There’s been a mass shooting at a kids party in Stockton, California.

4 are dead and at least ten are wounded.

School shootings. Birthday party shootings. Christmas tree lighting shootings.

It doesn’t have to be this way. This isn’t normal.

The problem is the guns.

In June, two Democratic legislators were shot along with their spouses. Even their dog was shot.

One had to dive on top of their child to protect them.

Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were killed.

Trump didn’t attend the funeral.

There was no widespread condemnation of political violence.

Shortly after a gunman targeted the CDC and killed a police officer.

There was a school shooting in Denver today that sent 3 kids to the hospital.

The culture must change and gun control is long overdue.

No more “thoughts and prayers”. It’s time for action and change.

Legendary hiphop group Public Enemy has a new single out, "March Madness." But it's not about basketball — it's about gun violence. Here's co-founder Flavor Flav's story for Newsweek about why he is campaigning for stronger gun protection laws. "America is being built on fear. You have people who are scared. And these people are fighting for gun rights to protect themselves. They wouldn't have to protect themselves if all guns were banned," he writes. "Fear is a powerful, short-term motivator. We need to flip it so it can break through to be a positive and valuable resource. Let our fear of losing our children be more powerful than our fear of our next-door neighbor." At the second link, learn more about "March Madness" from the Quietus. Profits from the song will go to The Black Music Action Coalition Human Rights Fund and the anti-gun-violence organization Everytown.

"Our whole reason for lobbying for looser gun laws and amassing huge personal arsenals of weapons these past years was so that we could ensure the security of a free state and protect the people from an oppressive government. And then it actually happened, and the whole rising up against a tyrannical government thing just totally slipped our minds, which is a little embarrassing."

Kamala Harris is proving that the best defense is a strong offense. When confronted with Republican attacks, she didn’t just push back—she redefined the issues, turning perceived weaknesses into powerful strengths and flipping Trump’s vulnerabilities to her advantage. Here’s how Harris has shaken up the race. 👇https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/kamala-harris-immigration-crime-freedom

@georgetakei I hope they are able to be as successful recasting as .

https://mastodon.social/@SailorDisco/112923700845334055 explains it well:

Tim Walz changed the rhetoric on the left for the better by calling for "common sense gun VIOLENCE reform" putting republicans in a position of being pro gun violence if they try to attack him on this.

Gun violence is a public health issue? How long did it take to figure this out, genius?
