There are military weapons being used to kill us. I wonder how we could keep them out of enemy hands? How many innocents have been killed by UFO’s? Someone please primary this guy

There are aircraft defying physics in our airspace. How do we keep them out of enemy hands?

Congratulations to @Tennessean 2023 People of the Year: the five @MNPDNashville officers who entered The Covenant School to confront the assailant after the murder of six people: Det. Ryan Cagle, Det. Michael Collazo, Ofcr. Rex Engelbert, Det. Sgt. Jeff Mathes and Det. Zachary Plese I had a chance to sit down with most of the officers recently and they shared their reflections on this past year. “I kind of look at it as, the awards are there, but I would give it all back for that day to not have happened,” Collazo told me. Thank you to @Andrew_Nelles for visuals and @_steph_amador for assisting. Link: tennessean.com/story/opinion…

Substitute then for now, and racism with gun worship, and every word of this applies today.

"I believe prayer can change lives. I believe prayer can change the world. But there is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem that we are unwilling to solve ourselves." Powerful speech by a young state rep in Texas, confronting a bill to further LOOSEN gun laws there. Please listen. Worth your time.
Jack Jenkins@jackmjenkins10 May 2023
Critiquing a gun-related bill today, TX Rep. James Talarico—a Presbyterian seminarian—rejected 'thoughts and prayers' rhetoric. "There is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem that we're not willing to solve ourselves. God moves, God works through us."

So True! @SenatorHagerty , FIX IT! LEAD!
Senator Mitt Romney
@SenatorRomney4 May 2023
The American people expect us to work on a bipartisan basis to address the challenges our country faces. Instead of constantly posturing and blaming the other party, we need to come together to tackle our growing debt crisis.

Politicking and Blame Games Won’t Solve Our Fiscal Challenges

Senator Romney urged his colleagues to put posturing aside and come together to save the U.S. from defaulting on its debt, rein in federal spending, and address the main drivers of the debt.

VANDERBILT POLL: “There is strong support for action (on gun reform) even from MAGA Republicans and strong supporters of the NRA.” @TNGOP, there is no political danger for enacting responsible gun laws.

This is very hard to read.But every person in America needs to read this. And if you’re opposed to red flag laws, or background checks or a ban on assault weapons you need to read this twice, and look in the mirror and ask yourself if it’s really worth it nytimes.com/2023/04/20/magaz…

The crime-scene investigators are the ones who document, and remember, the unimaginable. This is what they saw at Sandy Hook.
