Another mass shooting in America, this time at a bar in Thousand Oaks CA. At least 12 dead.

They join the 30,000 Americans who die from guns every year.

75% of Americans want sensible gun reform. Yet the GOP, bought out by the NRA, DOES NOTHING.

How many must die @GOP?
Twelve people killed in shooting at the Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks, California. Ventura County sheriff's deputy among the dead, police say.

Eyewitnesses say shooter opened fire in a packed bar during college night.

75% of Americans want common sense gun control.

94% want mandatory comprehensive background checks.

81% banning bump stocks.

73% banning high capacity clips.

72% banning assault weapons.

I haven’t seen it, but I can imagine the NRA response.

Imagine hundreds of college kids armed with AK-47s shooting at each other in a closed space.

As insane an idea as shooting into a chaotic situation with panicked school children running for their lives.

To protect profits.

The Trump admin cut the advertising budget for the ACA by 90%.

FOIA obtained emails show this was knowingly designed to harm enrollment, and they repeatedly lied about that fact.

Dem House oversight puts an end to the sabotage. Remember what they did when they had the power.
On a call w/ reporters, in response to whether HHS had studied the efficacy of advertising, an official said, “We haven’t done a specific study related to the public awareness of the program.”

It was a lie. They had, & knew it would harm enrollment.

huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-ve…
The day open enrollment began, the Trump administrator of ACA benefits wrote a tweet designed to scare Americans away from enrolling.

Now that Dems have won House oversight, she’s promoting enrollment. Oversight stops the sabotage.

Marathon Petroleum, largest US oil refiner, is running a secret campaign to push the Trump’s proposal to lower vehicle emissions standards.

We have so much oil, you see, we don’t need to conserve!

Climate scientists give us 10 years to cut carbon or suffer untold misery. 🤷‍♂️
Man made climate change is warming the arctic at a pace that is “unlike any other period on record.” It’s warming TWICE AS FAST the rest of the planet’s average temp, according to NOAA.

The hour is very late.
Our doom approaches,
and we’re regressing.

cnn.com/2018/12/11/wor…
A doomsday cult alliance of the Koch Bros and the oil industry worked behind the scenes to increase their wealth at the cost of the next generation’s lives.

They know climate change is real, they just won’t survive to suffer it’s greatest misery.

Rubio has an A+ rating, & has taken $3.3 million from the NRA. He is just one of many R’s (Cruz) who are handmaidens to the gun lobby. The safety of the public is not as important as their #NRABloodMoney.

Let’s dispel gun myths the NRA constantly parrots. tampabay.com/florida-politi…
“Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.”
This is probably the most common argument heard from gun advocates. It’s true that guns can’t kill by themselves & DO indeed need someone to pull the trigger... Guns don’t kill people, but allow someone who WOULD kill much easier, faster, more lethal means for killing. #GunReform

Mass shooting at the Jacksonville Landing. Madden Tournament. At least 10 people were shot. Several dead. What you're about to watch is livestream footage from that tournament, where gunshots start going off in the middle of the match.

Viewer discretion is advised.
I'm getting reports that this is the shooter's Twitter account. I can not confirm it at this time.

But the possible suspect in question appears to have made threatening remarks in relation to the Madden tournament.
One of the Madden tournament participants was @YoungDrini, and he had a close brush with death. Managing to get away from the gunman with only an injury to his thumb.

We've been listening to the right, the NRA, to Fox News angrily scream for decades.
And we let it go.
Or took the high road.
What's great about people like @Emma4Change, @davidhogg111 and the #Parkland students... is they are voicing THEIR anger.

They won't be shouted down by Wayne or Tucker or Rick or internet trolls and they're not going to pretend they're not pissed off.
That was OUR mistake.
WE assumed dead kids would make people step back and be civil.
The generation born after Columbine has had #Enough. /2
Somebody needs to be screaming back, and I'm glad it's students who want a safer future.
Let them lead.
Let them lead LOUDLY.
Let them lead by example.
That's what's freaking the gun lobby out right now.
The usual tactics aren't working.

Reporting from the March for Our Lives in Helena, Montana - Population 30k. This is Amelie, Amanda, and Tyler, who helped organize the event. “This is an incredible opportunity. We didn’t ask adults permission to do this. We just did it.”
This is Francie and Bud, who drove an hour from Cascade to be here. Bud was a history teacher for 37 years; first got shot at in 1973.

“I never dreamed that we’d be in our 70s and have to be marching.”
“It’s important that we’re here in Montana, a state full of people who love guns. We’re not taking about taking everyone’s guns away. We’re talking about sensible gun reform.”
