It’s the 8th day of the school year & I just received a call from my daughters high school informing me they arrested a child with a loaded 9mm gun on campus this morning. I am now standing in my kitchen sobbing.

I should not have to live like this.
@MomsDemand
My child should not have to live like this.

Children, actual children, should not have access to guns!

This is why I am involved with @MomsDemand. I am sick of this kind of bullshit!
This should not be normal!

I’ll continue to do this work for the safety & well being of my family & children and the safety & well being of everybody else’s family & children.

Even if you’re on the other side of the gun issue, I don’t want you to live like this either! #Enough

This cop threw 11 y/o to the sidewalk. Put her in a banned chokehold. Lied about it under oath. NYPD shut down investigation. No consequences. He’s now patrolling Yankee stadium. Making $163k/yr while posting racist & Islamaphobic content online. Your NYPD.buzzfeednews.com/article/kendal…
NYPD’s ludicrous defense of extreme violence on a child: “The department found the officer’s use of force was appropriate given the girl’s attempts to evade custody and determined his statement under oath describing the incident did not constitute a ‘false official statement.’”
Other outrage: NY law protects discipline records (least transparent in country). Took 3 yrs to unearth this. “NY residents have almost no way of finding out which officers patrolling streets have been accused of serious wrongdoing & whether they received punishment as a result.”

And when asked about whether he believes US intelligence that Russia interfered in the 2016 election, Trump brings up Clinton's server & 30,000 emails, and that Putin offered to have US investigators come to Russia to collaborate with Russian investigators. JFC.
#TreasonSummit
When asked if he believe US intelligence community that Russia interfered in our election, Trump says he doesn't see any reason why it would be Russia & Putin was very strong in his denial, then brings up DNC server & Clinton emails.
#TreasonSummit #Maddow
Recall: On Dec 23, 2016, Trump quoted Putin's disparaging comments about Hillary Clinton. And now, standing on world stage in Helsinki, Trump & Putin continue to denigrate @HillaryClinton – two weak and pathetic men terrified of a brilliant, powerful woman.

Just a reminder to the #2ndAmendment supporters. We will lose our Gun Rights if Democrats take back control. They have the majority of the indoctrinated millennial vote to make it happen. Folks, it's time to #RedPill your family and friends.
They need hard lessons from the history of an unarmed society. See the Middle East, See Germany, Uk, Austrailia. Everyone must get out and vote even if you think it doesn't matter. No matter how angry you are at this administration. A lesson from History.

My take on the new #omnibus bill, as it relates to #gunviolence:
1) The fixes to NICS (the background check system) are long overdue. I hope that they will be implemented well. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
2) I am glad that Congress clarified what CDC, NIH, and NIJ have long known: the "Dickey amendment" doesn't ban research per se. (Cf this article I wrote with @EmmyBetz & Wintemute 2 years ago: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…)
3) HOWEVER: this clarification does **nothing** to fix the lack of research. We need appropriations. Want to know more about why this clarification is meaningless (and may even be harmful)? Read here: npr.org/sections/healt…

Over the past 2 days, hundreds of doctors have shared heartbreaking accounts of how #gunviolence is a #publichealth issue. These are the stories of #docs4gunsense ... May their words make a difference.

@choo_ek @physicianwomen @darakass @gitapensa
The result of a bullet ricocheting inside the skull and destroying the brain on CT scan. The worst trauma I have seen. GUNS ARE A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE – Gen Geller MD, NY #docs4gunsense @drgenngeller
The damage a bullet does to a 1 year old brain as it ricochets back and for. The guilt the family feels. The sadness we all feel.
