Glock pistol used in deadly shooting at Old Dominion University was illegally sold to shooter, a convicted felon under probation, by a man federal ATF agents knew was selling guns illegally. He previously received a "warning letter" & had to write an apology.

It's time to enforce our gun laws

Democrats move to censure GOP Reps. Randy Fine and Andy Ogles for anti-Muslim posts Democratic leadership is working with rank-and-file lawmakers on a censure against Fine, sources told Axios.

Note that Democratic leadership hasn't initiated this.

Finally finally this is happening...or they're at least trying.

My mom Terry was diagnosed with MS when I was a kid. My other mom, Jackie, a union nurse, got laid off during the Great Recession. If it hadn't been for her union contract, we would have been in real trouble.

I was lucky. A lot of Iowa families aren't.

South Burlington residents formed a human tunnel to rescue a three-year-old from an ICE raid without a warrant.

Still no censure of Tommy Tuberville, Randy Fine, or Andy Ogles, who are openly promoting hate against Muslims while the US is bombing Iran, killing the Ayatollah, and people like Lindsey Graham are calling it a "religious war" DURING RAMADAN.

How do you think this all ends, folks?

Watching a new series … it’s not important but, is there an actress in Hollywood that weighs more than 18 lbs.? Asking for a friend …

An actress described there was nothing she could fit into when given access to a massive wardrobe for a tv show. She's 5'10 & a Size TWO. Clothes were Sizes 000, 00, 0.... horrifying

Sometimes we started as long term subs etc. so our 30 years ends oddly. Staying extra months provides little to additional income, depending on contract. (I regret doing extra yrs)

β€˜They pushed so many lies about recycling’: the fight to stop big oil pumping billions more into plastics Plastic production has doubled over the last 20 years – and will likely double again. For author Beth Gardiner, metal water bottles and canvas tote bags are not the solution. So what is?

Trying to use less plastic?

Big Oil and the plastics industry are spending billions to make sure everyone else uses more.

β€œI think what stood out most is the deliberateness and intentionality over the years of pushing plastic into our lives,” said @bethgardiner.bsky.social. β€œIt was such a shock."

Scotland is on my shortlist for emigration from Red NYS because of stuff like this, if wanted. Retired teacher - taught about Dunblane to Seniors who were silent & pessimistic the US would change laws

Coming up on 30 years since the Dunblane school shooting massacre (13th March 1996) and watching another documentary about it. The families wanted to end legal handgun ownership and we passed those laws. We’ve not had a school shooting since. I ache for all Americans who cannot get this done there.

Don't forget percisely who enables this heinous corruption.

Progress begins when the GOP ends.

Don't forget the Pedophile Protectors:
GOP = Guardians of Pedophiles:
GOP = Gathering of Pedophiles:
GOP = REP = AFP = American Fascist Party
Don't forget Midterms are coming.

Now that the puppy killer’s been canned, I guess DHS will have to spend several more million dollars to redo its airport announcements and TV ads.

It now appears clear that Jeffrey Epstein did NOT off himself, based on staff talk overheard by inmates, independent bank reports that large deposits of money were made to the guard in charge at the time, and 2 suspiciously nonfunctioning cameras.
