Safety is not a privilege — it is a right. It is time for our leaders to show courage, take responsibility, and build safer communities where every family can live without fear.
After months of relentless rapid response in Minneapolis, members of Defend the 612 had a moment to breathe and reflect on the lessons they’ve learned, the grief they carry, and the citywide fellowship they hope will endure. The crisis is not over, and I’m grateful they made time to speak with me.
When guns are in the home, assume kids can find them. Storing guns unloaded, locked, and separate from ammunition saves lives. Learn more from @besmartforkids.bsky.social about how to securely store firearms to keep kids safe.
hello minnesota and beyond! thank you for your kind messages. it is very weird to be the news when you cover the news. i love this beautiful state and journalism, and i am hopeful for better days. but we will be forever changed bc of the last two months.
Just to jump ahead of the 1,000 of think pieces that were half written before the sun rose today, that half-time show is why all you fascists bound to lose.
For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.
The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
Words can’t express my rage. At least 2 students on lockdown at Brown University already survived mass shootings.
Zoe Weissman survived Parkland in 2018.
Mia Tretta was shot in the stomach in Santa Clarita in 2019 and watched her best friend be murdered.
And now…again.
Moms Demand Action is marking a historic win tonight as Virginia Moms Demand Action volunteer @abigailspanberger.com has been elected Governor of Virginia! 🧵
“Some politicians — and the people who keep them in power — have decided guns matter more than kids. More than life. We let political posturing take priority over collective safety,” writes Sam Hasler.
“So they deflect. They stall. And children die.”
Back to school should never mean back to school shootings. This is the devastating reality of America’s gun violence crisis—and it will not end until lawmakers take meaningful action.
Text READY to 644-33 to join us in demanding they do just that.
Kindly share these resources with those in Minneapolis—and anyone, anywhere—who have been impacted by this tragedy: bit.ly/47i4OKy
Big decision in the MN AG suit against Glock yesterday, in which Judge Sande denied Glock’s motion to dismiss in full. The Clinic looks forward to digging into discovery as the case proceeds. www.fox9.com/news/glock-l...
The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.
Minnesota state Senator John Hoffman and state Representative Melissa Hortman were shot at their homes in what authorities are calling a targeted attack.
This senseless act of violence not only threatens the lives of those involved but undermines the very foundation of our democracy.
I'm so excited to be working with Jess on her excellent hijinks mystery. It's always a real joy to find one of those special projects that feels like the perfect fit, and I cannot wait for the world to get to meet our heroes(?) Grace and Jo 🕵️♀️
Welcome to JABberwocky!!
Sen. Strom Thurmond voted against the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, AND supported Jim Crow laws.
Thurmond’s record for longest floor speech (in protest of the Civil Rights Act, no less!) was just broken by a Black man, my good friend Cory Booker.
That’s America.
Thank you for doing this!! You rock!
NOW: Our volunteers are at the US Capitol as members of the House Judiciary Committee hold a hearing on guns.

The White House: (iii) assess the prevalence of and threat posed by the prescription of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, stimulants, and weight-loss drugs;
This was one of RFK Jr.’s first orders after being sworn in.
Just an astonishing denial of science and will cause so much pain to the 45 million Americans facing mental health challenges.
Several red state AGs including mine are suing to dismantle 504s in schools.
Please, call your reps and AGs to demand they let all children learn in public schools. The end goal is to delete all special education services. All accommodations.
“DEI is not a threat. It’s a gift.”

Still true…
America is facing a rising threat of far-right extremist violence. Even young boys—who have easy access to guns due to lax gun laws—are being radicalized in online spaces that fail to regulate the spread of far-right hate speech and dangerous gun content.
If you are born in the U.S., you are a U.S. citizen. Period.
The 14th Amendment clearly says so. The Supreme Court has affirmed it for more than 125 years.
That's why I'm suing Pres. Trump to block his unconstitutional executive order purporting to end birthright citizenship.
NEW: We just released our 2025 Gun Law Rankings and the data is clear—fewer people are killed with guns in states with stronger gun laws. In fact, states with the weakest gun safety laws have a gun violence rate 2.5 times higher than states with the strongest laws.
Trump figured out that taking away people’s abortion rights is DEEPLY unpopular, so he said a whole bunch of things to walk back his stances, including on Comstock.
Do I trust him? No.
Am I going to do everything I can to hold him + Republicans accountable? Absolutely.
In 2024, we:
✅ Passed hundreds of gun safety bills
✅ Helped elect 333 @momsdemand.bsky.social volunteers
✅ Filed our 20th lawsuit on behalf of survivors & cities to hold the gun industry accountable
✅ Invested millions in violence intervention programs
