Thinking about the family of Representative Melissa Hortman & her husband who were assassinated at the hands of a radical MAGA shooter in June.

Melissa was doing such important work for the state of Minnesota & this country-we grieve her loss & demand strict gun reform legislation.

Three high schoolers, who likely didn't make a career out of enabling and encouraging fascism, were shot in Colorado today.

The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.
