SENATORS SCHUMER AND GILLIBRAND ANNOUNCE “FULL COURT PRESS” TO FORCE GUN CONTROL VOTE

[Gun Control News]
Sen. Schumer: “It really is a shame that despite the recent shootings, the human tragedies and the overwhelming cries by the American people for Congress to act on gun violence, that I have to stand here and admit we all need to keep the pressure on. Today, I am announcing that we in the Senate will not be silent when Mitch McConnell and the administration need us to be. We will be vociferous, and next week in the Senate we will demand a vote on meaningful and commonsense reforms, like fixing our broken background check law.”

TRUMP’S UNITED STATES OF HATE INCITES RISING WHITE BACKLASH

[Guest Editorial\Dr. Keith Magee]
Dr. Magee: “The preaching of ‘whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also’, is no longer applicable in these times. There’s no longer the tolerance to mount a non-violence movement or foot soldiers in protest when the evidence is clear that this venom embodied in these White-skin individuals is filled with intentional rage, injustice, and violence, against everyone that isn’t a pure American of Anglo-Saxon descent.”

[Congressional News]
CBC Chair Karen Bass: “Since day one of this presidency, we’ve seen a drastic increase in white supremacy, racism, and hate crimes.
