I'm surprised by his stance as he showed himself to be a real coward when we visited his office. Maybe his district is full of conspiracy theorists he is pandering to. But I will try to be positive and view his stance as an act of principle.

Yes, this sadistic administration and its enablers should face a reckoning for their human rights violations which are designed to score political points with a bloodthirsty base.

Where are the criminals this administration said they will deport? Their cruelty is also damaging America and its economy.

National Weather Service (NWS) is housed within the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) at the Dept of Commerce. DOGE invaded NOAA earlier this year & hundreds of forecasters were reportedly fired; another 1,000 reportedly took buyout offers. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Amen! Real Christians welcome hungry and tired foreigners. They don't turn their backs on them and treat them with cruelty.

Tell Your Senators: Don't cut health care & food assistance to give another tax cut to the rich Contact Congress today!

Everyone should do this--speak out against the big ugly bill. Senate offices are closed, but their inboxes aren't. Let's get 1,000 more out by midnight: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Yes, the presence of guns in the hands of those at risk raises the likelihood of a death by suicide.

What I fear Trump will do with his war Centralize even more power and curtail even more civil liberties

There is a legitimate concern that Trump will use his war with Iran to consolidate power using the pretext that we must be protected from terrorism. He has used emergency powers far more often than previous presidents. This is right from the authoritarian playbook. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

I am proud to stand with gun violence prevention leaders @gabbygiffords.bsky.social @krisbrown.bradyunited.org @ferrellzabala.bsky.social @amyklobuchar.com & so many other female champions to call for ending political violence & armed intimidation!

What a great resource!

The big ugly tax bill is obscene. Aside from making America far more dangerous and undermining the health of Americans, it represents a massive transfer of wealth from the poor and medical class to the wealthy. This is Christian?

There were 2,100+protests against the Trump Admin., with 5 million attending & they were overwhelmingly peaceful. Fox "News" covered 2 in which incidents occurred. No mention of the others. Their lies & omissions have much to do with where we are in the US. Even global media covered the protests.

Amazing turnout around the country for the NoKings protests against the trump Administration's policies and attacks on democracy.

No Kings On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. ...

Don't sit on the sidelines, join one of the 2000+ protests tomorrow. Know that you stood up to tyranny when America needed you. Find an event near you at:

Any Questions?!

Yes, sir. I will forever be grateful for your sacrifice!

Horrific behavior of security that makes you think we are in North Korea or Putin's Russia. Even if he interrupted, you can warn him or show him out the door. What authoritarian mentality leads you to slam him on the floor and cuff him?

This is not normal!

June is Gun Violence Awareness and Prevention month. Let's think about the 40-50,000 annual gun deaths in the US, the 100,000+ with nonfatal injuries, and the families and communities devastated by this plague. Americans have the right to be protected from this scourge through sane policies.

It was great to discuss gun violence and our book with League of Women Voters members from around the country.

Yesterday, my colleague @tomgabor.bsky.social and I Zoomed with the League of Women Voters to discuss our book GUV VIOLENCE 101. We were invited by the Center for American Progress. An amazing hour with amazing people. ❤️🤍💙 #violetlemay #books #endgunviolence

Blame the fascist & the congressional Republicans if you or your family become victims of gun violence. They are working unapologetically for gun industry profits instead of protecting us from gun violence.

The Trump regime's persecution of Harvard is an abomination. They are destroying the lives of so many young people, damaging a university producing the most Nobel prize winners in the world, and attacking free speech.
