JUST NOW. We passed legislation to require universal background checks. It’s common-sense legislation that is long overdue. #EndGunViolence

Over the last few weeks, Spartans have mourned together at the Rock, the Breslin, and at visitations and funerals. Today, I met with MSU Students at my home to hear their stories first-hand and discuss the action they want to see to reduce gun violence and make our state safer.

➡️ Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas & Virginia all prohibit guns & other weapons in polling places. Time for Michigan to do the same & protect the people who protect democracy. mlive.com/public-interes…

Offering up only thoughts and prayers is not enough. It’s time for action. Let’s pass commonsense gun reform in Michigan and enact universal background checks, safe storage laws, and extreme risk protection orders. We can get this done and make our state safer for Michiganders.

@MelissaMWear Hard to admit but true: had a thought after MSU shooting (I live in Michigan; two students from my home community were killed) that what are we raising our children for? So they can die untimely deaths in a country that shrugs? Dark thoughts, but it's a nihilism toward children.

@MelissaMWear As teacher + parent, the emotional toll of watching a country refuse to enact reasonable legislation to protect children from horrific gun violence reveals its ethos toward kids: they are expendable. And protecting them, helping them to thrive, is not a collective responsibility

Pay me to do millennial & Z focus groups on why they’re not having kids/more kids—not just for $/climate/not liking kids—but the social aspect of raising kids w/out villages in ⬆️ isolated cityscapes + w/ their socioeconomic location & links to folks’ mental state/PPD. A 🧵

A survivor of the Sandy Hook School mass shooting in 2012 is a student at Michigan State University: “I am 21-years-old and this is the second mass shooting I’ve lived through. We can no longer allow this to happen. We can no longer be complacent.”

Too many of us scan rooms for exits when we enter. Many have gone through the grim exercise of figuring out who would be our last call. Last night, kids at MSU made those calls. They worried for their lives, their friends, their fellow Spartans We can't keep living like this.

"Younger" viewer here with toddler-aged child plus baby whose toddler knows the Newshour by name (and theme song). Bring back PoliticsMonday with @tamarakeithNPR & @amyewalter. One of the best segments of the week!

Sharing this here because my mentions are full of questions about what happened to Politics Monday on the PBS NewsHour. I don’t have a lot of answers. I’ll just say, the 7+ years I got to be part of the Politics Monday team with @amyewalter and the @NewsHour family were a gift.

@tamarakeithNPR @amyewalter @NewsHour As one of those publicly objecting to the removal of #PoliticsMonday from the @NewsHour, I’m disappointed by this vague statement about “hitting a pause.” Bring back @tamarakeithNPR and @amyewalter please!

@NewsHour I am stunned with disbelief that you appear to have discontinued Politics Monday with @tamarakeithNPR and @amyewalter. They are extraordinarily talented women that we all look to for expert insight and analysis. Please, please reconsider and continue this segment!!

As a listener of @NewsHour for decades, I continue to be disappointed that they have discontinued Politics Monday with @amyewalter and @tamarakeithNPR . They are deeply missed!
