“Some politicians — and the people who keep them in power — have decided guns matter more than kids. More than life. We let political posturing take priority over collective safety,” writes Sam Hasler.
“So they deflect. They stall. And children die.”
Back to school should never mean back to school shootings. This is the devastating reality of America’s gun violence crisis—and it will not end until lawmakers take meaningful action.
Text READY to 644-33 to join us in demanding they do just that.

Big decision in the MN AG suit against Glock yesterday, in which Judge Sande denied Glock’s motion to dismiss in full. The Clinic looks forward to digging into discovery as the case proceeds. www.fox9.com/news/glock-l...

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

Minnesota state Senator John Hoffman and state Representative Melissa Hortman were shot at their homes in what authorities are calling a targeted attack.
This senseless act of violence not only threatens the lives of those involved but undermines the very foundation of our democracy.
I'm so excited to be working with Jess on her excellent hijinks mystery. It's always a real joy to find one of those special projects that feels like the perfect fit, and I cannot wait for the world to get to meet our heroes(?) Grace and Jo 🕵️♀️
Welcome to JABberwocky!!
Sen. Strom Thurmond voted against the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, AND supported Jim Crow laws.
Thurmond’s record for longest floor speech (in protest of the Civil Rights Act, no less!) was just broken by a Black man, my good friend Cory Booker.
That’s America.
Thank you for doing this!! You rock!

Just an astonishing denial of science and will cause so much pain to the 45 million Americans facing mental health challenges.
Several red state AGs including mine are suing to dismantle 504s in schools.
Please, call your reps and AGs to demand they let all children learn in public schools. The end goal is to delete all special education services. All accommodations.

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

America is facing a rising threat of far-right extremist violence. Even young boys—who have easy access to guns due to lax gun laws—are being radicalized in online spaces that fail to regulate the spread of far-right hate speech and dangerous gun content.

The 14th Amendment clearly says so. The Supreme Court has affirmed it for more than 125 years.
That's why I'm suing Pres. Trump to block his unconstitutional executive order purporting to end birthright citizenship.
NEW: We just released our 2025 Gun Law Rankings and the data is clear—fewer people are killed with guns in states with stronger gun laws. In fact, states with the weakest gun safety laws have a gun violence rate 2.5 times higher than states with the strongest laws.

Trump figured out that taking away people’s abortion rights is DEEPLY unpopular, so he said a whole bunch of things to walk back his stances, including on Comstock.
Do I trust him? No.
Am I going to do everything I can to hold him + Republicans accountable? Absolutely.
In 2024, we:
✅ Passed hundreds of gun safety bills
✅ Helped elect 333 @momsdemand.bsky.social volunteers
✅ Filed our 20th lawsuit on behalf of survivors & cities to hold the gun industry accountable
✅ Invested millions in violence intervention programs

Turning our schools into prisons is the dystopia the gun lobby wants. We shouldn’t have to live like that. Instead, we demand stronger gun laws and proactive school safety policies that will keep guns from getting to our campuses in the first place.

Not car crashes. Not cancer. It's guns.
Schools should be sites of learning for our kids, not centers of carnage.
The #BeSMART campaign promotes secure gun storage to prevent kids under 18 and other unauthorized users from accessing guns. By having conversations about secure gun storage with family, friends, & community members, we can ALL help reduce suicide and unintentional shootings by children and teens.

I'm a veteran & a gun-owner. Supporting the 2A & common sense gun-safety measures ARE NOT mutually exclusive ideas.
Responsible gun-owners do not run from BG checks or handling, maintenance, & safe-storage training.
