If you're under the impression that guns could make your home safer, that's because the gun industry sold you a story to sell you a gun.

We understand more than anyone the desire to feel safe – which is why you should know that living in a gun-free home is the way forward☀️

U.S. Law Shield and the U.S. Concealed Carry Association sell insurance that covers legal fees if you injure or murder someone in "self defense."

The people who pay for it are being encouraged to shoot more freely at their neighbors. Learn more: https://guns-down.org/selfdefenseinsurance

🧵 1/2 Each time comments like these go unchecked and unquestioned by anyone from the GOP, we slide closer to the time that we won’t be able to save our democracy. No one, let alone a convicted felon be allowed to say that a US Senator “should be charged with treason

Roger Stone calls for Mark Kelly's execution for questioning Trump.

Last year he was caught on tape, trying to plot the assassination of Reps Swalwell and Nadler.

Roger Stone Calls for Democratic Senator To Be Tried for ‘Treason’ and ‘Executed’ if Convicted

Stone was quickly called out after calling for a sitting US senator’s execution over a crypto-related post critical of President Donald Trump.

The worst anti-vaccine bill of this session, SB 1887, is up for a hearing in the Senate Health and Human Services committee. It would ban all mRNA vaccines in Texas, with a carve out only for cancer and genetic treatments. We’ll update y’all after.

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

If guilty people don't have Due Process rights, then innocent people don't have Due Process rights, because we don't know if they're innocent or guilty until we have a trial or hearing.
