@MBTA You honestly do not care about how much your failures cost riders.

@MBTA You going to reimburse my Amtrak ticket? I gave myself extra time and y’all STILL found a way to mess up the commute

I’m sorry you lost your son. The fault lies with all 4 of you as parent in your failure to teach your sons proper firearm safety. If they understood the dangers as well as how to mitigate those risks through proper training, they would have been less curious and less dangerous upon finding that weapon. The fault does not lie with peaceable people. Threatening to jail peaceable people for your failure will not bring your son back.

My name is Kristin Song.
On January 31, 2018, my son Ethan was shot in the head in his best friend's house. The father/gun owner stored 3 handguns and ammunition in a shoebox. Ethan's friend had been accessing the guns for over 6 months.
At the hospital, the ER doctor slid down the wall, put his head in his hands, and whispered, "Your son is gone." At that instant, all I knew, loved and trusted was imploded into a million tiny pieces.
I begged to say goodbye to my beautiful boy. I wanted to kiss his forehead, tell him how cherished he was, and tuck him in one last time. But the doctor begged me to remember Ethan as he was, you see, he was unrecognizable even to my eyes.
The day before Thanksgiving in 2018, the prosecutor told me she would not charge the negligent gun owner, and if I wanted negligent gun owners to be held accountable, I would have to change the law.
So I did.
6 months later, Connecticut passed Ethan's Law, which requires gun owners to secure their weapons if children can gain access.
Then, I learned that so many states stood silent on this issue, so in 2019, I turned my attention to passing Ethan's Law nationally. I met with over 400 congressional offices, 130 of them Republican.
In 2022, Ethan's Law was passed in the House of Representatives as part of the Safer Communities Act. Sadly, it was not picked up in the final package.
When the Democrats lost the House of Representatives in 2023, I pivoted to passing safe gun storage laws in the States. As a result, Michigan, New Mexico, and Maryland passed safe storage laws.
Currently, I am working with 5 states to pass Ethan's Law.
I am emotionally and mentally exhausted, but I will not stop until there is a cultural shift in this country where it becomes second nature to secure your weapons around unsupervised children.
If you believe in protecting children from gun violence, please follow and repost.

@joannferg Manipulating weather? Are you sure you’re not just watching Fantasia again?

@saintherons That being said, I highly encourage getting cats. We want more!

@saintherons Travel. Our girls are HIGH maintenance and we basically have to pay someone to live in our place for one-two weeks to manage their needs (ie wants) and our (ie my) anxiety that every need is being met. Also when I’m trying to relax and I hear this

@esteco2 I love Luanne with the “caviar? Caviar?”… “don’t break the glass in the caviar”.

@MBTA How the hell is this happening twice in less than two hours

Just watched the up escalator at Porter Station break down with a bunch of commuters on it. That’s 3/3 busted, yeah? @MBTA

@chernobylurmom @KarmaAster @AbortionChat Here’s my question: why the fuck do you want a baby to live a short life in intense pain with no understanding of what’s happening just to satisfy your point in this argument? Because that is what you are doing. You are not pro-life. You are pro your fucking selfish agenda.
English

@KarmaAster @AbortionChat “Is it incompatible with life” was the question. Everyone dies eventually.
English

Huge difference between “disabled” and “incompatible with life.”
If you don’t know that, that’s your problem.

@TotvsTvvsEgoSvm @AbortionChat ED is not a disease. It's not necessary to survive but insurance pays for viagra.
English

Broken bones aren’t diseases, either. But you sure need a doctor to take x rays and to put a cast on. Sometimes even to do the surgery to realign the bone.
Do better.
