Police Chief Brian O’Hara has delivered a blunt message to his department: If an officer witnesses ICE agents using illegal force and fails to step in, they will be fired. 👏 👏 👏

We’re the only country that lets the gun lobby write the laws and then pretends to be shocked when children end up in coffins. NEW UPDATE: The San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office has announced that four of the victims shot in the Stockton mass shooting were ages 8, 9, 14, and 21.

The response to the shooting is naturally to send hundreds more guardsmen instead of considering for just a moment that maybe we have too easy access to guns. We cannot police ourselves out of our gun violence epidemic.

Thank you @vanhollen.senate.gov!

She lost her son to gun violence. Now she’s part of a movement credited with Baltimore’s crime drop

Hot take but the president openly calling for the murder of his political opposition should be grounds for immediate impeachment and removal for office.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

You'd think the President calling for the execution of political opponents would warrant some type of news alert.

Important: House Dem leaders just said Trump's call for execution of Dems has prompted them to contact US Capitol Police and House Sergeant at Arms to "ensure the safety of these members and their families." Treat Trump like an unhinged menace. He's weak and in deep political trouble. Don't let up.

VICTORY! Thanks to the tireless efforts of our volunteers, survivors, and community partners, Oregon has taken a huge step forward by closing the machine gun loophole. Today, Governor Tina Kotek signed this legislation into law! @tinakotek.bsky.social

In case it's not clear, there is sooooo much organizing happening right now against this regime. It's really amazing.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

While I’m glad this information is coming out my heart is breaking for the family of Virginia Giuffre. I was there when they spoke in DC and can’t imagine how painful this is.

We’re not doing enough, ladies. Let’s fuck shit up.

Every race. It’s basically been every race. Governors. Mayors. Long-held GOP dog-catchers. School boards. Water boards. Flipped a dungeon master in a rural Iowa D&D club. State senators. State reps. A janitor in Duluth. State justices. Three GOP Uber drivers. Just everything.

Good morning ☀️

Something to take into account. Abigail Spanberger got her start in politics via Moms Demand. We talk a lot about the Trump effect and Dobbs radicalizing suburban women with degrees. But I think we miss just how school shootings served as a sparkplug for the suburban shift for educated women.

Let’s go Maryland!

Day 30 of President Trump’s Federal Government Shutdown: In response to the President’s illegal refusal to deploy emergency federal funding to keep food assistance running, I am declaring a State of Emergency. We will surge $10 million to food banks and food bank partners across the state.

MacKenzie Scott makes historic, $38 million donation to University of Maryland Eastern Shore

Was a great day at #NoKings NYC

Missouri’s controversial GOP-backed gun law that banned local police from enforcing federal gun laws was rejected by SCOTUS. The law imposed $50K fines for officers who enforced federal gun laws, including possession of firearms by some domestic violence offenders & weapons registration/tracking.

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Just sitting down to read the news that includes mass shootings at a Mormon church in MI and at a waterfront bar in NC. Still too soon to talk about gun reform? #ItsTheFuckingGuns

Kimmel hat 😀

You can hate insurance companies but I can’t understand why so many people here are supporting Luigi. Didn’t we just go through a week of “gun violence is wrong even if the person is horrible”??

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

I’ve passed lots of National Guard in DC but today was my first time seeing them with long guns. Can confirm I did not feel safer.

Earlier today, both Senate President Ferguson and Speaker Jones received bomb threats at their homes. Thankfully, these threats were deemed non-credible.

Do not share the video of the shooting. It will further traumatize gun violence survivors.

The ONLY question here: HOW did a child gain access to 23 firearms?

Liz Stein, a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse, gave some important and powerful advice to other survivors of abuse - tell someone, if they don't listen tell someone else, do not remain silent. Her courage is incredible.

I’m sure you’re all hearing the same thing I am.

Thank you Maryland @studentsdemand.bsky.social!

They are not so much defending trans people as much as they are saying “we’re not going to let you take any guns off the street” but I’ll take it.

Emotional day on the Hill as survivors spoke publicly (some for the first time) about the abuse by Epstein & Maxwell. A large crowd then gathered for a press conference to introduce the Epstein Files Transparency Act. #BelieveSurvivors

I am honored to receive the endorsement of Everytown for Gun Safety, the largest gun violence prevention organization in America. As mayor, I’ll continue to treat gun violence prevention like the life-saving issue it is.

NO MORE BUSINESS AS USUAL! We’re walking out of classes nationwide on September 5 to demand action on gun violence. Make your voice heard and learn how to organize a walkout at your school: Text WALKOUT to 644-33 or click here: https://etwn.us/47oBrWY

Baltimore records 7 homicides in August, fewest on record in half-century

Made it safely through the DC hellscape 🙄 to the Smithsonian Renwick Gallery. Great exhibit on state fair crafts including the butter cow, beautiful quilts and crop art portraits. Definitely check it out if you’re in town and make sure to stop for lunch or dinner to help out the restaurants.

Baltimore is doing just fine

I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.

Republican Alabama congressman running for Senate booed at town hall, leaves out the back www.al.com/politics/202...

This photo hits me so hard, you can feel the intensity to get to her child. She is all of us.

“We’re going to continue at @momsdemand.bsky.social to do everything we can to make sure that there are solutions, we actually can do some common sense things and take measures that will help to protect our communities.” Thank you @ferrellzabala.bsky.social, we will keep going!

Jones responds to Ogles…

Back to school should never mean back to school shootings. This is the devastating reality of America’s gun violence crisis—and it will not end until lawmakers take meaningful action. Text READY to 644-33 to join us in demanding they do just that.

BREAKING: In a shocking upset minutes ago, Democrat Catelin Drey just FLIPPED an Iowa State Senate seat from red to blue and broke the Iowa GOP's supermajority in the state senate.

ICE getting routed in my old DC Columbia Heights hood. Public, viral, resistance is the only way to prevent them from selling the idea that we love our red state military occupation are it’s a solution to urban ills Trump/Bondi/drunk Pirro are lying. Here’s how to expose the lie.
