@TonyStark If only lawmakers could have predicted this decades ago and unanimously passed a law placing pre-clearance requirements on states known to constantly disenfranchise voters….. Oh, wait… 🤔

Crazy that the same people who freak out about terminating a pregnancy can so easily look away while innocent people are slaughtered by guns on a daily basis in America.

I wish all these January 6th "masterminds" who are still on Capitol Hill displayed any sense of fear or even mild concern about potential personal repercussions for what they've done.

Yes, I understand why Jack Smith is focused on Trump. But those bastards are causing harm to this country every damn day they spend in office, and I can't escape the feeling that most of them are going to get away with it.

@Alan Red State legislatures have anticipated mandatory insurance legislation and pre-emptively banned them. One in Florida was called something like the "Firearms Freedom Act." They are presenting mandatory liability insurance as "discrimination" against gun owners.

South Carolina public school parents and civil rights and educator organizations, represented by ELC, NEA, the SC NAACP and two SC law firms, sue to stop unconstitutional private school voucher program. https://pfps.org/public-school-parents-and-civil-rights-and-educator-organizations-sue-to-stop-unconstitutional-private-school-voucher-program.html via @pfpsorg #privatization

@ClintBarton Republicans have gerrymandered some state maps to the point that they are ordered now to redraw maps constantly because they violate the Voting Rights Act. There's a clear and present danger where many are being disenfranchised.

Like this in Georgia a couple of years ago. This needs corrected.

Gongressman #JaredGolden represents #Lewiston , #Maine , and was one of the few Democrats who voted *against* an #AssaultRiflesBan. His name is 💩 now. https://www.bangordailynews.com/2022/07/30/news/nation/jared-golden-semi-automatic-gun-ban-vote/

He has belatedly announced his intention to #BanAssaultWeapons . How many more ‘well-placed’ #MassShootings will it take to get #CommonSenseGunLaws in the bloody🩸 #USA ?

Instructions for living a life: Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it. - Mary Oliver

The new speaker of the house thinks abortion should be illegal so that women produce more “able bodied workers.” Because that’s all women are good for, right?

Emmett Till's mother galvanized the civil rights movement by insisting on an open-casket funeral, so that the world would see with their own eyes what evil was wrought on her son.

AR-15s will never be banned in U.S. unless and until the families of mass murder victims insist on publication of the gruesome crime scene photos.

It will take great courage to make such a decision, and I thank God I'm not in a position to make one like that. But that's the ONLY thing that will work.

Honest Question: Can the judge's fines be spent on, say, wounded veterans or homeless immigrants? You know: Something that'd really piss off the defendant.

Atheism ≠ nihilism.

The suspect hasn't even been caught and we're already hearing about how his mental health is to blame. Not, you know, the fact that guns are easier to get than a driver's license.
