🧵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.
Costco is one of the few corporations that has not kissed the ring. They don’t allow guns in their stores either!
💔 Women are 5X more likely to be killed if the domestic abusers are armed. #GunsDontMakeUsSafer

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...
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.
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.

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
Lawyer for Mahmoud Khalil says detaining & attempts to deport legal residents for exercising free speech is nothing but unconstitutional repression. #MOMSky
@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.
This is what courage looks like!

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
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?
I live in Florida & Connecticut. I rely heavily on the National Weather Service to stay safe when hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, & snowstorms are coming our way. Our safety is being sacrificed for the billionaire/millionaire tax cuts. #MOMsky
