I just saw the video of Charlie Kirk being shot—shared by Rep. MTG. It left me sick. Horrified. We should never normalize turning violence and trauma into content. That is not leadership, it’s exploitation.

I dont quite have the words to express the pit I have in my stomach over the targeted political violence that occurred in Minnesota, or how jarring it is to see a response from some Republican lawmakers, including the President, to blame democrats, in spite of democrat lawmakers being targeted.

Guns are the #1 cause of death for U.S. kids, but securely storing firearms can help change that.
That's why we team up with @adcouncil.bsky.social on our @endfamilyfire.org program to spread the message of secure gun storage.

The Office of Gun Violence Prevention was a historic test of what a whole-of-govenment approach to addressing the uniquely American crisis of gun violence.
Run by survivors it worked to protect ALL Americans.
The shuttering of this office is abhorrent and should outrage all every single American.

Trump’s cabinet picks, like Pete Hegseth, Linda McMahon, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who have been accused of sexual misconduct or abuse, reflect more than poor judgment. They highlight a broader culture of weaponized masculinity which has clear ties to America’s gun violence epidemic. Thread 🧵 ⤵️

Several of the president-elect’s top picks to lead his government have been accused of sexual assault, harassment or child sex trafficking.

Just say nothing. Don’t ask how they got separated from their dog. Don’t minimize the extent of their losses. Don’t send them unvetted resources or information.

President Musk and VP Trump are not even good at playing politics; they forced a vote, so 38 of their own members voted against it, making it impossible to convince anyone sane that the Dems are shutting down the government.
