Guns are the leading cause of death for young people in America — this is a five alarm fire and our leaders in Washington have ignored it for too long. Americans are tired of waiting around for Congress to decide that protecting kids matters.

The way that white male podcasters/public figures—and not only/mostly talking about Ezra— are clearly panicking about their own personal safety in wake of Kirk is so indicative of how proportionally less violence they fear/face every day their whole lives.
And obvs others face more than I. Still.

@abcnewsbot.bsky.social @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy @nbcnews.com you don’t have to jump into regular programming with “breaking news” every time the president speaks. It can wait until your next broadcast. You know why.

Not gonna lie, the text messages from the Kirk shooter seem… weird. The grammar in these texts from someone in their early 20s who is talking to their partner about having just done this kind of thing reads more like an older millennial. Idk maybe he always texts like that.

Now that DOJ is charging the guy who threw a Subway sandwich at law enforcement with a felony, I am calling on Subway to introduce a new sandwich for Trump. It should be 3 inches.

As someone who lived in New Orleans during the thing you call Katrina, I’m here to say that the time to politicize governmental failure in a tragedy is when anyone is still paying attention.

@ryanobles.bsky.social No Kings was about our system of checks & balances. It wasn’t right for you to lead off with it being anti ICE on Today this morning. Talk to people on the ground instead of listening to other media outlets.

@todayshow.com doesn’t need to report on any possible cognitive decline in former president Biden. How about wishing him well and then a report on the current president’s mental fitness? Do better.

Instead of addressing any of that – this administration is picking a fight with Denmark.

I second this.
I’m totally fine with deporting gang members who commit crimes who don’t have legal status.
I just don’t want Tom Homan or an ICE agent grabbing anyone off the street and flying them to a prison in El Salvador while claiming they are all of those things with zero due process.
