Students were eating lunch when they heard the gunshots. It’s yet another horrific school shooting, and every time my heart breaks for the kids, parents, and communities shattered by gun violence.
We can’t stop demanding change. Congress can and must pass gun safety legislation.

We can keep discussing these societal issues year after year, but nothing is likely to change. Instead, it’s up to you to take proactive steps to protect yourself and your family and live with the reassurance that you can protect your life if the threat arises—plain and simple.

A recap of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill":
Kids go hungry so Jeff Bezos can buy a 3rd yacht.
Kids lose health care so Zuckerberg can buy a 2nd Hawaiian island.
Seniors lose their nursing home care so Elon Musk can go to Mars.
We must fight back with all we've got.

It’s obscene to cut aid to kids in public schools so Donald Trump and Elon Musk can give tax cuts to billionaires. I’m fighting to put a stop to it.
Public education is the foundation of our future. We have a moral responsibility to defend it.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy.
Third time’s the charm, I guess.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.
Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

A former French military base, Vauban is a thriving neighbourhood of 5,500 residents connected to Freiburg town centre by bus and light rail. Built in the late 1990s as a radical experiment in low-car living, it forgoes virtually all on-street parking in favour of active, green, and social spaces. 🧵
