“To say that it is possible for a narrow faction of ideologues to weaponize the counter-majoritarian features of our system against the ‘republican principle’ is, basically, to describe the current state of our democracy.” https://t.co/2HKm0EgZBN — PolitiTweet.org

“There’s a galaxy of difference between a musket and an AR-15. It’s time to remove these instruments of mass murder from the marketplace once and for all.” https://t.co/PjQrc8ahtA — PolitiTweet.org

“If the Dobbs majority holds, concrete understandings of personal autonomy that have prevailed since before nearly all Americans of childbearing age were born will be shattered overnight.” Alito’s dismissal of this reliance interest is utterly unprincipled https://t.co/zSsvCkB04n — PolitiTweet.org

I admire @AshaRangappa_’s courage in raising this question. I wondered the same thing but hesitated to ask. We know excessive police actions can be driven by unconscious racism. So can inexcusable police inaction. Maybe DOJ’s Civil Rights Division should open an investigation? — PolitiTweet.org

“When specially equipped federal immigration agents arrived at the elementary school in Uvalde, the local police would not allow them to go after the gunman who had opened fire on students inside the school.” Just insane! Every new detail blows my mind. https://t.co/IEzIIU0Sfh — PolitiTweet.org

Those angels’ names don’t belong in that foulest of mouths. It’s just as well that he couldn’t manage to pronounce them properly. He’s unworthy of their blessed memories. — PolitiTweet.org

“The shooter used an AR-15-style rifle. He fired bullet after bullet into children’s faces and chests, their soft bellies, their heads. A Level 1 trauma center can do nothing for children whose bodies are so destroyed by bullets.” https://t.co/Qw1spBuBrx — PolitiTweet.org

“Without denying the brutal facts of Trumpism’s current dominance in the GOP — there are reasons to keep faith that at least some Republicans will continue the fight for a return to common sense and conventional belief in the nation’s founding principles.” https://t.co/NvNxxOji0w — PolitiTweet.org

“In Uvalde, Buffalo and Parkland, the killings were carried out with guns legally purchased by [underage] shooters. What rational society allows that?” The 2nd Am doesn’t condemn us to this insanity. It ensures a “well regulated militia.” https://t.co/RoahB70e0O — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Red flag laws, waiting periods, universal registration, assault weapon bans, absolutely MUST be enacted. You can’t pretend to be pro-life and disagree. And don’t blame the 2d Amendment: not even this right-wing SCOTUS is to blame. It’s the lawmakers who take gun money. Period. — PolitiTweet.org

We can’t let the abject police failure to protect the kids in the #UvaldeschoolMassacre distract us from the urgent need to keep weapons of war out of the hands of civilians, let alone those who can’t be trusted. Politicians who do the bidding of the gun lobby are barely human. — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s #Uvalde press conference described the appalling decision NOT to breach the door & engage the shooter FOR NEARLY AN HOUR while many of the murdered students were still alive and kids were PLEADING FOR HELP on 911 calls. The worst police failure in history. — PolitiTweet.org

It wouldn’t surprise me for Georgia to become the first jurisdiction to indict a former president on felony charges. I doubt it’ll be the last. And I think the charges will stick. — PolitiTweet.org

“In part because of Trump’s influence reshaping the GOP, his distinctiveness within it is fading.” But that mustn’t lull us into complacency. A much smarter, smoother MAGA type could be a greater danger to democracy than the sick clown ever was. https://t.co/7bcvLAFgQ7 — PolitiTweet.org

“Unlike the U.S., Australia has a political system that is responsive to popular opinion.” Reducing insane gun violence in the U.S. and political reform are two sides of the same coin. https://t.co/lUgaEGewO6 — PolitiTweet.org

“These mass shootings aren’t acts of God. The status quo is bad. Our lack of action on guns is killing people, and someone is to blame. But who? You. It’s your fault.” https://t.co/xgSciQbnk2 — PolitiTweet.org

“These security measures are not effective,” Dr. Khubchandani said this week. “And they are not catching up to the ease of access with which people are acquiring guns in the pandemic.” https://t.co/4heSBUvsKr — PolitiTweet.org

"The Second Amendment did not come down from Sinai," Archbishop Cupich said via Twitter. "The right to bear arms will never be more important than human life. Our children have rights too. And our elected officials have a moral duty to protect them." https://t.co/pxMPKecRz1 — PolitiTweet.org

This seems maddeningly evasive, but rushing to conclusions wouldn't make much sense; hopefully we'll learn much more in the coming day or two . . . — PolitiTweet.org

No wonder police fear facing punks who’re killing kids with AR-15s: they have kids too & don’t want to leave them fatherless or motherless. So why don’t police unions support laws banning civilian ownership of firearms as deadly as AR-15s? Makes no sense for them to be with NRA. — PolitiTweet.org

Jimmy Kimmel makes an urgent plea for courage.This isn't a time for moments of silence. It's a time to be heard, to speak up, to act. To admit that action banning combat weapons in civilian hands, demanding universal background checks, doing still more, is long overdue. — PolitiTweet.org
