We beat the NRA when President Biden signed the most significant gun safety law in nearly 30 years.
It’s time to beat the NRA again.
President Biden is demanding Congress ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and pass universal background checks.

Moms For Liberty's rhetoric - anti-teachers union, misleading stats about proficiency, etc. - is exactly what "liberal" education "reformers" have pushed for decades. MFL got their talking points from Students First, 50CAN, DFER, TFA, etc. Tell me I'm wrong, I dare you...
Fearing the venom of the angriest parents, a SC school district removed 97 books. This December, it returned 92 of them to the shelves. This interview reveals just how empty the attacks actually were. And yet we are still recovering from deep wounds. cbsnews.com/news/beaufort-so…

At 2 AM on July 11, 1958, newly married couple Richard and Mildred Loving were abruptly awakened in their bedroom by a Virginia sheriff.
The sheriff questioned Richard, a white man, asking, "What are you doing in bed with this woman?"
Mildred, a woman of both Black and Indigenous American heritage, responded, "I'm his wife."
The sheriff retorted, "Not here, you're not."
During that era, Virginia still had laws against interracial marriage, and the Lovings were taken into custody for their unlawful cohabitation.
For nearly nine years, the couple was forced to live away from their hometown, but they eventually boldly decided to challenge the state's discriminatory laws in the Supreme Court.
In 1967, the groundbreaking Loving v. Virginia ruling effectively decriminalized interracial marriage throughout the entire United States.

Christie's first act as NJ guv was to cut teacher pensions after he explicitly said he wouldn't. He then cut taxes on the very wealthy while demanding teachers take a pay cut. How much do you think he really cares about helping children?

Reminder: The El Paso hate crime mass shooting that killed 23 and injured 22 at a Walmart was perpetrated by a white man who drove 10 hours to kill Mexicans and Mexican nationals because of a so-called “Hispanic invasion of Texas” he posted about in a racist screed.
