Ban Assault Weapons NOW! 🟧

When you vote this year, remember what happened in Parkland. Newtown. Orlando. Las Vegas. Uvalde. Pittsburgh. El Paso. Miami. Buffalo. Highland Park. Santa Fe. Monterey Park. Baton Rouge. Nashville. Louisville. Lewiston. Kansas City. Your town could be next.

Mielle McFadden stood before the nation at the 10th National Vigil for All Victims of Gun Violence. On Saturday, Mielle was shot and killed at a house party. She deserved a future. She deserved safety. She deserved everything she was fighting for. We will not forget her voice.

I am a gun owner, and I believe we can protect the Second Amendment while also passing gun safety laws. We need to reinstate the assault weapons ban and pass universal background checks, safe storage laws, and red flag laws to keep our children and communities safe.

Last night I asked random Black men -of all ages- I encountered at ATL, how they were gonna vote. Listen to what they answered. And let me tell you something, do not underestimate the elders. Grandmas, do your thing. 1/5 thread

The lines to vote at the University of Central Florida are 2 to 3 hours long and have been for the past week. Meanwhile, at other early voting locations with older populations it’s 10 minutes. ⁦@OCFElections⁩ is suppressing the youth vote. This is election interference.

"Schmidt, of Weston, was a freshman at @UCF...studying with aspirations “to follow in his father's footsteps as a successful businessman,” according to the fundraiser set up by Jacob Engozi of Fort Lauderdale." 😢

Before Jeff Bezos blocked the @washingtonpost endorsement of Kamala Harris, 6 survivors from Sandy Hook, now ages 18 and 19, spoke to Kim Bellware @bellwak from the Post about how the shooting still influences the trajectory of their lives as they enter adulthood and gear up to become leaders in the next generation of gun violence prevention efforts. First up: voting for Kamala Harris in their first-ever presidential election!

Ana Navarro not holding back and dropping f-bombs on CNN. "You haven't been listening to the way [Donald Trump] talked about Judge Curiel, as 'just a Mexican.' You haven't been listening to the way he talked about Mexicans as criminals as rapists. You have forgotten when he said that people like me come from shit-hole countries."

"Imagine being a U.S. Senator and having all your state’s biggest newspapers come out against you." Tough week for Ted Cruz when @ColinAllredTX picks up ALL 5 of the biggest newspapers in Texas' endorsements. That's what we call a clean sweep 🧹

Q: Could you explain your gun control policy to the parents of the victims of school shootings? Donald Trump: You need guns. You need them for entertainment, for sports, and other things. What a disgusting, soulless answer.

Donald Trump says the parents of school shooting victims should understand their children’s safety and even lives were sacrificed so that others could have guns for “entertainment and sport.”

Gov. Walz: Just because you have a mental health issue doesn't mean you're violent. Sometimes it’s just the guns

Sometimes, it’s just the guns.

Thank you VP for fighting to protect all our children from gun violence And recognizing that it starts with safe storage #ethanslaw #safestorage ⁦@VP⁩ ⁦@JohnWoodrowCox⁩

400 officers in Uvalde couldn’t stop an 18 year old with an assault rifle. Secret Service in Butler couldn’t stop a 20 year old with an assault rifle. SROs in Winder couldn’t stop a 14 year old with an assault rifle. JD Vance: More security will fix it. apnews.com/article/jd-van…
