Today I asked my colleagues to pass my universal firearms background checks legislation. It's supported by 90% of Americans and would save thousands of lives.
Republicans blocked it.
Three hours later, another mass shooting in UNLV.
This carnage is a choice.

There is no such thing as being “pro-life” while supporting laws that let children be shot in their schools, elders in grocery stores, worshippers in their houses of faith, survivors by abusers, or anyone in a crowded place.
It is an idolatry of violence. And it must end.

I get it. People are upset that they're paying higher prices.
But what I don't get is why people are mad at Joe Biden instead of furious at the corporate goons who raised those prices to rake in record profits.

In the 20 years since 9/11, the United States spent $8,000,000,000,000+ on war. Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds in climate, health care, and education?

I'm so old, I remember when mainstream Republicans were basically reasonable people with differing views on economics, and not a festering fucktangle of seditious democracy-hating treason-weasels
