We are relaunching our award-winning and unique illustrated book on Gun Violence. The book was featured by @aft.org & has received great reviews. It is a training tool for activists and a quick read for others. The wonderful illustrator is @violetlemay.bsky.social

Income inequality just keeps growing and social unrest, crime, and the embrace of authoritarians go along with such a dramatic trend: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

I got into this business because of The Washington Post. I was inspired by its Watergate coverage. It’s saddening & maddening to see what’s happening there. Bezos is ruining one of the great—though far from perfect—journalistic institutions. This wasn’t inevitable. It’s the choice of an oligarch.

Trump’s comments didn’t “scramble” gun politics. They exposed it. For years, the gun lobby has sold the fantasy that flooding our country with guns makes us safer. Now, when the consequences of that ideology are impossible to ignore, even its biggest champions are squirming 🧵

The Trump regime, in another step toward authoritarian control and repression of all dissenters, has arrested journalist Don Lemon to intimidate us all. Their efforts will not work but they are turning the Bill of Rights on its head. Stand up for democracy & the Constitution everyone.

When @tomgabor.bsky.social and I wrote American Carnage, we were accused of being extremists. Why? Because we wrote the truth. I always argued I was a bigger supporter of the 2A because of my commitment to safety. Based upon the comments of Trump today, gun rights people ought to read our book.

There is a legitimate concern that Trump will use his war with Iran to consolidate power using the pretext that we must be protected from terrorism. He has used emergency powers far more often than previous presidents. This is right from the authoritarian playbook. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Hear me loud and clear: This decision WILL cost lives. At the start of Mental Health Awareness Month, the mental health lifeline is being axed for #CO farmers + ranchers, a population whose suicide rate is 2 times higher than average. This is despicable. This is cruel. This is unAmerican.
