👀Now that ICE/DHS are planning to buy ‘mega’ warehouse detention centers across the US to house human beings you might want to listen to this gentleman’s history lesson that he delivered at a city council meeting in AZ. Congress needs to have hearings on this like yesterday.

DEBORAH YOU ARE LITERALLY A PROTESTANT
I may have a stroke.
Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.”
A PROTESTant.
I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

41 years ago today, Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr's father, Malcolm Kerr, was assassinated.
Steve has become a vocal advocate in the gun violence prevention space. We are incredibly grateful for his leadership and support.
Today we are thinking of Steve and his family. 🧡

I say this about ski helmets and one day I hope to say it about gun violence.
this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

Melissa Kane of Connecticut Against Gun Violence is correct: inaction comes at a cost we can no longer afford.
Gun violence has in fact been treated as optional by too many of our leaders.

Opinion: Gun violence isn’t political, and inaction is deadly
No elected official should score political points off the grief of families while blocking the very policies that could protect them.

It really does not get more explicit than Trump telling top active-duty military generals that they will need to participate in occupations of large cities run by his political opponents as part of his "war from within"
Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"
