optimistic social worker ready for an end to senseless gun violence

I am, once again, left speechless and angry. How is violence so prolific across our country? And how have we become so desensitized?

Will this even make national news tonight? Unfortunately, probably not. He’s a white guy. They were “just” women.

Also in the US today: a man went inside a Catholic supply store and ordered women inside to strip at gunpoint, and sexually assaulted several of them before shooting one of them in the head. She has since died. https://t.co/P2HrixXa9M h/t @_Autumn_Green_

Guns are the #1 cause of death for kids in America. Not cancer. Not car accidents. GUNS. The rate of child deaths is rising faster than ever before, driven by gun violence. Let’s break it down.

Gun violence has been the leading cause of death among people ages 15-34 in Peoria County, Illinois, since 1999. To counter this, community leaders teamed up with a prominent violence intervention program in 2021. This year, that organization collapsed. https://t.co/BLQT8y1hHC

Violence Intervention Programming WORKS! We know what it takes to end gun violence, we just need to invest in proven solutions. HUGE accomplishment in Baltimore!

Here is a list of 12 completely fictional stories Donald Trump has told in the last month alone.

Even calling these lies does not do them justice. The Republican presidential nominee is regularly delivering vivid tales that have no basis in reality: https://t.co/YS3k7WSoTb

A gut punch. Women on supervised release in abortion ban states can't travel for abortions, and some can't even order abortion pills because all their mail gets opened. Valuable, enraging perspective from an incarcerated writer in Texas:

@whalekjit Toilet paper.

[March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives]

Yeah we do have "after birth" executions they're called school shootings.

[Bradley Whitford @bradleywhitford]

Lots of talk about nonexistent post-birth abortion. No talk about the number one cause of death for actual children- guns.

Thank you President Biden (@JoeBiden) for being such a staunch supporter of gun reform. From the creation of the Office of Gun Violence Prevention to the passage of the first federal gun law in 30 years, you have made history and saved lives.

[Everytown @Everytown]

Thank you, President @JoeBiden, for leading the strongest gun safety administration in US history.

President Biden has done more to reduce gun violence than any president—signing the first federal gun safety law in nearly 30 years, establishing the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, nominating the first Senate-confirmed ATF director in seven years, and taking historic executive actions to prohibit untraceable ghost guns, crack down on gun trafficking, and close loopholes in our background checks system.

Joe Biden’s commitment to tackling gun violence has no doubt saved lives. We couldn’t be more grateful to him for his leadership on this issue.

These are some of the text messages sent and received by University of North Carolina students during the Monday lockdown triggered by the shooting death of a teacher on campus.

[Mark Stone @Stone_SkyNews]

Some stark realities of America in 2022:

🇺🇸 A day with a mass shooting is now more likely than a day without one.

🇺🇸 More children & teenagers have been killed/injured by gunfire than in any year since records began.

🇺🇸 Guns are the number one cause of death for children.
