Who says @cspan isn’t fascinating? @RepRaskin obliterates and educates all at once

The researchers @KathrynEdin, @profshaefer, and @Tijone observed that people seem to thrive “when inequality is low; when landownership is widespread; when social connection is high; and when corruption and violence are rare.” theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

When Albert Einstein met Charlie Chaplin in 1931, Einstein said, "What I admire most about your art is its universality. You do not say a word, and yet the world understands you." "It's true." Replied Chaplin, "But your fame is even greater. The world admires you, when no one understands you."

When will people admit that more guns has never made us safer? When do we realize that we’re the only industrialized country where this happens?
How can anyone watch this horror and immediately jump to the defense of the fucking guns and not the kid WHO HAD NO FACE?

If we, as Americans, watched this in any other country, we’d call them barbaric, gruesome. We’d call them monsters.
Why the hell does anyone’s sick desire to own an AR-15 dwarf people’s right to live? To walk around with their kids? To not have their bodies obliterated?

Ban assault weapons. Now. No other action or combination of actions at the federal level will be anywhere near as effective as an assault weapons ban if your real goal is to reduce gun violence. BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS. NOW. #BanAssaultWeapons #BanAssaultWeaponsNow #assaultweaponsban

Want to know how far the Republican Party has drifted on its interpretation the 2nd Amendment? Here's what Republican Supreme Court Justice Warren Burger-appointed by President Nixon-had to say about the NRA:
"The Gun Lobby’s interpretation of the Second Amendment is one of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud, on the American People by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime. The real purpose of the Second Amendment was to ensure that state armies – the militia – would be maintained for the defense of the state. The very language of the Second Amendment refutes any argument that it was intended to guarantee every citizen an unfettered right to any kind of weapon he or she desires."
Make sure everyone sees this.

“When babies die at a church school, it is time for us to move beyond thoughts and prayers,” Senate Chaplain Barry C. Black says.
“Lord, deliver our senators from the paralysis of analysis that waits for the miraculous.”

Let’s be clear—lessons about art or civil rights never killed kids. But AR-15s have.
Republicans are only interested in banning the former.
Democrats have passed laws to address school shootings and are calling for an assault weapons ban. Republicans want to ban books.

Are AP classes currently offered. It’s crazy how AP African-American studies made the chopping block in FL. 🤔

What I'll always remember is how PM Jacinda Ardern's leadership lead to New Zealand banning assault rifles and military-style semi-automatic weapons in just SIX days after the Christchurch mosque attacks. No greater example of what going beyond thoughts and prayers looks like.

As a Buddhist monk, I’m dedicated to promoting inter-religious harmony. All religions accept the value of warm-heartedness. Some believe in God; others have faith in karma. When I hear about fighting among religious people, I feel very sad—as if medicine has become poison.

88% of Evangelicals voted for Walker over Rev. Warnock, because Evangelicals aren’t a religious organization, but a political block. And it’s big business. They love money and money answers their prayers. The cult keeps the masses in check. It’s the dark ages but with wifi.
