12 years since Sandy Hook and still, we're mourning lives lost to mass shootings.

➡️Over 1.2 million Americans shot
➡️480,000 killed by guns
➡️5,400+ mass shooting incidents.

NO MORE "thoughts and prayers". We want action.

Repeat after me: #EndGunViolenceNow

Hey corporate media,

Thou shalt not spend thousands of hours on one CEO’s shooting and only one hour on a classroom of children.

Two days after the 12-year anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy—where 20 children and six educators were senselessly killed by a gunman with an AR-15—we are once again mourning lives taken by gun violence in a school.

Why don’t Republicans in Congress think this is a problem?

I’m confused that Lindsey acknowledges this must be done by constitutional amendment while simultaneously encouraging Trump do defy the constitution and do it by executive order.

Oligarchs don’t give up power willingly. But history proves resistance works. Progress may be slow, but it’s real. Their power isn’t absolute—organizing can topple them. Fight back, and fight smart. Change is possible.

Take action: Get involved locally, support independent journalism, & join unions. Move your money to community banks. Use platforms that challenge Silicon Valley’s monopoly. Oligarchs adapt, but history shows collective action wins.

Oligarchy is an ugly word—harsh to hear & awkward to write. But it’s vital we understand it: it describes a system where a tiny, wealthy elite controls power. Sound familiar? This threat to democracy is real. Let’s unpack how it works today.

Jim Kessler is right: The good news is that Trump and Republicans will vastly overplay their side of the polarity, which will threaten their future electoral prospects.

Dear rebels, if you could email the Tulsi files to the Senate next week, that would be great.

Aloha.
Bolton: It's going to be very interesting to see what the files that may be uncovered in the Syrian government, if the rebels succeed in capturing Damascus, what they show about a number of Americans.
