Missouri’s controversial GOP-backed gun law that banned local police from enforcing federal gun laws was rejected by SCOTUS.

The law imposed $50K fines for officers who enforced federal gun laws, including possession of firearms by some domestic violence offenders & weapons registration/tracking.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Just sitting down to read the news that includes mass shootings at a Mormon church in MI and at a waterfront bar in NC. Still too soon to talk about gun reform? #ItsTheFuckingGuns

You can hate insurance companies but I can’t understand why so many people here are supporting Luigi. Didn’t we just go through a week of “gun violence is wrong even if the person is horrible”??

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

I’ve passed lots of National Guard in DC but today was my first time seeing them with long guns. Can confirm I did not feel safer.

It happens to an average 125 Americans a day. Can we all be upset about this every day and not just when it’s in the news.

Do not share the video of the shooting. It will further traumatize gun violence survivors.

Liz Stein, a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse, gave some important and powerful advice to other survivors of abuse - tell someone, if they don't listen tell someone else, do not remain silent. Her courage is incredible.

They are not so much defending trans people as much as they are saying “we’re not going to let you take any guns off the street” but I’ll take it.

Oh my god, Trump actually got the NRA to come out to defend trans people owning a gun.

Emotional day on the Hill as survivors spoke publicly (some for the first time) about the abuse by Epstein & Maxwell. A large crowd then gathered for a press conference to introduce the Epstein Files Transparency Act. #BelieveSurvivors

Made it safely through the DC hellscape 🙄 to the Smithsonian Renwick Gallery. Great exhibit on state fair crafts including the butter cow, beautiful quilts and crop art portraits. Definitely check it out if you’re in town and make sure to stop for lunch or dinner to help out the restaurants.
