I’m a gun owner. My entire inheritance from my dad was guns.
That said, we should regulate guns.

Have spent pretty much today’s daylight hours with my besties over home-made festive brunch.
We ended our 5 hours together by rounding-up her chickens.
I’ve discovered that I like 🐓🐓, however, when it comes to picking them up, I’m not quite so fond - in fact, I’m a little bit of a chicken myself! 🤦🏼♀️

Warnock: "Any nation that tolerates this kind of violence year after year, decade after decade in random places, on our college and school campuses, without doing all that we can to stop it is broken and in need of moral repair."

Rand Paul: "The president also said, 'Be careful Colombia, you could be next.' I mean, if we're gonna go and topple regime after regime in South America, there's no amount of money that could be printed to pay for that and I don't think lives should be lost without a vote by Congress."

I'm refraining from saying more or sharing facts about gun violence right now because it's all been said before. Repetition doesn't get us anywhere.

My kids woke up so excited this morning for the first night of Hannukah and now yet again we have a festival where I’m very conflicted about whether it’s safe to take them to synagogue to celebrate. Communities shouldn’t have to live like this.

Intentionally killing innocent people is always wrong.
Wherever in the world it happens.
You might think everyone agrees with this simple moral principle, and yet far too many people, on far too many different sections of the political spectrum, try and make exceptions to it.

Haaland: Affordability is real. We have a president downplaying the suffering that people are experiencing in our country. He is not listening. He’s in a bubble, and you can look at him and see that he’s never had to worry about missing a meal himself.

happy bday French poet Paul Éluard, b.1895.
“Your eyes in which I travel
Have given to signs along the roads
A meaning alien to the earth.”
“She is always unwilling to understand, to listen,
She laughs to hide her fear of herself.
She has always walked beneath the arches of nights...

on this day in 2012, 20 children and 6 adults are killed in mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT. And with the awful shooting at Brown University yesterday, we still haven't done anything on meaningful national gun laws. Enough is enough.
