The mere PRESENCE of a gun in the home increases the risk of suicide by 300%, and the leading FORMER gun violence prevention org is going to train you on how to purchase a gun.
Their BeSMART training addressed all of this, including unintentional (not accidental) shootings. Live fire and marksmanship training will do NOTHING to prevent kids from accessing unsecured guns. They are selling a class on how to BUY a gun 👇🏻.

I’ve voted for a primary challenger against DeGette for the last (3?) cycles…I don’t know much about Kiros but it’s way past time for DeGette to be out of Congress.
She Lost Her Job for Speaking Out About Gaza. Can It Power Her to Congress?

Justice Democrats endorsed Melat Kiros in Denver as the progressive group looks to recover from crushing losses to AIPAC-backed candidates last cycle.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has proposed disastrous cuts to our city's libraries while setting aside $5M for a ShotSpotter replacement. As library associate Sara Heymann told me, “Libraries embody everything we need to fight back against fascism.” My piece on what’s at stake and how to fight back:
You Can’t Fight Fascism While Defunding Libraries
“Libraries embody everything that we need right now to fight back against fascism," says Sara Heymann.

She shouldn't have to keep doing this by herself. She is supposedly a member of a political party and every single one of her *colleagues* should be BLASTING the fascist in chief. ALL OF THEM. Where is the solidarity???

it is ILLEGAL (i realize the law is made up but…) to deny a parent request for an IEP evaluation and yet the comment below happens ALL THE TIME. It’s ENRAGING.

You think kids are getting accommodated too much? I think we’re barely scratching the surface of what kids need.
We fought with the school for 3 fucking years before we could get in front of the IEP evaluator, because Principles make it their lives mission to quash these requests and make your life miserable for pursuing it. It fucking sucks.

✨alright big day of giving a few thousand dollars of stuff away yesterday. thank you all again, so much for getting in on the fun. we couldn’t be more proud of you.

it’s unfortunately time for us to try and pay our own bills now.

so, hey, buy some stuff? it’s really cool stuff. ✨
good morning, beautiful people!

it's ✨Shameless Self Promotion Saturday✨ once again
