"It wasn't mental health that killed these people, it was an automatic rifle with bullets... I'm a former police officer, a former Army officer. These M4s, AR-15s, they've got to get off the streets or this is going to keep happening" - Allen, TX mall shooting witness Steven Spainhouer tells @CapehartJ on @weekendcapehart

This month in the US, people were shot for ringing the wrong doorbell, getting into the wrong car, using a leaf blower, delivering food to the wrong address, driving into the wrong driveway, and for asking a neighbor to stop shooting so a baby could sleep. It’s the fucking guns.

I can’t get over how this video was taken in 2023 but it looks and sounds like history already. Gen Z is making history.

Thank God that @RepBowman will stand up for American children. A former middle school principal, his emotion is clear in the video. As it should be. We shouldn’t be calm when children are being massacred.

THIS is what it looks like when Republicans piss off Gen Z. What you’re seeing is the scene at the Tennessee State Legislature right now. Young people are angry. We’re outraged. And we’re done with thoughts & prayers. Gen Z will save us.

Now do government-mandated pregnancies.
A government that thinks it can control what stove you use is a government with too much power.

This once-in-a-century humiliation of a party’s nominee for Speaker is chickens coming home to roost for McCarthy, who whitewashed right-wing insurrectionism on the House floor. Nobody’s getting killed now, but the House GOP now sleeps in the bed they made with Trump and Bannon.

Motivated now?
If we get Georgia we get to ignore one of these people for the next two years.

Anti-Blackness and antisemitism are not symptoms of mental illness.

The next few months I will be working day and night to register as many Gen Z voters in Florida as possible. Our nation’s youngest deserve a strong voice in our governments. Every follow and rt will help in the journey to reach the youth. Fight with me to give Gen Z a voice!
