Trump recently shuttered the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, which helped implement critical gun safety measures that save lives.

Nearly 46,000 people in America die each year by guns, but let’s open an “Office of Ship Building.” #JointAddress #SOTU #StateOfTheUnion

Good morning. In dark times such as these, it’s important to find joy and light in small things, and to pause & take in those moments when they come. This helps to sustain us.

And so: sending some joy.

Let’s be clear: The bipartisan, life-saving, and extremely popular progress on gun safety made under the leadership of the Biden Administration is consistent with the Second Amendment, which is why 15 Senate Republicans supported the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.

BREAKING: Trump just signed a sweeping executive order calling on Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate “ongoing infringements” of the Second Amendment.

Russian government leading the effort to get Tulsi Gabbard confirmed. "We've got your back, Tulsi", says Russian TV.

Trump's nominee for top State Dept job is a Uighur genocide apologist who also thinks America should deliver Taiwan to China.

China and Russia LOVE Trump term 2.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

MYTH: Arming teachers will keep our kids safer in schools. FACT: Arming teachers ignores research that shows the presence of a gun increases the risks posed to children and teachers. School safety experts and law enforcement oppose arming teachers.

MYTH: Red flag laws take guns from people without due process. FACT: Red Flag laws, which authorize courts to issue orders to temporarily remove firearms from someone who is determined to be a danger to themselves or others, protect due process. Final orders can only be issued after the person is given notice and an opportunity to be heard.

MYTH: Shoot First laws provide everyone an equal right to self defense. FACT: Shoot First laws, which allow a person to use deadly force even when they can safely walk away, disproportionately impact Black Americans. In Shoot First states, homicides in which white shooters kill Black victims are deemed justifiable 5x more often than when the situation is reversed.
