Exhilarating!

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

The @GOP want you to be silent as they roll back the rights Americans have fought so hard for.

They want you to be silent as they ban books but promote AR-15s.

They want you to be silent as they label American history as an “agenda.”

Don’t be.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

If guns made us safer, America would be the safest place in the world.

But the opposite is true. Nowhere else do students, concertgoers and bank patrons get slaughtered on a daily basis.

Because as it turns out, it's all the guns that make us so unsafe.

The shooting in Louisville today was the 146th mass shootings in the United States in which four or more people were shot and killed or wounded, not including the shooter, leaving more than 200 people killed and more than 560 wounded.

“The fight for justice is worth it...I believe several generations from now, we will look back at this moment as a turning point in the history for this country."

@Justinjpearson on the power of activism.

[Ben Crump @AttorneyCrump]

Action MUST be taken! Rep. Justin Pearson is speaking for the people of Tennessee who don’t want to see gun violence take the lives of innocent children! This young man is speaking his truth to power — we must demand he be reinstated BACK to the legislature!

[Middle Church @middlechurch]

“The other Jesus? The white, Aryan, bearer of AR-15s—the hater of women, queer folks, Jews, Black people, poor people?

We need to bury that Jesus. We don’t have time to play with hatred pretending to be love.” - @RevJacquiLewis

Contemplative theologian #BeatriceBruteau beautifully describes something I also believe: "The kingdom is hidden right here, even in the illusions of our superficial consciousness. When we are shaken awake, we see it." #DailyMeditations https://t.co/AKZxtqAp19

[Equal Justice Initiative @eji_org]

On this day in 1913, President Woodrow Wilson authorized overt racial segregation in federal employment. Federal endorsement of Jim Crow policies was a significant blow to Black civil rights. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. https://t.co/gpncD2UOk2

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

So this is a thing. I’m so happy we had the opportunity to talk about the gun violence problem on a national stage. We must act now. These young people (and their parents) want us to act now to save lives!

[Mary Pat Brennan @mpbrennan]

Excellent!

Low Income Energy Efficiency - on the way to the Governor’s Desk! This #EnergyJustice legislation will significantly increase our investment in energy efficiency for households that struggle the most to pay their energy bills. #MDGA23 #Working4MD @HealthyHousing @NRDC

[Rep. Justin Jones @brotherjones_]

When you get off the plane with the legendary Joan Baez you know it’s a movement of the spirit. She stands with us in our struggle in Tennessee and said she’s hopeful to see young voices leading.

“WE SHALL OVERCOME…”

Serendipitous, indeed.

[Mary Pat Brennan @mpbrennan]

@VoteGloriaJ @brotherjones_ Amen!

[Mary Pat Brennan @mpbrennan]

This is wonderful news!

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

THEY DID IT!!! Washington @MomsDemand and @StudentsDemand volunteers just helped pass HB 1240, which prohibits the sale and manufacture of assault-style rifles in the state, including semiautomatic rifles with detachable magazines. #waleg

[Adam Frisch - Win The Center/Win Back Rural USA @AdamForColorado]

When the 2022 results came in, the talking heads on TV couldn’t believe their eyes.

With no support from national Dems and being outspent by Boebert, we came 546 votes short of winning.

I'm running again, but I need you to give $10 or more now to help me defeat Lauren Boebert.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Do you (or someone you know) vote in Wisconsin?

It's Election Day!

Spread the word: vote Judge Janet Protasiewicz to protect our democracy and defend reproductive freedom. https://t.co/xjaTvS28P0

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

Honored to join this conversation with President Zelenskyy and this bipartisan group of Governors from across the country.

We stand with Ukraine as they defend their freedom and way of life. 🇺🇸🇺🇦

BREAKING: Governor DeSantis just signed permitless carry into law behind closed doors, probably because he knows it’s dangerous & unpopular.

This bill was rushed through the legislature—and DeSantis signed it quietly with the NRA’s support and against Floridians’ wishes. #flleg
