Hearing even Democrats repeat the bullshit talking points about VP Kamala Harris - they don’t think she’s qualified or they say she can’t win in the future. But when you press them for proof or examples to back up their fears, it’s clear they’re just regurgitating others’ TPs.
Conversation I had with unnamed family member:

Me: Why don’t you support VP Harris?

Them: She hasn’t accomplished anything.

Me: What other VP accomplishments would you cite as consequential?

Them: Hmmmm.
Them: I just don’t think she’s qualified.

Me: But you thought Sen Kaine was qualified?

Them: Yes.

Me: What were his accomplishments?

Them: Hmmmm

ELEVEN YEARS AGO today, at my Indiana kitchen counter, I created a Facebook page that became @MomsDemand. I never imagined it would become the largest women-led organization in the US and, with @StudentsDemand and 10M supporters, twice the size of the NRA momsdemandaction.org
In 2012, gun safety was the third rail of American politics. A quarter of all Dems in Congress had NRA A-ratings. The NRA wielded outsized influence and could generate angry calls and emails to lawmakers. And there was no national gun safety grassroots movement to stop them.
Since then, @MomsDemand volunteers stopped the NRA's priority legislation in statehouses 90% of the time every year for the past decade; passed over 500 gun safety laws across the country; changed corporate policies; and educated millions of Americans about secure gun storage.

Defamation is not free speech, which is why judges in different state have come to the same conclusion: Alex Jones violated his victims’ First Amendment rights and he owes them $1.5 billion. Image
On the day of the Sandy Hook shooting - which happened 11 years ago this week - Alex Jones went on the air while parents were learning that their children had died, claiming the mass shooting was a “false flag” intended to take away viewers’ Second Amendment rights.
Over the years, Alex Jones repeated this lie again and again to enrich himself - his conspiracy lies helped double his viewership in three years and his merchandise sales rose to $76M in 2019.

Jones eventually admitted the mass shooting had, in fact, occurred.

NEW: The 20-year-old man who attempted to carry out a mass shooting inside an Ohio Walmart was a white supremacist and gun extremist who’d been admitted to the hospital for mental-health evaluations. He bought his long gun two days prior at a gun store: newsweek.com/benjamin-charl…
Image
Ohio does not:

Require background checks

Have a red flag law

Prevent domestic abusers from accessing guns

Ban assault weapons

Limit magazine capacity

Have waiting periods

Require permitting

Regulate open carry
What does this look like in practice? A 20-year-old whose brain isn’t even developed is given easy access to weapons of war. There are many red flags that he’s a danger to society - in his home and on social media - but no one can or is willing to alert law enforcement…

The Lewiston gunman used a Ruger SFAR, an AR-10 that fires a .308 caliber cartridge, even more powerful than the AR-15. Photos suggest his rifle was equipped with tactical gear, including an optic or red-dot sight, a flashlight, and 20-round magazines. cnn.com/us/live-news/l…
The magazines were taped together for faster reloading, a tactic referred to as “jungle style.” By taping two magazines together, the shooter was able to bolster his capacity to 40 rounds.
Ruger introduced the SFAR AR-10 in 2022 *after* Ruger AR-15s were used in Sutherland Springs and Boulder mass shootings. Ruger’s AR-10 launch also came after its CEO testified before the House Oversight Committee regarding the use of AR-15s in Buffalo, Uvalde and Highland Park.
