The moral question for our nation is this: Is running from police a death sentence? #EthicalCops

Seven years ago today, 49 people were shot and killed and 53 more were injured at Pulse nightclub in Orlando. In the face of bigoted legislation and hate-fueled violence, we must do more to protect LGBTQ+ people—to prevent the next shooting and so everyone can be who they are.
But, aren't the 2A Republicans the ones who refuse to talk about universal background checks, increase funding for mental illness, or remove guns from the homes of those w/propensity for violence? How does she propose we "identify" these folks without these tools?
Virginia’s gun extremist Lieutenant Governor says shootings in the state are not caused by easy access to guns, but by her administration’s failure to identify gunmen before they open fire and to jail them pre-crime. 🤔

Proud to be woke.
Kindness is woke.
Compassion is woke.
Generosity is woke,
Love is woke.
To those who traffic in this latest war cry, to be woke is to be deeply human.
And that humanity will be the foe they cannot defeat and are right to fear.
#Woke will win.

The gun lobby's lies are causing genocide. I'm sick of blood running in our streets.
Several people were just shot following a graduation celebration. We can either do nothing and continue to let people die. Or we can demand the people we elected do their damn job and protect us. What’s not gonna end this is more debate. We need discussion and action. Now.

Everyone who puts on the uniform should be able to serve without fear of discrimination just because of who they are.

Three years ago, George Floyd woke up with breath in his lungs & dreams to pursue, but those were ruthlessly stolen from him.
As his name echoed the streets, awakening a movement for justice and equality, we will remember him not only as a victim, but as a catalyst for change.
This.
Christian, stop spending so much time and energy trying to make LGBTQ people "not LGBTQ". Jesus never asked you to do that.
Instead, try making:
hungry people less hungry,
hurting people less hurt,
lonely people not feel alone.
Jesus told you to do that.

Nobody who behaves this way should have a gun & badge. Full stop. #EthicalCops have to call out those who do not belong in our profession. @NYPDPC is this cop fired?

This is the leadership we need nationwide to address gun violence. Thank you, @GovWesMoore
I'm going to be aggressive on this.
I refuse to sit while tragedy after tragedy occurs, waiting for Congress to do something.
I refuse to allow the NRA to determine what type of policies we are allowed to pass to keep children safe and to reduce gun violence.

This is the police reform we need. More empathy and compassion, not just arrests as the answer. So proud of you @DtownGuardian keep up the great work!

Fascinating read from @radleybalko
New at The Watch:
An in-depth look at the flaws in forensic firearms analysis. This field has been used in U.S. courts for a century and sent tens of thousands of people to prison, despite no firm foundation in science.
A quick thread . . .

🔥🔥 Truth. Guns used by the cartels to terrorize, murder, and enforce the drug trades come from US gun manufacturers. Another critical gun safety issue this country must acknowledge and deal with.
All the Republicans advocating to send the U.S. military into Mexico to stop fentanyl should be asked if they'd also be okay with Mexico and other Latin American countries sending troops to the U.S. to stop U.S.-manufactured guns that arm gangs and cartels.

"It’s not enough for decent people who aspire to the best of religion to say, “I’m not like them” and to remain silently complicit."
@johnpavlovitz 100% Every single word.
The political Right in American is the worst kind of drag show: that of hateful, heartless bigots pretending to be Christian. They are self-identified disciples of Jesus with no have interest in his empathy, generosity, or love.

Call your legislator and demand gun safety laws!
🚨This is it, people. The final House vote on the Common Agenda to End Gun Violence will be next week, as early as Monday.
Gun extremists are flooding legislators with opposition calls. The only way we win these votes is if you contact your Rep. NOW, here:act.ceasefirepa.org/a/common…
Gun safety is public safety. @fred_guttenberg is right. The 2A is not absolute, as the late Justice Scalia also said. We must stop listening to the liars.
Former Chief Justice Burger spoke truth about the 2A back in 1991 as groups like the NRA were redefining it. LISTEN TO THIS AND STOP LISTENING TO THE LIARS!!!
