12 years ago a man walked into Sandy Hook Elementary and killed 20 children and 6 educators.

In 349 days this year, there have been 482 mass shootings, and 1,335 kids killed.

We’ve learned nothing, except how much Republicans value gun lobby money over children’s lives.

🧵Gonna keep saying this, until our leaders listen.

GROW SOME BALLS, DEMOCRATS!

Stop making excuses.
Stop negotiating with terrorists.

Just do shit, by whatever means, executive orders out the ass.

Sign the ERA, forgive all student loans, legalize pot, ALL OF IT.

Make them take it away.

It’s weird how our elections are only “rigged” when they lose.

Very much worth a listen if you've never heard this before. If you have – listen again.

What an achievement vaccines are. What a monument to our love for each other it is to stare straight into the face of something as horrific and unstoppable as smallpox or measles or polio or cervical cancer and say “You know what, it doesn’t have to be like this.”

HUMANS!

I watch Haka’s like it’s my job already. This one is going to be on repeat.
Māori MPs briefly suspended the Aotearoa parliament’s attempts to reinterpret their founding treaty in the most bad ass use of the Haka I’ve ever seen.

Elia shared this pic of the grape harvest in Arvin CA. Each container of grapes weighs approximately 40 pounds so this load was around 200 pounds of grapes. #WeFeedYou

South Dakota Senator John Thune, widely considered an establishment moderate, was elected today as the Majority Leader of the Senate—and MAGA supporters are fuming.

Thune: "We want to make sure our committees have confirmation hearings like they typically do ... but we expect a level of cooperation from the Democrats."

Thune also confirms that the filibuster will remain unchanged.
