For Women's History Month, I wanted to share the stories of Cary and Sharika—two women who've been building the Obama Presidential Center on the South Side of Chicago. I met them last year while visiting the site. Read their stories here: https://t.co/iSIl7dGFp8

The silence of the @ndaajustice (“the Voice of America’s Prosecutors”) in light of the concerted political attacks on the power of prosecutors & the dangerous targeting of specific prosecutors by prominent political figures, is staggering.

Live Updates: Armed Woman Kills 6 in Nashville School
The six victims included three children and three adults, the authorities said, and the shooter was killed by police officers who responded to the scene.

“According to Dr. Lawrence Palinkas the types of guns Canadians have access to is much different than those in the United States. The types of guns that are available in Canada are limited, primarily to hunting rifles, and there are additional regulations for carrying guns and as of October 2022, there is a freeze on the handgun market in Canada. Dr. Palinkas believes that if the United States had strict gun laws, like Canada, there would be a decline in school shootings.”

‘Pissed off at cowards and profiteers’: Outrage grows over gun safety inaction
Nicole Hockley, co-founder and CEO of Sandy Hook Promise, talks with Rachel Maddow about how enraging it is to see more children killed in mass shooting gun violence while basic gun safety initiatives are not being implemented, and exhorts people who care to “do something about it.”

Mayor Cooper: This is our worst day
Rachel Maddow Delivers Jaw Dropping Context On The Mass Shooting Epidemic
Maddow said:
“Gun murders, mass gun murders are so common in this country that it’s entirely possible that you might survive a mass shooting only to endure another one. That is a thing that happens now in our country. It is statistically possible. Gun murders are, in fact, so common in this country that the shooter in one attack could shoot and kill 11 people, drive to a nearby parking lot to kill himself at the site of where another mass shooting had occurred just a few years prior.
“The family vacation visiting Tennessee today when she and her family end up in the middle of another mass shooting. The fact that reporters are covering shootings at their own kids’ schools, that people are surviving multiple mass shootings before they are legally allowed to drink, these aren’t crazy coincidences. This is a measure of the prevalence of this problem in our country. This kind of stuff is happening over and over and over again because mass shootings really do happen that frequently in the United States.” (Rachel Maddow)

Frost says GOP ‘cowards’ shield kids from books, but not bullets
After the Nashville school shooting, Rep. Maxwell Frost of Florida railed against his colleagues who continue to prioritize book bans over gun safety.
By Ja’han Jones
“But reality is grim on the education front. Today’s Republican Party is more focused on banning books from classrooms than passing gun safety measures to curb school shootings, all while its members portray themselves as protectors of America’s children.”
