I see Pelosi's reached the literal "thoughts and prayers" phase of impeachment. This will be as effective in protecting us from kleptocracy as it is in protecting us from gun violence.
I'm being super "prayerful" @SpeakerPelosi but there's still a transnational crime syndicate occupying the White House. There are still children being stolen from their parents and abused at the border.

Maybe another solution is in order? Like doing your actual job? 🤔

Trees down after a massive St Louis storm. My kids' swingset is in there somewhere #stlwx
Remains of the giant tree struck by lightening last night in my yard. It looks like a wooden monster; I don't want to get rid of it.

"We can't wait until another election. The threat is to the republic itself, to the body politic. The framers believed that there must be a power within the constitution to protect the republic -- that is impeachment." -- @JohnBonifaz on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/26691716
"Trump refused to divest the day he took office. He's treated the Oval Office as a profit-making enterprise at the public expense...He violated the emoluments clause on day one and went on to commit multiple impeachable offenses." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/26691716
"If we do not engage in the impeachment process, we set a dangerous precedent for all future presidents -- that they can defy the law and trample on our constitution, taking us on the road to autocracy." -- @JohnBonifaz on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/26691716

"As we have previously stated in multiple episodes, Gaslit Nation stands in favor of impeaching the motherfucker."
"This was previously not a controversial view, as Trump has committed a multitude of impeachable offenses, including but not limited to: violating the emoluments clause; obstruction of justice; ordering unconstitutional imprisonment of migrant families..."
"...abusing the pardon power; high crimes and misdemeanors; conspiracy against the US; and conspiracy to illegally influence the 2016 election. Trump has committed these crimes in plain sight and confessed to some of them, like obstruction, on television."

I've been hearing a lot of resignation in people's voices and tweets, in the face of the latest tragedy at #PowaySynagogueShooting. People are giving up hope that we can ever bend the curve on our #gunviolence epidemic.

--This thread is dedicated to destroying that despair.—
6 years ago, we watched those babies walk out of #SandyHook - & were torn apart, as a nation, by the memory of those who didn't make it.

Many of us had been told that we "couldn't" talk about guns.

But after Sandy Hook, many of us said "no more; we will not be silent."
A few bravely started talking and writing about why #gunviolence was a #publichealth issue. Those few, turned into a wave. The groundwork was slowly laid.

ARTIVISM THREAD:

“One Week In America” by @AMarch4OurLives
In one week in America we lose 735 people to gun violence... 105 of them children.

In one week in New Zealand they were able to pass life saving policy while most people affected in America wont even get thoughts and prayers.
The first part of the activation was the message to Congress.

Every window of the Capitol had a clear view of our message... including the senate majority office where all of GOP leadership had lunch looking at this:

Today, we remember the 20 children and 6 staff members that were shot and killed at #SandyHook 6 years ago. Gun violence has taken far too many of our loved ones - young and old - far too soon.
Our thoughts and prayers are not enough. We can help prevent these tragedies if Members of Congress have the courage to pass common sense gun reform laws that can help keep our communities safe.
Over the past year, as more cities, towns, places of worship, and schools faced the scourge of gun violence, we’ve seen parents, students, and community members speak out to say enough is enough.

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.

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.

1/ On Wednesday I happened to have the TV on and saw the #ParklandShooting on the news from the moment in started. The last three days there's been numerous times where I've seen posts, videos, and interviews and I'm reduced to tears. There were brave kids, brave adults,
2/and so many innocent people who should never have to carry around images of such carnage for the rest of their lives.
I'm not going to get into politics here. I'm not going to debate anyone with this post. So save your arguments. I'm reposting a post about THIS SAME DAMN THING
3/ from 5 years ago when it happened in New Town. If you don't know, when I was in my 20's and early 30's I was a police officer. I was also a firearms instructor. I used to own many guns. I trained with them often. I taught others how to use them tactically. I currently own no
