I f**king HATE guns.
I have treated multiple children for gunshot brain injuries. I had two former patients gunned down in the streets. My 18-year-old nephew committed suicide by gunshot to the head. And I know 3 people who've done time for teen gun crimes that'll take a lifetime to amend. #mnleg

Going into this special session to combat gun violence, i got this form from my state senator to share my personal experience with gun violence. Well, I don't have any, but if you do or know someone who does, maybe you want to let #MNLeg know about it

We won’t let the conversation around gun violence go away.

I’m committed to passing legislation that meets the expectations of Minnesotans.

Our offer to Republicans addresses mental health, school safety, support for law enforcement, and most importantly, common sense gun laws.

The Supreme Court takes up a major immigration case that asks whether the U.S. government can effectively prevent migrants from applying for asylum by blocking them at the border. I am very, very worried about this one. www.scotusblog.com/cases/case-f...

Has anyone seen Melania recently? And did he check whether the First Lady was in the East Wing before demolishing it?

clearly she has not played a traditional role but ...
Just wondering...

Gunshots & pipe bombs.

Someone looking at all this with a cold eye might say that Miller and Hegseth are seeking control over the power ministries before a Vance ally invokes the 25th Amendment.

Signs from today’s Don’t Look Away Rally at the Minnesota capitol, where @momsdemand.bsky.social and @studentsdemand.bsky.social volunteers and survivors urged their lawmakers to call a special session to ban assault weapons.

🚨BIG NEWS:🚨

Minnesota Democrats just unveiled our proposal for a possible special session. Our plan would:

✅Ban assault weapons
✅Ban high-capacity magazines
✅Ban binary triggers
✅Implement 'safe storage' rules
✅Ban untraceable 'ghost guns'
✅Strengthen MN's red flag law

From @momsdemand.bsky.social "If you reside in Minnesota, text MN to 644-33 to tell key lawmakers to hold a special session to ban assault weapons!"
Minnesotans are calling for a special session to ban assault weapons—but Republican lawmakers are refusing to let it proceed.

This image perfectly encapsulates Republican’s cruel apathy toward protecting our kids from gun violence: Empty signatures, empty promises.

When will Minnesota Republicans stand up to the gun lobby so our children don’t have to stand up to gunmen?

If you reside in Minnesota, text MN to 644-33 to tell key lawmakers to hold a special session to ban assault weapons!

Despite the fact that 60 percent of Minnesota voters believe the legislature should take immediate action to ban assault weapons, Republicans in the Minnesota House are refusing to allow a special session proposed by Democrats and Governor Walz to proceed.
