Extremists won’t distract us from the fact that more than 100 Americans die every single day from preventable gun violence, and every one of those victims has a name, a family, and a right to still be here.

The most powerful nation in the world is fully capable of addressing BOTH environmental risks & the gun violence epidemic. We can, in fact, regulate firearms, (and I hear that Dems regulate the weather) and making this comparison when our kids are being gunned down is deeply dishonest & abhorrent.

But this is the classic tactic of extremists: textbook distraction tactics and false “facts” to keep Americans from focusing on the deaths that are happening in front of their very eyes.

Gun violence is a CHOICE being made by leaders in this country.

Our children’s futures are being stolen by extremists like Elon Musk and others in this administration who want to sell more guns for more profit that goes to their political donor pals in the gun industry.

There’s not enough space here to fully discuss the whataboutism and false equivalence of Elon Musk’s argument that we should focus on non-AC usage deaths in all of Europe instead of the #1 killer of children, preventable gun violence. But let me try. 🧵

Breonna Taylor should be here. Six years ago today, she was shot six times and killed in her own home by police. We must continue to fight for justice and accountability in her name.

America needs a Surgeon General who treats gun violence like the public health crisis that it is and acts accordingly. At this point, Dr. Robby from #ThePitt might be the better pick.

My thoughts are with Martin Short and all who knew and loved his daughter Katherine. This tragedy is a reminder that we may never fully know a person’s struggles and that’s why it’s important to ask friends, family, and neighbors about unsecured firearms in the home. @endfamilyfire.org

Gun violence prevention leaders Amber Goodwin, Greg Jackson, & Cleopatra Cowley have been lighting our path for years. And now they’re taking the fight to a new arena: local office. I’m proud to know Amber, Greg, & Cleopatra, and I can’t wait to see all that they accomplish once elected to office.

I will never forget how Rev Jackson stood by us when we were fighting to renew the assault weapons ban in 2004. He was with us on the ground at every step. I was proud to stand behind him in that fight. Thank you for teaching us to never give up🙏🏽 @bradybuzz #MillionMomMarch

The passing of Rev. Jesse Jackson is devastating. He understood long ago that gun violence is a civil rights issue. Rev. Jackson stood with grieving communities demanding accountability & reform, including an assault weapons ban. He knew that safety is not a privilege, it is a right.

TN State Rep. Shaundelle Brooks knows the devastating toll of gun violence. Her son, Akilah DaSilva, was killed in the 2018 Waffle House mass shooting. Since then, Shaundelle has fought to ensure that no one else has to suffer the same grief. Akilah should be here. @natrixdreammom.bsky.social

Tremendously grateful for the dedicated and tireless work of @mainegunsafety.bsky.social when Maine’s elected officials fell short. Two years ago, 18 Mainers were robbed of their lives when an individual known to be dangerous had access to firearms. This measure WILL save lives.

Thoughts, no prayers, to the NRA, which can’t sell enough fear to keep the lights on. The NRA crying poor while America buries its children is the most on-brand thing imaginable. Maybe spend less on private jets and more on basic decency?

The gun industry’s worst nightmare just came true: accountability. Flooding Baltimore’s streets with ghost guns isn’t “freedom”—it’s a direct threat to public safety. This RECORD-BREAKING verdict against a gun dealer is more than justice. It will save countless lives.

I’m a proud, life-long Catholic. God didn’t arm the Minneapolis shooter, politicians did. Nothing that has been reported about the cause points to religion. It does point to a dangerous individual having easy access to weapons. Let’s stop hiding behind religion to excuse the preventable.

Deploying 1,700 armed National Guardsmen into our communities won’t make us safer. It escalates and endangers, and it diverts resources from meaningful solutions. Safety comes from strong gun laws and investing in prevention, not from soldiers with rifles in civilian settings.

Yesterday I joined Sen. Murphy, Rep. Frost, and other leaders in the movement to prevent gun violence for the reintroduction of the Office of Gun Violence Prevention Act. This bill would establish a permanent federal office focused on gun violence prevention - something we critically need.
