Kids are playing #SquidGame-inspired games at school, creating a Venn diagram of innocence, imagination & playground violence (even if they haven't seen the show). Thanks to @DrHinaTalib & @DrKorb for their helpful insight. Note, I do like the series! washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2021

Gun manufacturers & distributors have been shielded from the mass destruction they cause for too long.
Today, CA changes that.
I just signed a bill that will allow victims of gun violence to sue the makers of these deadly weapons & hold them accountable.

Also, that’s “live forever” meaning in concert for several years, not immortality, which probably has a lot of emotional baggage & unforeseen issues attached to it and shouldn’t be thrown around lightly. Still, eat your veggies and drink plenty of water. Wear sunscreen.

The Supreme Court doesn’t give a fuck about about life. They’re trying to dismantle state gun laws even though gun violence is the leading cause of death among children and teens in America.

Appalling. Dangerous. Disgraceful. We strip Women’s rights away, while turning a blind eye to the outrageous gender split in gun violence and the fact that men are overwhelmingly the ones pulling the trigger. Women deserve better.

The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act is a step in the right direction in protecting our children and communities. It demonstrates how much we can accomplish when we work together, even in the wake of today’s disappointing Supreme Court ruling on guns.

THIS IS HUGE: The Senate just passed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act—the first major federal gun safety bill to pass the Senate in 26 YEARS! This is what we have been working towards for nearly a decade, and it’s one step closer to becoming law. #GunLawsSaveLives

Why are voters, especially in a fairly forward-thinking state like CA, allowing Big Oil to dictate energy and climate policy? Asking for a planet.

It's fascinating the GOP playbook is so easy to see, plain as day:
a) make problem (eg gun control, homelessness, pandemic, gas prices) worse
b) uses media to bleat and launder the idea that this is Democrats' fault
c) literally profit, also get re-elected probably

We need to:
Ban assault weapons — and if we can’t, then we should raise the age to purchase them from 18 to 21.
Ban high-capacity magazines.
Strengthen background checks.
Enact safe storage laws and red flag laws.
Repeal gun manufacturers’ immunity from liability.
