NOW: Hundreds gathering at #MarchForOurLives rally at the Arizona State Capitol. These rallies are happening across the country today to push for gun reform after recent deadly mass shootings in Uvalde to Buffalo. #fox10phoenix 
Sam Crowell came from Chandler. Sheâs wearing Converse sneakers w/ a heart on them in honor of Maite Rodriguez. The 10yo victim in the Uvalde shooting wore similar shoes which reportedly helped identify her because she was mutilated so badly. #fox10phoenix #MarchForOurLives
An armed group arrives at the #MarchForOurLives rally. Probably at least seven people in tactical gear with rifles.
In every corner of this country, our movement is demanding that no more lives are lost to gun violence. #MarchForOurLives

Right now youâre probably seeing hundreds of photos and videos from the chaotic scene on #CapitolHill at the #CapitolBuilding. Or are you?
When protestors began streaming into D.C. yesterday, an unverified Twitter account with less than 1,000 followers shared a photo claiming to show the action that racked up more than 14,000 RTs. Itâs false.
It was ACTUALLY an image from the 2018 #MarchForOurLives protest. Using out-of-context pics is one way bad actors push disinformation out to thousands of social feeds during breaking news events. You could have figured that out right away with a reverse image search.
Congressman John Lewis once said âDo not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic.â

50. On Jan. 28, 2017, thousands showed up to airports in support of Muslim families impacted by Trumpâs unconstitutional #MuslimBan.
That night, a federal judge in NY issued a stay allowing people stranded in airports to temporarily avoid deportation.

Today, the families and survivors who were left to pick up the pieces are forever changed.
Since the tragedy, they have channeled their pain into activism, even as the spotlight dims amid a seemingly endless parade of shootings and political battles. hrld.us/31UFQwO

1/ THREAD: I know Iâm a little late on this one, but I was busy earlier & have some things to say about the thread @germanrlopez, a @voxdotcom senior correspondent, wrote about @BetoORourke today.
Let me help clear things up with some FACTS & RECEIPTS.

2/ First of all, Beto didnât just suddenly start caring about gun violence after the shooting in El Paso on August 3rd.
One of many examples: @BetoORourke in 2016, on the House floor, during the sit-in, speaking truth.

"The impeachment must go forward," says Warren.
Bernie says "No, they don't" have any choice other than to impeach.
Biden says Democrats have "no choice" but to begin an impeachment inquiry.

Kamala calls Trump "the most corrupt and unpatriotic president weâve ever had." Is she forgetting FDR, LBJ, Nixon? Whatever, she's on a roll.

We are all in this together. We all want the same things here. We want this maddness of trump and administration to be done with. We don't want division between us. It doesn't help anything but furthering frustration.

We need to look at the bigger picture here. Its not this group over that group. I can't stress that enough. Ive seen too much of that going on that I can't sit by anymore. Some resisters are giving up because of it. Let's stop this group division. Let's focus on the real problem
Three years ago, we sent a message that the American people wanted action to stop preventable shootingsâbut the GOP didnât want to hear it.
While they kept plugging their ears and blocking a vote in the House, the American people didnât let up. 1/

But now, those bills are facing another roadblock: Mitch McConnell & his #LegislativeGraveyard.
The bills are written.

Itâs past time for McConnell to *finally* allow a vote on these common-sense reforms to address this epidemic in the Senate. 3/3

Again, didnât threaten a primary.
I was upset that 26 Dems forced the other 200+ to vote for a pro-ICE provision at the last min without warning.
Because I think an agency that pins children down + forcibly injects them w/ antipsychotic drugs shouldnât be given more power.

What I DID say was that I had to go back to my district & share the MTR vote to explain why a pro-ICE amendment was slipped into a gun safety law.
Maybe theyâre mad bc I donât believe pro-ICE expansion votes should be cast in the dark, and people deserve to know what happened.

Here in DC, @wusa9 hosted a town hall, we saw school walkouts. voter registration drives, and the student-led #MarchForOurLives rally near the national mall.
This week #MarchForOurLives hosted a reception in our nationâs capital. The room was filled with victims and survivors of gun violence, organizers of all ages, and many members of Congress. [THREAD]

Three whole retweets. It won't get many more. I've learned that most people on Twitter simply don't have the courage to actually want to promote prospective solutions. Hand-wringing is less risky. Maybe it just feels too dangerous. Would you rather have a civil war?
