TWEEPS: 11 years ago today, the unthinkable happened at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT:
26 students and staff, including 20 children, were murdered by an AR-15 wielding gunman.
The nation mourned.
Our President wept.
Republicans refused to do anything about it, except suggest fewer doors, arming teachers, and having our little ones practice shooting drills instead of their multiplication tables.
And with that inaction, our kids are STILL being gunned down in schools.
Can we get 1,000 fast RTs and replies using the hashtag #LetKidsLive to get it trending on Twitter?
Please and thank you. 🙏💪
🚨🚨BREAKING: The House Republicans, unable to pass a budget, unable to pass any meaningful legislation since they have been in power, have just voted 221-212 to move forward with an impeachment inquiry on President Biden.
It has already been determined by numerous Republican members of the House, and even members of the right wing media, that there is no evidence of "high crimes and misdemeanors" to support an impeachment of the President.
Utterly disgraceful.

I just realize that I should have opened a Mastodon instance called #wayland when Elon Musk changed Twitter’s name to X.
So I could tell everyone : "Time to migrate from X to Wayland!"
I’m sure at least a dozen of people would have got the joke.
