They usually fit a certain profile, don’t they? Deranged, hateful white men. Let’s call them what they are, #DomesticTerrorists, and prosecute them accordingly. Call your senator today and everyday until they do something about it!

Here’s an interesting article on race and mass shootings. The majority of such incidents ARE committed by white men. But the issue is more complex that I had given serious thought to. I think this article is worth a read. google.com/amp/s/www.wash…
I always find @DaveChappelle insightful and wise, especially when it comes to race. I recommend listening to his comments on mass shootings.

#GOP keeps trotting out their tired talking point about the “do-nothing-Dems” and all we can concentrate on is #Impeachment.

NOT TRUE.

What you’ll find below are 30 bills of the 300+ that #McConnell has stalled in the Senate.

When Trump says the NRA’s views will be “fully represented” in talks to #EndGunViolence, does he know they already have a president to do that? As US President, he should care more about the views of 97% of Americans who support background checks. #GiveUSAVote 1/
Senate Republicans up for reelection in states like AZ, CO, OH and ME need to stop standing with the NRA and start standing up for our kids by demanding Mitch McConnell #GiveUsAVote on background checks for gun sales. Don’t ask for our votes if you can’t do your job right now! 2/
Trump says he is “all in favor” of strong background checks for gun sales. Actions speak louder than words. He needs to get #MoscowMich McConnell to #GiveUsAVote in the Senate on measures already advanced in the House. Let’s get this done. #Enough! 3/
