⁴Vote to have it read aloud and the make the vote mandatory in-person, no proxy availability.

Enough is enough. EVERYONE is tired of the whole #thoughtsandprayers #snotinlayers sentiment of it all. Offer a path to school safety, the children are owed that as a bare minimum.

³Accountability for parents who don't make access to a firearm impossible for their children.

Close ALL THE LOOPHOLES.

Revoke access to those with felonies or fiduciaries.

Revoke access to firearms from DV OFFENDERS.

Created a plain language, transparent, mindful of all bill.

²Make the phrase "thoughts and prayers" be a thing of the past, make positive action happen.

Complete background checks (followup every 2yrs).

Permit only a specific list of weapons allowed for purchase.

¹Seems only fitting that the children of this country benefit from the creation of reform in CK's name that will ACTUALLY protect them.

Here are the 128 House Democrats who voted to table (kill) the Rep. Al Green D-TX impeachment resolution against President Trump over the Iran attacks.

that maga is....unless you commit to protecting Democracy (like you should have been on the same page for)....I digress...

now I gotta lump this guy in the same cesspool as Empty Greene...same with you if you continue your silence...

This is so gut wrenching www.theguardian.com/environment/.... Thank you for your ongoing reporting, @readfearn.bsky.social.

We ARE NOT DEFECTIVE, go gain an actual education RFK2....WITHOUT the H diet.

We have voters who believe J6 was a tourist visit, Biden gutted Roe v Wade and many do not fear authoritarianism or support democracy

Not surprised they think only violent immigrants are being deported and saying Dems support gang members when all we’re doing is protecting due process

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.

If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.

Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Quick point. Congress can use the spending fight in September (remember Chuck Schumer surrendered till then) to prevent a single dollar from being used to house prisoners in El Salvador.

I love this! There are some books laid on the shelves to wait their time to collect enough mental spoons to help gobble them all up💜 #consumingbookslikedelectabletreats

Gay Venezuelan stylist sent to Salvadoran prison after a disgraced cop's report Now a contractor for ICE, the officer was on a list of disgraced cops in Milwaukee. His report helped send a man to a notorious prison in El Salvador.

I’M GOING TO KEEP POSTING THIS STORY UNTIL ANDRY IS FREED: Gay Venezuelan makeup artist sent to Salvadoran prison after a disgraced cop's report

Andry Hernandez Romero sought shelter in the U.S. because he was persecuted as a gay man, one of the "particular social groups" allowed to claim asylum.

I voted for your 1st Senate run, I'm glad to see you're still serving the people of Maryland....please don't make this a token visit or talking point...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ask the Salvadoran officials for proof of life of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, may your visit yield results.

@vanhollen.senate.gov

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.”

— Seth Rogen’s censored remarks presenting the Breakthrough Prize

I think this is a delightful idea...we gotta try!

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Don't be a Martin Niemöller....

Headline: ICE came for their neighbor so these Tennesseans formed a human chain to protect him

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

"Within minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in. The attempts were 'near real-time'...

"Whoever was attempting to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts..."

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.

Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No
Me: See the problem?
