  1. Legendary hiphop group Public Enemy has a new single, "March Madness." But it's not about basketball — it's about gun violence. Here's co-founder Flavor Flav's story for Newsweek about why he is campaigning for stronger gun protection laws. "America is being built on fear. You have people who are scared. And these people are fighting for gun rights to protect themselves. They wouldn't have to protect themselves if all guns were banned," he writes. "Fear is a powerful, short-term motivator. We need to flip it so it can break through to be a positive and valuable resource. Let our fear of losing our children be more powerful than our fear of our next-door neighbor." At the second link, learn more about "March Madness" from the Quietus. Profits from the song will go to The Black Music Action Coalition Human Rights Fund and the anti-gun-violence organization Everytown.

  2. @RollingStone 53 senators voted to make it easier for veterans to either shoot themselves or other humans around them to death - or both!

    When corruption goes hand in hand with utterly depraved indifference to human life.
    It's despicable!

  3. @RepShontelBrown A country's maternal death rate tells a lot about the care or murderous carelessness of its members of parliament.

    Even more in combination with present or lacking efforts to protect moms' kids from being shot to death, no matter where they go in their potentially deadly home country.

  4. Apparently, in Texas you can walk into a public shooting range, "rent" a fully-automatic HK MP5 sub-machine gun with a fake ID, and just walk out with it. I know I'm a radical liberal, but I really feel that it should be at least a little more difficult to acquire a weapon that can shoot 900 rounds per minute. Just a thought.

  5. While access to mental healthcare in the U.S. is a problem, blaming it for mass shootings ignores the research and the guidance provided by public health experts. Studies show that what’s at the root of this flurry of mass shootings isn’t inadequate mental healthcare, but the fact that our country’s awash in firearms.

  6. “Search for answers?” There’s no need to search. It’s obvious. America has a massive gun problem. And #MAGA republicans won’t address it.

  7. @rosnovsky #Assaultweapons were banned before. We don’t need to repeal 2A, we just need a #scotus that will interpret it with more common sense than #scalia & #alito scum. The #nationalguard is a well-regulated militia. 2A ? ✅
