Today @WCKitchen lost several of our sisters and brothers in an IDF air strike in Gaza. I am heartbroken and grieving for their families and friends and our whole WCK family. These are people…angels…I served alongside in Ukraine, Gaza, Turkey, Morocco, Bahamas, Indonesia. They are not faceless…they are not nameless. The Israeli government needs to stop this indiscriminate killing. It needs to stop restricting humanitarian aid, stop killing civilians and aid workers, and stop using food as a weapon. No more innocent lives lost. Peace starts with our shared humanity. It needs to start now.
We are aware of reports that members of the World Central Kitchen team have been killed in an IDF attack while working to support our humanitarian food delivery efforts in Gaza. This is a tragedy. Humanitarian aid workers and civilians should NEVER be a target. EVER.

Here’s the deal: We stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential.

THIS may upset some MAGA election deniers, so please don’t share, got it?

You can't make this shot up. What an embarassment!
What kind of SHITHOLE state does this?

The right to be free from fear in the classroom and return home after school is greater than the right to unrestricted weaponry.

Trump and MAGA should be treated exactly the same as Bin Laden and ISIS after 9/11.

Once again, we mourn for a community impacted by gun violence. We must hold this community close and commit to pursuing commonsense action to save lives. We are lowering the flags in Michigan as we stand with Tennesseans through this tragedy. We need action, now.

There it is. That's why the GOP won't help with gun control. But I'll never understand how the Supreme Court decided that it was a good idea to let companies and organizations that can't vote buy elections instead.
Hey @HouseGOP and @SenateGOP - How much of this money have you already earned this year and how many more people need to die for you to meet your target? What percentage completion does Nashville place you at?

There have been Americans who have said, "Germany, how could you allow Hitler to come to power?" "You should have seen what kind of person that is." Today, as a German, I say: "America, how could you ...?"

GOP Senator Tuberville is holding up 160 military promotions—because he can’t get his way on blocking women in the military from receiving health care. I can’t think of a worse time for Republicans to pull a stunt like this as threats against our country continue to grow.

In 1988, the federal government banned metal-tipped lawn darts because a single child died from one.

Hey dipshit, who signed the permitless carry law here in TN? I'll give you a hint. It was the same guy banning drag shows while his Lt Governor chases young boys around on the gram. You guessed it. It was you.
I am closely monitoring the tragic situation at Covenant, & the @TNDeptofSafety & @TNHighwayPatrol are assisting local law enforcement & first responders at the scene. As we continue to respond, please join us in praying for the school, congregation & Nashville community.

I call on Congress again to pass my assault weapons ban. It's about time we make some more progress.
