Whoever told me to try Truly count your days. Not to be dramatic but I think I burned a hole in my esophagus.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Why even be in Congress if you don’t believe in doing your job?

Just quit and let someone who actually gives a damn do it instead of acting like a useless piece of furniture when babies are shot with AR15s that we let teen boys impulse buy before they can legally have a beer.

Those parents are going through the most horrific trauma imaginable. To lose a baby in such a way. Just can't even imagine going through this.

NEW: Families in Uvalde are having to get their DNA swabbed because the bodies of the dead children are so unrecognizable because of the military-style weaponry used by the shooter, per @AnayeliNews.

Ugh that's horrific 😢

[Public Citizen @Public_Citizen]

Today is the 144th day of 2022.

The Uvalde shooting is the 212th mass shooting of 2022.

Gun violence is a public health crisis.

“There’s no such thing as a lone wolf…There are only those people who, fed a steady diet of violent propaganda and stochastic terror, take annihilatory rhetoric to its logical conclusion.”

I don’t know who this Lyft driver is but he deserves an award and a seat in Congress.

The thought of power going out in Texas is so scary. So many people are already going missing. Can't imagine what that would be like. If you live there find a way to protect yourself and communicate with others asap.

No dressing is better than ranch. Everything I try is just 🤢

[Madison Carter @madisonlcarter]

Just got a call from a source briefed by law enforcement in Buffalo.

They confirmed the shooter is a known white supremacist and drove into town from Broome county targeting this grocery store knowing it was in a predominately Black area of town.

[Carter Walker @ByCarterWalker]

I am truly at a loss on this as I have never experienced anything like it. This weekend I am running a story on the rise in hate crimes in PA, which in part deals with issues in the @statepolice__ database. Overnight, after my I sent inquiry, nearly 200 hate crimes were deleted.

[Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings]

The same baby formula producer that had contaminated product and led to this shortage used billions of dollars to buy back stock instead of investing in their product safety. Putting profits before the safety of our children is unacceptable.

[Jemele Hill @jemelehill]

Meanwhile here in America, we have a justice freaking out because of a protest in front of his house organized by his neighbors where wine and cheese was served … and a Maine congresswoman who called the police because somebody put a chalk message on her sidewalk.

[Citizens for Ethics @CREWcrew]

Ginni Thomas sent messages to the White House about a plan to get the Supreme Court to overturn the election.

Clarence Thomas voted to keep White House messages about the insurrection secret.

And you think a leaked draft opinion is the ethics crisis facing the Supreme Court?

[Misfit Minimalist 🌎 @misfitminimalst]

This is the energy I need in my life 🤣😍

[BigBackaveli @xIKEaveli]

Them Top Flite drinks undefeated 🤣😂🤣😂

[Laura Bassett @LEBassett]

Fittingly, in his leaked draft decision overturning Roe, Justice Alito relies on a 17th century English jurist who had two women executed for witchcraft and said it should be legal for husbands to rape their wives.

I wrote about it for Jez:

Republicans are screaming about “freedom” at the exact same time they’re ripping away women’s rights to make private health care decisions, enacting laws censoring mentions of LGBTQ people, and censoring discussions on race.

It’s not about freedom. It’s about power and control.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

As we’ve warned, SCOTUS isn’t just coming for abortion - they’re coming for the right to privacy Roe rests on, which includes gay marriage + civil rights.

Manchin is blocking Congress codifying Roe. House has seemingly forgotten about Clarence Thomas. These 2 points must change

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

NEW: The draft majority opinion overturning Roe v. Wade that just leaked also explicitly criticizes Lawrence v. Texas (which ended laws that banned gay sex) and Obergefell v. Hodges (which legalized same-sex marriage). Alito claims they are not “deeply rooted in history.”

Take things slow. The week just started. Mondays throw a lot at you at once. No need to rush anything.
