Austin designated #Juneteenth as an annual city holiday in 2020, to go into effect this year. Here are some closures that Austinites should be aware of tomorrow: https://t.co/WX9iVRZpOt https://t.co/AIGQtIoqBz — PolitiTweet.org

Power failures leave our most vulnerable communities at risk. During heat like this, it can kill. No one is hoping our grid will fail. — PolitiTweet.org

What a heartless statement given what Texans went through earlier this year, the fear, the hundreds of people that died, the empty promises made immediately after and the total lack of meaningful improvement. I'm just stunned. — PolitiTweet.org

I am excited for the first @AustinFC home game this weekend and I know many Austinites are, too. On this week's Walk With Me Austin podcast, I spoke with @LosVerdesATX member @JBentley_ATX about the excitement around soccer in Austin: https://t.co/YSjYcj4kFA #VERDE — PolitiTweet.org

An honor to be with such an incredible cadet class! They seem so aligned with our city and so eager to be the guardians we need. Congrats on moving to join the best force in the country! Sent from my iPhone https://t.co/PI55NThxv8 — PolitiTweet.org

One thing is clear, greater access to firearms does not equal more excellent public safety. It requires federal action, and we need it now. Watch the press conference at https://t.co/wifPo1xRIo Read my statement at https://t.co/FHGRqmQBDe — PolitiTweet.org

Two juveniles killed Doug Kantor with guns they should not have had. Our downtown police officers were staffed at a rate 20% higher than our usual weekend force. We cannot simply police our way out of this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Adler @MayorAdler

Even though we applaud the actions already taken by the Biden administration, there is urgency to take additional measures to help combat increasing gun violence. It’s essential to recognize that this crisis is happening in almost every major city. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Adler @MayorAdler

The fact that Doug Kantor was killed on Friday while visiting Austin has filled us with enormous grief. Locally, we have taken numerous actions to address gun safety, such as creating the Gun Violence Task Force, a Firearms Review Unit and APD's Violence Intervention Program. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Adler @MayorAdler

Nearly 23 million guns were purchased in 2020, a 65% increase compared with 2019. Here in Texas, state lawmakers passed legislation allowing anyone to carry a firearm in public. The reality is these shootings all center around easy access to guns, and we can’t ignore that. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Adler @MayorAdler

Today, I joined my colleagues in the @usmayors to discuss the alarming rise in gun violence across the country and urge @POTUS to take immediate action. This year, there have been 272 mass shootings in the U.S., with 21 of those occurring in Texas. #GunViolence — PolitiTweet.org

And from his official @GovAbbott account, boasting about Texas being good for business. Maybe when a corporation tells the governor that an unreliable power grid is bad for business, he'll finally listen. He doesn't seem to care about whether it's bad for people. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Adler @MayorAdler

It's Day Two of conservation warnings from @GregAbbott_TX delicate power infrastructure. It's still technically spring and Texas is experiencing late-summer temperatures, power plants offline, and the governor is tweeting about a border wall that he can't fund. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Adler @MayorAdler

I am sorry to report that Texans are being asked to conserve energy before we have even reached the start of summer. - Raise thermostats - Run large appliances later in the day - Turn up/off a/c when no one is home Efficiency is key to avoiding outages. #ERCOT #TexasGrid — PolitiTweet.org

Austin’s Friday night mass shooting is one of over 270 in our country this year, including a nation-leading 21 just in Texas - and it’s only June. There were four mass shootings in six hours Friday night in US cities and at least ten over just this past weekend. — PolitiTweet.org

“Just one month ago, the United States Conference of Mayors hosted a two-day Reimagining Public Safety summit to address this very issue. As cities work to address gun violence, Congress must act with the sensible steps supported by the majority of America.” -- @louisvillemayor — PolitiTweet.org
