I am troubled by Trump, but I am even more troubled by the people who claim to be Christians that defend him… @Franklin_Graham @seanfeucht @robertjeffress @charliekirk11 Trump is vulgar and mean. He has made a vocation out of the seven deadly sins, and a mockery of the fruits of the Spirit. Trump needs Jesus. And we need a new President. We shouldn’t allow our middle school kids to act like this… let alone someone aspiring to be President. You cannot follow Jesus and Trump. Choose Jesus.

Highlight a trustworthy grassroots org doing amazing work in Marshall, NC (outside Asheville). My friends who live in Marshall have been putting in long hours with Nanostead Hub (“the Hub”). The work everyone is doing there is saving lives. Please consider supporting them

Do you guys think we can persuade suburban dads with a gun in the unlocked nightstand to choose a different toy for imaginative play?

We damage the dignity of others when we refuse to wait for them – whether they need to tie their own shoes or they are struggling to find words for the indescribable. We bestow honor on another when we consider him or her worth waiting for.

The sickest thing about today's shooting is that Republicans have the stratospheric gall to pretend they give a damn about the young people and teachers who were killed today and the hundreds who will be irreparably traumatized. We cannot let them have power again.

Charge. The. Fucking. Parents. Then unseat every lawmaker who made it easy for this child to kill four people at school with a weapon of war.

Despite Donald Trump’s asinine garbage, there is zero chance a child goes to school and returns another gender. Thanks to the GOP though, there is a chance that a child goes to a school and returns a corpse. Reject Trump. Reject Republicans. Protect our kids.

A 14-year-old whose behavior showed repeated cries for help should not be tried as an adult. The adults who kept guns in the house where the troubled 14-year-old could get them should absolutely be tried as adults.
Georgia officials want us to know that the 14-year-old boy who shot and killed two teachers and two students will be tried for murder as an adult, as if that will make us feel better. What about the actual adults who armed him? cbsnews.com/news/school-shoo…

Last year a bill offering up to $300 tax credit for purchase of gun safe storage equipment passed overwhelmingly out of the House, through Senate Finance, and was on the Senate Rules calendar. The state Senate, headed by LG Burt Jones, refused to bring it to a vote, and it died.

The students at Apalachee HS started school a month ago. Today some won’t come home, because the gun lobby’s profits were prioritized over their safety. These could be your kids. These could be my kids. So I ask what any parent would. “What are we doing about the guns?”

No one needs a weapon of rapid carnage unless they want to kill a lot of people quickly. Stop trying to gaslight us, gun nuts.

journalists, please cover this statement for exactly what it is: Brian Kemp saying that gun violence is inevitable in Georgia, including within our schools ("this is a day every parent dreads") and... that's it. he's not heartbroken. this is the world he helped build.

Republicans wear AR-15 pins because they identify more with shooters than victims.

Colt Gray is not a Drag Queen, a book, a rainbow, an M&M, a Bud Light, Target, LGBTQ, or a “Woke Company.” He’s a white child groomed by his parents, the @GOP and @NRA to believe that guns make him a man and shooting people is cool.

Unfriendly reminder that it was Georgia’s @Rep_Clyde who handed out AR-15 pins to members of Congress to wear instead of working towards a safer climate for school children. thedailybeast.com/andrew-cly…

American laws arm children with undeveloped prefrontal cortexes and then punishes them as adults for the crimes they commit, while the actual adults who armed them go free.
The teenager accused of killing four people at Apalachee High School in Barrow County was previously investigated for threats about a shooting when he was 13. His dad told authorities he had hunting guns in the house but that his son didn’t have “unsupervised access” to them.
