A small business. A vigil. A neighborhood. A club. A party. A grocery store. In seven days there were seven mass shootings, as everyday gun violence has taken countless lives.

You can purchase a gun, go out, and shoot someone the same day in Georgia, but you can’t register and vote on the same day. As long as these types of laws reflect politicians’ values, you’ll see racist tragedies like we’ve seen this week. pic.twitter.com/vTIK4uXyyo

Watching people claim the alleged murderer of 6 Asian women was not motivated by racism, only by ‘sexual addiction,’ I’m reminded of the 2015 Chapel Hill execution-style shooting of 3 Muslim students, which we were told was not a hate crime but merely a ‘parking dispute’.

When democracy loses its meaning, no one will know when it dies. When racism loses its meaning, no one will know when it lives. https://t.co/hBf2LODhWH

Good morning to everyone who knows you don’t need a racist misogynist to say “I’m a racist mysogynist” to know they’re a racist mysogynist.

If Asian women are targeted as a “temptation” you feel the need to “eliminate,” you’re a racist mysogynist.
We shouldn’t have to say this

Blood is on the hands of those who love power more than our children
Tears fill the eyes of millions of Americans that have had loved ones stolen from them by gun violence
Haven’t we had enough?

America has a gun death rate 11 times that of other high-income countries. We are not powerless to stop this—we can save lives. On behalf of the millions of Americans who have experienced gun violence, we must renew our fight to end this epidemic. #EndGunViolence
