to kiss his forehead, tell him how cherished he was, and tuck him in one last time. But the doctor begged me to remember Ethan as he was, you see, he was unrecognizable even to my eyes.

The day before Thanksgiving in 2018, the prosecutor told me she would not charge the negligent gun owner, and if I wanted negligent gun owners to be held accountable, I would have to change the law.

So I did.

6 months later, Connecticut passed Ethan's Law, which requires gun owners to secure their weapons if children can gain access.

Then, I learned that so many states stood silent on this issue, so in 2019, I turned my attention to passing Ethan's Law nationally. I met with over 400 congressional offices, 130 of them Republican.

In 2022, Ethan's Law was passed in the House of Representatives as part of the Safer Communities Act. Sadly, it was not picked up in the final package.

When the Democrats lost the House of Representatives in 2023, I pivoted to passing safe gun storage laws in the States. As a result, Michigan, New Mexico, and Maryland passed safe storage laws.

Currently, I am working with 5 states to pass Ethan's Law.

I am emotionally and mentally exhausted, but I will not stop until there is a cultural shift in this country where it becomes second nature to secure your weapons around unsupervised children.

If you believe in protecting children from gun violence, please follow and repost.

Rudolph gets all the love so let’s talk about the names of Santa’s other reindeer.

prancer | noun | one that walks or moves in a spirited manner

Ok, those three are easy to understand.

[Loudoun Community Cat Coalition @loudouncats]

Little Junie is still looking for her forever family!

June is the last of her country music siblings. She's a beautiful pitch black, shiny, four-month-old kitten, with deep golden eyes. June is a picture-perfect house panther. June's brothers have been adopted, leaving June as the solo foster. This has turned out to be the best possible scenario for her. She is now coming into her own after being bullied by her three rambunctious brothers. Since their departure, June is now becoming a people-oriented kitten. She loves to wind around legs, sit in laps, purr big purrs, and nap in the humans' bed during the afternoon. She tolerates having her belly rubbed and nibbles on fingers. June has lots of fun playing with a laser and her mechanical fish. She runs through the house like a sprinter when hearing the cat food cabinet open.

June can be in a house with (safe) dogs, another quieter cat or two, or solo, if her person will be home a lot and provide her with love and attention. Let's find her a perfect home!
