    Late last night, Republicans passed legislation to make Pennsylvania a permitless concealed carry commonwealth. Instead of creating more jobs or protecting our students, Republicans are spending time relaxing gun laws. Today, they're going to make it harder to vote.

    I mean… Idk what else to say & it’s not like my words carry more weight than scientists who’ve been warning us. But it makes ZERO sense that we shut down in-person school for alpha variant but are reopening during a surge of a more deadly delta variant as pediatric ICUs fill up

    We couldn’t even revel in our bit of relief for George Floyd without news that Columbus police killed 15 year old Makiyah Bryant. We don’t just want you to convict police. We want you to stop killing Black people! That is what we want!

    Don’t legitimize state violence and then ask protestors for peace. Stop requiring from the people a level of restraint and docility you won’t ask of from the police beating and tear gassing them in the streets.
