Three years ago today, 21 lives—19 children and 2 teachers—were stolen in a classroom in Uvalde, Texas. 17 others were wounded. Our kids deserve better. We hold the survivors and their families in our hearts and in our commitment to end this violence.

Lots of reasons to admire @brucespringsteen.net, and this new pro-democracy/anti-Trump EP is definitely up there. Great tunes and a powerful and patriotic message.

Harvard just flipped the switch. They’re not teaching you the Constitution for fun. They’re teaching it because your rights are being gutted in real time while you scroll memes and vote for your own executioners.

They lynched Allen Brooks—and sold postcards of it. 10,000 watched. Kids cheered. No one was charged. They called it justice. We call it genocide. Now they’re banning books so you never find out. 📚 ERASED tells the truth they fear. Read it before they erase that too: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?
