The House Republicans are spreading lies & using racist rhetoric to fight the passage of the assault weapons ban bill. @davidhogg111 just cleared it up for them. Assault weapons in Mexico come from the United States!

@Well_Regulated_ So glad you took the break you needed and so glad you are back!

I was reaching a point with my mental health where everything, even simple stuff in life, felt overwhelming. And that was happening at the same time as the exceptionally horrifying school shooting in Uvalde that kept getting worse and worse as more stories emerged.

You might have noticed I took a bit of a Twitter break. I'm not sorry for the break - I really needed it! - but looking back, I do wish I'd told y'all in advance. I truly appreciate those who noticed my absence and checked in!

Two Oregon Democrats still have not co-sponsored or agreed to vote for Ethan Law: @RepSchrader and @RepPeterDeFazio. Democrats are letting us down on this. Plz retweet to let @ORDems @HouseDemocrats know you want strong, effective gun laws.

#SCOTUS has declared open season on voting rights and reproductive rights so it's time for open season on "gun" rights. TIME TO REPEAL THE SECOND AMENDMENT. I'm sick of those fricking gun humpers.

But here we are. So you say you want a revolution? Well we have one right here, right now.

Vapid, annoying @megynkelly is not concerned about the healthcare of women but about a LEAK FFS.

Women with unplanned pregnancies will suffer and die. Children raped by their fathers or uncles or strangers will suffer and die. This SCOTUS will make these deaths not just inevitable but legal—and Republicans do not care. WE MUST FIGHT BACK. #ExpandTheCourt

Those justices lied in their confirmation hearings about Roe being settled law. That is grounds to impeach them, or at least to expand the court to counter the effect of their blatant and intentional deception.

I just signed a @keepgunsoffcamp petition asking @SpeakerPelosi to bring Ethan's Law (HR 748) to the floor for a vote today. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/spea… @EthansLaw2 #SafeStorage #PassEthansLaw @LeaderHoyer @rosadelauro @SenBlumenthal @SenSchumer

A member of our well regulated militia (and mall shoe store owner) chases some shoplifters and opens fire on them. He misses the shoplifters, but shoots a 9 year old girl who’s waiting in line to meet the Easter Bunny. abc7.com/victorville-ma…

It was a pleasure to host @AmbassadorTai in Oregon with @RonWyden and @SenJeffMerkley. We visited @IntelPolicy to discuss the importance of manufacturing and met at the Portland Japanese Garden with AAPI women who are local leaders.

The idea you need a gun to be a man was an idea invented to sell guns to insecure, weak men.

@cryshalsing @CeasefireOregon From Oregon's SB 554B (3) “Control” means, in relation to a firearm: (a) That the owner or possessor of the firearm is close enough to the firearm to prevent another person who is not an authorized person from obtaining the firearm. Read the law and stop believing the gun lobby.

Gun owners are responsible for the secure storage of their guns. The responsibility for gun safety is on the gun owner who is an adult—not on the kids.

@cryshalsing @CeasefireOregon You need to read the law. Ethan's Law states "At the federal level, the bill establishes statutory requirements for firearms on residential premises to be safely stored if a minor is likely to gain access without permission or if a resident is ineligible to possess a firearm."

Stop raising weak men who think that they need a gun to be a man. Masculinity comes from your actions, not consumerism.

A 36yo Jacksonville, Florida man was arrested & charged with possession of a weapon by a convicted felon after a 3yo boy shot himself in the head with an unsecured gun on Sunday afternoon. We urge @SenRubioPress & @SenRickScott to support S190/Ethan’s Law. firstcoastnews.com/article/news/c…

The County Board of Supervisors passed the County Gun Violence Reduction Program 5-0. The County now moves ahead with a community needs assessment on reducing gun violence. Thank you @SanDiegoCounty

This is why we must treat gun violence as a chronic problem not as an episodic problem and institute a framework of Prevention-Intervention-Aftercare. Gun homicides are up 50% in Sacramento County. Here’s who is dying sacbee.com/news/local/cri…

Buying a gun does not make you a man it makes you a consumer, a cog in the system, one of millions having their insecurities weaponized for profit. You are being manipulated by marketing agencies because you are weak. Masculinity can not be purchased, it can only be practiced.
