.@GovParsonMO, please do not let Missouri execute @innonence @the_MIP client #MarcellusWilliams, an innocent person — where there is overwhelming evidence that his trial was constitutionally unfair — on 9/24. shorturl.at/K7jDT

Here's another fun fact the @GOP don't want you to know... Middle class families in California pay LESS in taxes than in states like Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.

It's hard to argue with the data. More guns = more gun deaths

The red line is when Republicans ended the national assault weapons ban.

The U.S. self-reported rate of mental health distress is similar to Canada’s (27%) and Sweden’s (24%). And yet… Annual gun homicides: Canada: 300 Sweden: 60 United States: 15,500 It’s the guns.

NEW: Three members of a Korean-American family are among the eight victims killed by a white supremacist in Allen, Texas. The couple’s 5-year-old is alive, but hospitalized. The Korean consulate confirmed the deaths of the family: en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN202305…

Don't listen to the liars. Here is everything you need to know about why the shootings keep happening. In the past 20 years we have doubled the number of guns in America to over 400,000,000 and AR 15 sales have gone from less than 2% to 25%. #AmericanCarnage

Instead of passing strong gun laws, Texas lawmakers want to train 3rd-graders to use tourniquets, specifically citing the need for children to help treat shooting victims. We don’t have to live like this. Our children sure as hell shouldn’t die like this. khou.com/article/news/e…

At least 13,900 humans shot to death in the United States in the 125 days that have passed in 2023….😢🤯

Hard to overstate how much worse things are going to get in a country where the population is armed to the teeth then conditioned to live in a constant paranoid state of fear.

Ralph Yarl should be home with his family, dreaming about his future. Instead, he is fighting for his life. Ralph was only trying to pick up his younger siblings, but was shot twice in the head after ringing the wrong doorbell. Being Black is not a crime. Ralph deserves justice.

His name is #RalphYarl and I’m sick and tired of this feeling…my heart completely broke when I learned this precious 16-year-old, who accidentally rang the door of the wrong address in an attempt to pick up his siblings, was shot in the head… (1/3)

NEW: Ralph Yarl, 16, was shot twice by a white man in Kansas City after accidentally ringing the doorbell of the wrong home. The man shot Ralph in the head through his glass door, and then when Yarl was already bleeding out on the ground, shot him again: kansascitydefender.com/justice/kansas…

Doctors at a major US insurance company deny tens of thousands of claims a month without even looking at patients’ files. “We literally click & submit,” a former Cigna doctor told @ProPublica & @Capitol_Forum. “It takes all of 10 seconds to do 50 at a time.” The inside story 🧵

Cigna uses an automated system that allows “medical directors” (doctors employed by @Cigna) to deny a claim in 1.2 seconds without opening the patient’s file. Please read this, share it, and help us (metaphorically) burn these companies to the ground.

55 years ago today was the My Lai massacre, which was the mass murder of hundreds of unarmed civilians in South Vietnam by US forces. Women and children were gang-raped before being mutilated. It was initially reported by the US military as a "day-long battle" against Communists.
