Three kids and three officials gunned down in yet another mass shooting.
And what are GOP officials focused on?
Punishing lawmakers who joined thousands of peaceful protesters calling for action.
It's shocking, undemocratic, and without precedent.
Breaking news: GOP-led Tennessee House expels first of three Democratic lawmakers who joined gun-control protests after Nashville school shooting. Lawmakers will consider expulsions of the two additional Democrats. wapo.st/3nSjJ9y
This is what a lack of gun control is doing to our children. It's unconscionable. Heartbreaking.
AMERICAN DEPRAVITY: A child weeps while on a school bus leaving the Covenant School to go to a reunification center after a mass shooting. Three students and three adults were killed by a shooter who was killed by police.

It doesn’t make sense to us either! A fair contract will change this and help us retain valuable staff. #UWLibraryStrike #RespectProtectPayUs #UnionsForAll @SEIU925 @UW

The final countdown is here! We are counting down the hours to our strike from @UW Seattle outside of Suzzallo Library. We are overdue for a fair contract. Tick tock UW management. #UWlibrarySTRIKE #UnionsForAll #RespectProtectPayUs @SEIU925

1 Day! We realized we'd been off a day. Surprise! This is the final countdown! @UW now is the time to make things right. Fair compensation now or we strike tomorrow. @SEIU925 #UWlibrarySTRIKE #UnionsForAll #RespectProtectPayUs

Our Libraries' catalog is the gateway to resources for all 3 campuses. Keeping up w/ maintenance & developing fixes is crucial to the user experience. When we strike, this is one of the many impact pts. #UWLibraryStrike #UnionsForAll #RespectProtectPayUs #uwlibrariesimpact @UW

Why do we have a strike date set? When you compare UW library and UW press worker wages to other U.S. universities and account for the Puget Sound’s high cost of living, @UW wages rank 96th lowest among 100. Folks literally can’t afford to work at this institution. 😬

"You need a spouse/partner/generational wealth to subsidize @UW library salaries right now and that leads to a less and less diverse workforce."

I've been on several failed searches
@uw where we simply were't paying enough to hire good candidates. @UWLibUnion
"If @UW really wants to be a world-class institution, it must be able to recruit and retain diverse libraries staff. But the libraries is losing staff faster than we can hire."

A reasonable proposal in a reasonable time frame would show that @uw respects their employees. Right now it just doesn’t feel like they do. It’s sad.
"There is no reason the process needs to take so long, and it’s in the best interests of all parties to reach a deal." All organized workers deserve a fair contract in a timely fashion. @SecMartyWalsh gets it - does @uw? seattletimes.com/opinion/pro…
