As a mom of two adult daughters who are my world, do not ever feel bad. It’s an honor to help them and be there for them. We don’t need repayment for anything our kids have done in the past. Move forward knowing you have unconditional love. ❤️

I’ve been on SSRIs for 20 years. I’ve never committed mass murder. I’ve never even thought about committing mass murder. It’s not mental illness. It’s the guns.

When are we going to talk about the white male problem? White men do most of the mass shootings. Why? White men need mental health support. But they also need news and marketing coming at them to change. If women were the mass shooters the DC Men would have passed laws by now.

Today people are still celebrating “Independence Day.” Fuck that independence if it means the facilitation of these murders. For the sake of our children, of our future, we must stand against this tyranny of death. #HighlandPark

It’s not the ladders, it’s not the doors, it’s not the video games. It’s young fragile men with easy access to guns. It’s an industry that profits off fear and gun sales. It’s politicians who’ve been purchased. It’s the guns.

60 gunshots in 20 seconds -- yeah, you need that kind of a weapon to hunt feral pigs and to protect your property. It's a weapon meant to kill humans, period. And it's succeeding, armor-piercing bullets in mass quantities, battle belts, and armor. This is nonsense!

When Uvalde happened, Republicans said the problem was the doors, not the guns. What’s the door-based policy response to a mass shooting at an open air street parade?

A woman’s freedom of choice has been taken away. 10 year olds in Texas died to protect the cops from a gun man inside their school. Another mass shooting at the Fourth of July parade in Highland Park. But yes, let’s discuss more about how drag queens are traumatizing children.

As said, I ran through the Highland Park parade route 45 minutes before the shooting. There were police (with guns and body armor, as is now standard) everywhere, handling traffic, helping the setup. Good guys with guns every six feet.

NEW: At least 25 shots were fired at an Illinois Fourth of July parade; a reporter saw five people bloodied: “As parade-goers fled the parade route in Highland Park, they left behind chairs, baby strollers and blankets.” #twill

The shooter appeared to have fired “a high-powered rifle” from a rooftop, police said. “This doesn’t happen here,” said a witness who ran to safety with his family. “It shouldn’t happen anywhere.”

Half of the money Republican leaders in Texas allotted for school safety after Uvalde - $50 million - will be spent on bullet-resistant shields for school police. Uvalde officers had ballistics shields, but stood outside a classroom door for 75 minutes.

Almost half the money is going toward bullet-resistant shields for school police officers, a move that Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick called on fellow state leaders to support

That’s a hard no. We want gun safety reforms and books that teach the truth so there’s not another shooting.
