Secure Firearm storage saves lives, community violence intervention works, pass common sense gun laws

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous.

Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

Tell the California State Senate: Justice for homicide victims' families!
Take action to support stronger gun laws in your state.

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

UPDATE: Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed, and Senator John Hoffman and his wife were shot and critically wounded.

We must stand united against political violence.
Two Minnesota lawmakers & their spouses were shot by someone impersonating a police officer at their homes. Their conditions are unknown.

Political violence has no place in a healthy democracy. Our hearts go out to their friends, family, & the Champlin & Brooklyn Park communities. buff.ly/xlz9Bf4

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

The daily toll of America’s gun violence crisis can seem inconceivable, but every single person taken by gun violence was someone’s loved one, friend, and family member.

This isn't hypothetical.

The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

Just sat down on the Capitol Steps with my good friend @booker.senate.gov to have a real conversation about the dangerous situation we confront in America.

And what we can all do to stop it.

The Trump admin illegally deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia, lost at SCOTUS—and now says it has no duty to bring him home.
He’s stuck in a Salvadoran prison.
They don’t care.
This is cruelty as policy. This is what lawless authoritarianism looks like. 🔗

Trump administration contends it has no duty to return illegally deported man to US
The administration’s position suggests officials do not view the Supreme Court’s order as compelling them to seek Abrego Garcia’s return.

It is so fitting that Sen Booker broke the longest standing filibuster in US history. I hope the former record holder is looking up from where he is and weeping. #GoodTroubleNecessaryTrouble

They’ll never accept it, but everyone who cast a vote for Donald Trump did real, generations-long damage to the United States and the west in exchange for essentially nothing of value.

I can't watch this and say nothing. The arrest of people lawfully here because of things they have said is nothing short of creating a new class of political prisoners.

Then sweeping them away to Louisiana to evade the rule of law is atrocious.

We cannot stay silent.
