The report from Uvalde is tragic. One thing is clear. We can prepare, we can harden, all we want, but until we get military-style weapons off of America’s streets, our people, our children will always be at risk.

In their memory and honor, we must continue to take steps to end gun violence across this country.

NYC jails killed another person today, the 11th person this year and 27th person since early 2021. Judges, prosecutors, and every elected official in the state and city need to act now. Release people and stop sending people to these jails to die.

Check out Ep. 630 – Incarcerated Black men were told by the government to register to vote. Then given additional jail time for breaking the law when they did so. https://t.co/3SzolrXYRI

Many thousands of incarcerated people still don’t have A/C, as the temp hits 107 degrees in parts of Texas today.

I wish this @MarshallProj piece on men dying inside wasn’t relevant every summer.

Our campaign did an analysis earlier this year on LAPD police stops. Black people made up 26% of police stops although being 9% of the city population.

We also created a map of where stops occurred and by race. Check it out here, site is mobile friendly.https://t.co/9FMUvrnYMO https://t.co/wZKVl98Da5 pic.twitter.com/PthyfpkFhh

Bottom line: Every member of Congress, regardless of party, should be advocating for the release of Brittney Griner.

We cannot allow Brittney Griner to stay in a Russian prison for 9 years as a political pawn. We should do whatever it takes to bring Brittney home. #MS03 #FreeBG

Seeing the Justice Department FINALLY charge the officers who murdered Breonna Taylor shortly after we find out a Russian court is sentencing Brittney Griner to 9 years in prison is making me feel some type of way.
