@lesliepwriter This absolutely freaked me out.

[Robin Gaines @robinbgaines]

@JMCwrites @RedPencilScript Can someone explain why querying right now is so awful? Less staff? COVID backlog? The market?

If it can happen in Sandy Hook, Parkland, Santa Fe, Santa Clarita, Uvalde, & Michigan State University, then it can happen anywhere. Act before it happens to you.

[Jack Cocchiarella 🌹 @JDCocchiarella]

The freedom to not be killed at school is more important than the freedom to own an assault weapon.

I just talked to a friend at MSU & she is sheltering in place with her friends right now. I don't know who needs to hear this, but this is not normal. Young people shouldn't have to fear for their lives at school. But we do because Republicans are completely beholden to the NRA.

[Lily Altavena @lilyalta]

I know Oxford survivors who attend MSU. Thinking of them tonight and the tapestry of gun violence young adults of this generation experience.

Michigan was a GOP-controlled state for over a decade until just one month ago. We’re looking forward to passing stronger gun laws there this session. To join us, text READY to 644-33.

This is what a college campus looks like tonight in America.

Tomorrow marks five years since the shooting in Parkland.

Tonight, the nation is watching as another shooting unfolds at Michigan State University.

We don’t have to live like this.

We don't want your fucking thoughts and prayers

Sincerely, all of Michigan State University.

Hey, #GOP: Be sure to remove your oh-so-sassy assault rifle lapel pins before sending those thoughts and prayers to Michigan State University tonight. #MSU #lansing #michiganstate

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Michigan does not:
Require background checks for long guns
Have a red flag law
Disarm domestic abusers
Restrict assault weapons
Limit magazine capacity
Regulate open carry

Women in America are now only as safe as the closest state with the weakest laws - from guns to abortion to maternal health to domestic violence to economic security.

The most important election of our lifetimes is SEVEN WEEKS from Tuesday on Nov 8. We need you to help us GOTV.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

The same SCOTUS that said yesterday that states don’t have the ability to regulate guns today gave states the power to regulate women’s bodies.

[Maria Shriver @mariashriver]

I have watched this several times. “Sir, you are out of line.” We all need to get out of line. The line we’ve been waiting in isn’t moving. The line we’ve been waiting in is stalled. Get out of line, speak up. We’ve waited in line for too long.

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

Here's an idea- How about instead of regulating gay kids, women, and books about slavery, you fucking regulate the gun that killed 17 at my high school and over 20 little kids at sandy hook.

Omarr's hands were shaking as he checked his bar exam results. But his mom's reaction takes the cake ❤️

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Sixteen children and a teacher were murdered 26 years ago today at Dunblane Primary School in Scotland. UK leaders took decisive legislative action, including an assault weapons ban.

There has not been a mass shooting at a school in the UK since 1996. https://t.co/cuiukstMS1

Merry Christmas from the #NRA #oxfordhighschool

It’s so weird when voters are like, “Democrats can’t clean up the horrific mess Republicans made fast enough so we should elect more Republicans.”
