“Death and destruction” - one of Trump’s most explicit calls to violence yet.
Each time he escapes accountability, he goes on to commit worse and worse misconduct.
To allow this man near the levers of power again would be nothing short of madness.

AMAZING: This fed-up mother and mass shooting survivor GOES OFF.
"HOW IS THIS STILL HAPPENING? How are our children still dying and why are we failing them?"

It's the guns.
OK, we'll ban the drag queens.
No, it's the guns.
OK, we'll make sure to lock the doors.
“We need to remember, the side door, I don’t know the exact facts of this moment but from what I understand a side door was unlocked. That seems to be a common pattern in many of the these shootings. A side door”
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Covenant School suspect shot and entered through a locked door. They did not enter through an unlocked side door.

🚨#BREAKING McCarthy’s GOP has *postponed* their hearing to help mass shooters. Postponed *NOT* cancelled. Which means they fear the optics not the policy. That is consciousness of guilt.

Children are on the FRONTLINES of gun violence. The most likely reason a child would die in this country is because they were shot to death. THIS IS A POLICY FAILURE.
I WILL NOT STOP OR RELENT TILL OUR PEOPLE ARE SAFE.
JUST IN: At least 3 children killed in shooting at private Christian elementary school in Nashville, a local hospital confirms. The shooter was killed by police. cnn.it/42IUTc4

Now one cannot be mentally far from the war. Now it is important that as many Ukrainians as possible help the defense of the state, help the accumulation of world support for our victory.
The strength of 🇺🇦 is the strength of all those who fight for 🇺🇦 and who help the warriors.

Every day between now and 2024, I’ll be fighting to make sure Republicans who refuse to act on gun violence are voted out of office. This must change & it is in our hands. No children should have to experience what happened today. Period.

Thank you, @NicoleHester90, for capturing what words can’t. Every elected official should be shown this photo and be asked what their message is to this young girl who is traumatized for the rest of her life because of failed gun policies by Republicans.
Jennifer Engesser retweeted
Just let this photo from today sink in. This is America. This is our country. This is what children & young people have to deal with. How is this okay? We deserve so much better.

"The Maybe Trumpers are open to alternatives, he said, but having voted for Trump twice, 'you will never, ever get these folks admitting they made a mistake,' meaning they do not take kindly to criticisms of the former president. This is why Trump’s rivals for the nomination have been so reluctant to take him on directly." – at Washington, DC
Why we’re still stuck in Trump’s world. The GOP electorate & the nature of the places they represent push party leaders toward timidity. Until they discover the fortitude to defy the incentives, Trump’s neuroses will dominate our politics.

It’s real simple… gun safety laws equals less gun violence.
Just ask:
Canada
Germany
England
France
Spain
Austria
Switzerland
Norway
Sweden
Finland
New Zealand
Australia
Japan
South Korea

The GOP & NRA have the blood of the children at Covenant Christian on their hands.

At least 3 children are dead in another school shooting. Yet the GOP-led Judiciary Committee is passing a resolution tomorrow to make it easier for mass shooters to obtain pistol stabilizing braces. They must cancel this hearing now.
Jennifer Engesser retweeted
it's hard to believe that ten years of not doing a fucking thing didn't stop school shootings

Republicans have gone too far! In Wisconsin 1st graders are now banned from singing a song called Rainbowland by Dolly Parton and Miley Cyrus. It’s about accepting others. ❤️ if you support Dolly and Miley!

Senator Blackburn took $1.25 million from the NRA.

We are failing our children. Guns are now the leading cause of death for children in the U.S.
Michelle and I mourn with the students and families of the Covenant School today.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
According to the CDC, accidents are the leading cause of death for children and adolescents.
The claim that guns are the leading cause of death for children would only be true if children under 1 are excluded and 18 and 19 year olds are counted as children.
