The DOJ was doing the bare minimum to hold police departments accountable. Even then, their actions were starting to show results. Communities were safer because of it. Police were starting to reduce the amount of force they used in these cities. Now they’ve thrown all of that… https://t.co/GjPYPJ8sAQ pic.twitter.com/pwSwDwWNFl

Police have killed over 6,000 people since George Floyd, setting new records for deadly police violence nationwide. Police violence surged the most in Trump states and states that refused to enact reforms. https://t.co/0VQVssQAdk

5 years after George Floyd, police are killing more people not less. The Mapping Police Violence organization tracked more than 1,000,000 cases of fatal and non-fatal force at https://t.co/a2XBv1ANOv, the largest database of its kind in the U.S. Here’s what we found.🧵

Gun violence has taken more lives than car crashes in recent years. And while we made cars safer with seatbelts, airbags, and laws — commonsense gun laws get stuck in political gridlock, despite overwhelming support. It’s time we treat gun violence like the public health crisis it is—and act to save lives.

House GOP gave gun CEOs a $1.5B tax break instead of protecting families. Silencers make it harder for law enforcement to find the shooter—that’s why they oppose them. For a party claiming to ‘back the blue,’ Republicans just made cops’ jobs harder. https://t.co/wnME0lPsWl

Yep, I’m going to “politicize” the FSU shooting because gun violence is political. The reason America has a 26 times higher gun homicide rate than any peer nation is because politicians care more about pandering to gun lobbyists than protecting their constituents.

125 Americans die from gun violence each day. Instead of acting to end this epidemic, the Trump admin fired most of the CDC staff who work tirelessly to research & prevent gun deaths. Less information means fewer solutions, more violence, and more deaths. We deserve better.

🚨 NEW: Trump just repealed the ATF’s zero tolerance policy, putting reckless gun dealers who knowingly sold to traffickers and criminals back in business.

Trump doesn’t care about our safety. He cares about helping his gun CEO friends profit off of violence in our communities.
