We’re all going to die (thanks, Joni Ernst!) but every single gun death is a preventable tragedy. We have proof that better laws and less access/lower lethality reduces deaths. Good gun laws save lives.

And the most common type of gun death is suicide (61% of gun deaths nationally, 48% in MN) where Karen’s argument falls flat. Decades of research shows removing access to guns saves lives, especially in rural MN where suicide rates are higher.

GVP activist here! We say “gun violence” because a gun is the most lethal and accessible weapon, and that’s unique to the U.S. Guns - not cars or fertilizer or whatever - are the most common killer of American children under age 10.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.

The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.

This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.
I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation. Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror... I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes. A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her "Miss Daisy") Miss Daisy out for a drive. Before we took off on our road trip, to the end of The Road and back, in our landlocked little town (Juneau, Alaska), I set my copy of The Onion down in front of her. Over our two-hour excursion, tiny Miss Daisy read that front page at least a dozen times and each time she would snicker, giggle, and guffaw, then put it down on the dash board and, a minute later, discover it anew. I think it was the best afternoon of my life. We don't often hear them laugh and when they do, it's the sweetest thing you've ever heard. ... Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the really important work all of you do. You make the world a better place.

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them
WASHINGTON—With the elected officials trying their hardest not to move a muscle, reports confirmed Monday that top Democratic leaders in Congress were standing real still in hopes that the American people wouldn’t notice them. “Don’t make any sudden movements, or they’ll spot us,” Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said out of the corner of his mouth, […]

George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more.

photo of a big and tall saguaro cactus. it is not moving, it has been standing still for like a hundred years. it is also not speaking. it is a cactus.

Got the chance to be a little more serious than I normally do on WK this week with @worstpossible.world, we talked about rich “beebo” russell, the man who stole a plane from SeaTac in 2018 and crashed it into a small island in the puget sound.
