I am deeply troubled at the news coming out of California and in immigrant communities across the country.

My love and prayers are with these communities, which I know include many of our volunteers.

Supreme Court Rules 6-3 To Open Evil Tomb Of Batibat WASHINGTON—Despite polls that show the American public overwhelmingly supports keeping the ancient burial chamber sealed, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 Friday to pry open the evil tomb of Batibat, a ven...

Supreme Court Rules 6-3 To Open Evil Tomb Of Batibat

1/ Remember (& you’ll hear this caveat from all the legal commentators) today’s SCOTUS decision in the birthright citizenship case is not about whether Trump can do away with birthright citizenship in an EO. It’s about whether a single district judge can issue a nationwide injunction pausing the EO.

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

Last night, Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee forced language into the budget bill that would deregulate almost every weapon—not just silencers—regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA).

These protections on especially deadly firearms have existed for nearly a century.

We are heartbroken by the senseless killing of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. From day one, Speaker Emerita Hortman made gun violence prevention a top priority, working alongside Moms Demand Action volunteers.

Friday is National Gun Violence Awareness Day & all weekend long, thousands of people across the country will #wearorange to bring awareness to this national health crisis. If you are in LA, we have a few wonderful events.

We apparently can’t afford healthcare but can afford silencers. Early this morning, House Republicans passed their budget bill and snuck in provisions to completely deregulate and cut taxes on silencers—costing American taxpayers $1.5 billion.

First, they arrested a sitting judge. Then they threatened a sitting Governor.

Now, they've taken it a step further by arresting a sitting mayor of Newark, NJ, Ras Baraka, who dared to stand up against their billion-dollar detention deal that's ripping families apart.

As a California @momsdemand.bsky.social
Volunteer, I know record-low CA homicide rates isn’t accidental – they're thx to effective programs like #CalVIP. As Trump cuts ≈$1B in public safety grants, CA must protect this success. CalVIP funding ensures these life-saving programs continue. #ProtectCVI

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Fresno abruptly loses federal grant credited for big drop in city’s gun violence Exclusive: The $2 million violence prevention grant is one of several federal grants that has been paused, canceled or terminated in Fresno.

Advance Peace helped cut shootings in Southwest Fresno by 35%, saving lives and saving the city and county up to $252 million in gun violence costs.

Now the DOJ has slashed their funding. Undermining holistic public safety hurts everyone.

Shout out to California @momsdemand.bsky.social volunteers for ALWAYS showing up to support gun safety legislation.
#AB1489 passed through Assembly Public Safety🎉Thanks to Assemblymember Isaac Bryan for your leadership on this bill, alcohol and service firearms def don’t mix!

Florida & Wisconsin, I hope you understand the assignment today! The entire Country, no World, is watching you.

Please show up in record numbers and support candidates who will support the constitution & not the con!

The world feels upside down & some days it’s almost paralyzing. Knowing that I have this entire state of badass advocates working along side me, helping to keep us safer, gives me hope ❤️ HUGE thx to all the CA @momsdemand.bsky.social vols, survivors, students & comm. partners for always showing up.

Oh, now we're dragging people out of the SOTU.

Democrats, your job is not to be quieter because Al Green got dragged out. It's your job to get LOUDER.

At a House Judiciary Committee hearing on guns, Rep. Kevin Kiley joined a chorus of gun extremists who are claiming that a new bill to update California’s self-defense laws—AB 1333—would “effectively overturn the Castle Doctrine.” #CALeg

Mexico’s Lawsuit To Hold U.S. Gun Manufacturers Accountable Will Affect Public Safety in Both Countries The Supreme Court’s decision in Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos will either hold U.S. gun manufacturers accountable for fueling gun violence in Mexico or empower an unchecked f...

The same weak gun laws & irresponsible gun industry practices that make guns the leading cause of death for U.S. children & teens are also fueling violence & instability in Mexico. New column @americanprogress.bsky.social about Tuesday's SCOTUS hearing www.americanprogress.org/article/mexi...

This man is barely even a formal government employee, let alone elected or Senate-confirmed. A total failure of the Constitutional order, just broadcast & normalized by every major media outlet.

I’m positive you all saw the video from Coeur d’Alene, where a woman was pulled out of her seat and arrested by men who claimed to be sheriff deputies, but were not in uniform.

I need the men to do something: When you see a woman being abused, step in. Step up. Get in the way. Put your body to use.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

BREAKING: Everytown Law, the City of Baltimore, and the State of Maryland just filed a lawsuit against Glock—the largest producer of pistols in the country—for allegedly facilitating the proliferation of illegal machine guns on the streets of Baltimore and across Maryland.

Auschwitz holds observances on the 80th anniversary of the death camp's liberation Elderly camp survivors, some wearing striped scarves that recall their prison uniforms, walked to the the Death Wall, where prisoners were executed. Across Europe, officials were pausing to remember.

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.
