Firearms were the leading cause of death for American children and teens in 2020.

Uvalde is a largely Latino community. At a press conference earlier today about the shooting, authorities said nothing in Spanish and did not address any Spanish-speaking journalists.

Basically the Tories have just given back the money they took away from universal credit last year. It’s the same Tory trick as with police numbers. First they cut them by 20,000 and then expect praise for 13,000 “new” officers. They take us for fools.

1. I see that Polyface-style farming – chickens following cattle around the fields – is now taking off in the UK. And people are saying, “isn’t it wonderful – the chickens don’t need to be fed.” Let’s think about this for a moment. 🧵

So... @WhatTheTrans just got suspended from Twitter, and we have no idea why.
@Twitter, WTT just happened? We did nothing wrong, maybe give it back? 😬😬😬
@ trans twitter, please RT and bother Twitter about it if you can, we would appreciate it 💔

This may be one of the saddest things I’ve read in my life. My god. Is there a fundraiser for these children?

Unbelievably, #Government have confirmed that oil and gas companies can largely avoid the windfall tax by re-investing their profits.
And there will be no tax relief for investment in renewables!
You read correctly. NO TAX RELIEF FOR INVESTMENT IN RENEWABLES 🤯
#WindfallTax

Wow. We do not treat racism as a matter of opinion. And yet I was just told that antisemitism IS a matter of opinion and I should accept it. Moreover, I should accept it quietly. I should accept that I work with people who have a different opinion on my whole ethnoreligious group – at San Diego, CA

“The horror,” said James Baldwin, over four decades ago, “is that America… changes all the time, without ever changing at all.”

This thread will be dedicated to the victims of the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
As a parent, my heart is broken seeing these faces and their ages.
My condolences to their families during this difficult time 🙏🏻

Black people trying to buy groceries, Taiwanese Christians trying to worship, and elementary school kids trying to go to class. One week.

The issue is money in politics.
They’re allowing children to die because of the gun lobby.
They’re allowing the planet to die because of Big Oil.
They’re allowing people to go without healthcare and die because of the insurance lobby.
Inaction is bought.

In Judaism, if you say a prayer over something, then fail to do the requisite action that follows, like blessing bread and not eating it, it’s a bracha levatla - which is a sinful act.
If you pray for victims of gun violence but do nothing, it is a sinful act.
