Did anyone else realize that Doug from @Nickelodeon turned into a real boy, grew up and married @KamalaHarris? 😍

Five years ago today, 51 people were shot and killed with an assault weapon in New Zealand.

This was the deadliest attack in modern NZ history, but the response to it was different to what we see after mass shootings in America…swift government action to ban assault weapons.

Such great work happening here!

The new psychology team at the Penn Trauma Violence Recovery Program has already provided about 46 survivors with short- and long-term therapy.

About last Friday night… It was a great honor to be on the floor with the @sixers!

🩺 @PennMedicine spotlight:

We recognize Sunny Jackson, the Injury Prevention Coordinator for the Trauma Center at Penn Medicine, where she focuses on the prevention of traumatic injuries. Sunny is a registered nurse who has cared for patients with traumatic injuries for 18 years.

Her programs at Penn’s Trauma Center include Stop the Bleed, which trains bystanders how to save a life if someone experiences a bleed emergency and the Penn Trauma Violence Recovery Program, which provides holistic support and connects individuals to services in their community that will help them thrive after injury. This summer, Sunny anticipates launching a safe firearm storage program, providing gun safes to residents of Philadelphia to ensure their firearms are protected from unauthorized use.

I did a thing 😁

[UPenn Trauma @UPennTrauma]

Congratulations to Trauma Injury Prevention Coordinator Sunny Jackson on recently completing a certificate program in trauma-informed clinical practice @nyuniversity. We are excited to explore how her new knowledge and skills can improve care for our patients.

The suffering of our people is not your effing side show.

[Sean Duffy @ProfDuff]

One thing as this place collapses I can not stand is folks from the suburbs driving into Philly and going to Kensington to film folks with addictions. Like it’s a form of devastation porn I will never understand. I’m not even going to link to it, it’s such garbage.

@elliotthaut Your trauma patient is so “lucky”

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

BREAKING: The gun used in yesterday’s Louisville bank shooting was an AR-15-style rifle, federal law enforcement says.

The SAME gun more than 30 law enforcement officers were AFRAID to confront in Uvalde that left 19 children dead.

The SAME gun that’s been
the weapon of choice in many of the most horrific mass shootings in recent memory, including the Covenant school shooting in Nashville just two weeks ago.

The SAME gun brandished by Republican radicals like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert.

The SAME gun worn as a pin on the lapels of disgusting GOP lawmakers.

This is what we need to scream everywhere:

If 30 armed officers wearing full tactical gear with ballistic shields are too afraid to confront a single gunman with an AR-15, they SHOULD NOT be in the hands of civilians.

We have the answer. It’s the guns.

BAN ASSAULT RIFLES NOW.

Every second counts during a severe bleeding emergency. Here's how to stop the bleed in just four steps.

People who disagree… what are you compensating for?

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Let’s ban assault weapons again.

[Sunny Jackson @PeacePhilly_]

@bone00afide Clearly she’s at an @Eagles game.

[Sunny Jackson @PeacePhilly_]

We would rather force our children to use a litter box, than control guns. Where are our #priorities ?

@ElinoreJKaufman @EAST_TRAUMA @pennsurgery @PennTrauma @surgeryspice Congratulations!

Congrats on all the hard work that went into making this program a success! Now let’s see it grow 📈

[Sunny Jackson @PeacePhilly_]

@Mr_4thDistrict you are incredibly misguided if you think that proximity to a trauma center is the solution to saving lives in the midst of our gun violence crisis. Measures to control guns, address mental health, and strengthen our communities are what is needed so desperately.

[Sunny Jackson @PeacePhilly_]

The city’s Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual Disability Services has full service options for opioid addiction. Not sure how you see this as a refusal at address: https://t.co/tfNENjtIoC

[Sam Oropeza @SamOropezaPHL]

I met @DrOz along with other community leaders in Kensington to discuss the opioid epidemic

We spoke with individuals battling addiction and even accompanied two people to detox.

The Philly Political machine refuses to address this crisis & It’s time to hold them accountable.

Priorities

[Sunny Jackson @PeacePhilly_]

The parents are loving and they care. The system failed-the culture of systemic racism left the communities under supported and under resourced for generations. They’re working multiple jobstrying to keep their households together, and can’t be as present as you’d like them to be

[~Jon~ @jonk85]

@PhillyCrimeUpd Parents not caring = kids out in groups. If we can’t control kids at 7:20 pm, what do we really expect from the supposed “curfew”? The lack of parental guidance, and support system is the root of the issue with our youth problem in the city.
