🧵12 years ago today, my 20-year-old neighbor killed his mom at home then used an AR-15 to hunt & murder 20 first graders & 6 educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Since that heart shattering day, many of us from the community formed @newtownaction.bsky.social to prevent another tragedy.

So many talented children and adults were killed in the DC place crash! Many were AAPI. My heart is with their families and their communities. channel2now.com/2025/01/30/a...

Police: Man kills girlfriend, two children before fatally shooting himself at Plainville home

Police received a 911 call from the man’s sister saying she got a call from her brother who said he shot and killed his girlfriend and daughter and was going to kill himself.

Since my neighbor used an AR15 to hunt & kill 26 children & educators in Sandy Hook in 2012, I have worked with these incredible group of gun violence survivors, students, & other grassroots advocates to end the gun violence crisis in our nation. Please follow & support them. go.bsky.app/Uzkm7kS

The suspected Manhattan gunman is from Nebraska and he used an M4 assault-style rifle to hunt five people in Midtown Manhattan today. Only one survived. It’s long past time for Congress to ban weapons of war. #HonorWithAction

I have been saying this for years. Democrats follow the bureaucratic norms while Republicans exploit every single loophole. We lost the Supreme Court. We lost our fundamental freedoms like Roe. Gun owners have more rights than non-gun owners. It’s time for Democrats to fight harder for us.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: California is a donor state - we provided $83.1 billion more than we received from the federal government, the same year that Texas received $71.1 billion more than they provided to the federal government. 71% of the U.S. GDP comes from blue counties.

Courage is contagious!

If Congress can ban TikTok then they can ban AR15s!

New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has joined Governor Kathy Hochul in calling for a national assault weapons ban. Mamdani emphasized that even strong state gun laws are only as effective as the weakest laws in other states.
We need more elected leaders & candidates to do the same.

Mamdani: We are reminded no matter how strong our gun laws are in this state, we are only as safe as the weakest laws in this nation.

Watch the video of ICE agents pursuing a man at a farm in Ventura County. Who will work on the strawberry fields when the immigrants are deported?

Christian nationalist with assault weapons are domestic terrorists! Now, the Senate GOP tax bill will arm them with silencers, short-barreled shotguns & rifles - which have been heavily regulated by the ATF since 1934. #StopGOPMurderBill #EndGunViolence

Happening NOW: SCOTUS is weighing the fate of the Mexican government's lawsuit to hold U.S. gun makers accountable for an epidemic of violence traced to their products. Listen to the live oral arguments on the gun companies’ request to throw out the lawsuit. www.supremecourt.gov/oral_argumen...

😬 A measles alert has been issued by the New Jersey Dept of Health after 3 cases were confirmed in Bergen County. An unvaccinated resident was diagnosed w/ measles after returning from an international trip & spread it to 2 close contacts, also unvaccinated.

In 1990, only 1.2% of all guns manufactured were AR15s. Now, >23.4% of all guns made are AR15s & mass shootings with ⬆️ casualties skyrocketed - due to the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban expiring in 2004 & the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act giving the gun industry a civil liability shield.

“HE GOT AWAY WITH IT”

We could have passed a package of lifesaving gun laws - including the assault weapons ban - to prevent school shootings & all forms of gun violence if we elected Kamala Harris & a gun safety majority in Congress in November. 😔 😔😔

This is far from normal! U.S.Senators are being handcuffed & removed. #NoKings #SenatorPadilla

Engineers and executives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency are drawing healthy taxpayer-funded salaries—sometimes from the very agencies they are cutting.

It’s an upside down world right now. Two Tucker Carlson post in one day.
