Suicidal thoughts aren’t always I want to die. They’re also.. I feel trapped. I need a way out. I am a burden. What’s the point in life? I need to escape my thoughts. Nothing will ever get better. I see no future. I can’t bare this pain anymore. Am worthless. #SuicideAwareness

When President Clinton banned assault rifles in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. After Republicans let the ban expire in 2004, they increased by 243% — please don’t tell me bans don’t work, because I don’t want to hear it. – at Los Angeles, CA

Good job Tennessee! The fact that this is even a debate, is beyond ignorance, Red Flag laws should be the BARE MINIMUM to obtain a firearm – at Spokane, WA
Thanks to the work of activists, for the first time in Tennessee’s 227-year-history, gun laws are being tightened. Along with the executive order strengthen background checks, the GOP governor is asking the legislature to make us the first state in the South with red flag laws.

You gotta watch this speech from Rep Justin Jones as Tennessee Republicans attempt to expel him and two others for simply standing with students demanding gun safety. Republicans know they are on the losing side of history. This is proof #TenneseeThree

Promises made. Promises kept. Filed over 700 motions today. My message is clear: #Dontlegislatehate
New bills will come to the floor in the coming weeks, including ones I support. I will filibuster them all. Every. Single. One. Why? Because I am not giving extremists any chance to legislate their hate against the trans community. #DontLegislateHate

So, in addition to not driving through floodwaters, you will probably want to avoid walking barefoot, as well. #wawx

So can we charge you for the funeral costs for the funerals of the trans kids who will commit suicide as a result of being denied life saving medical care? – at Spokane, WA
I just signed SB3 to prevent gender transition services for minors at Oklahoma Children’s Hospital at OU Health. This is just the first step. I am calling on the Legislature to ban all irreversible gender transition surgeries and hormone therapies on minors statewide.

transitioning is low key ridiculous, like yeah this is gonna make everything in your life harder, more expensive and just straight up worse in a million ways but you're gonna love it so much you'd rather die than go back

If German kids are strong enough to learn about the Holocaust, then children in the U.S. and Canada should be strong enough to learn about abusive Indian residential schools. Agree? #OrangeShirtDay – at Los Angeles, CA
