🧵 In 2018, my cousin & best friend Alex Schachter was killed by a gunman with an AR15 in Parkland. I am sick & tired of congressional inaction. On June 6th, I will sit-in at the US Capitol to demand a vote to #BanAssaultWeapons. I invite others to join me.

I tell clients to see where someone is going watch their feet - their lips may lie but the feet seldom do.

WaPo: #COVID is still a leading cause of death in the U.S.
The numbers: The coronavirus is tied to about 250 DEATHS DAILY, on average, mostly among the old and immunocompromised. But fewer Americans are treating it as a leading killer.

6 people, including little children, were killed in a mass-shooting in Tennessee. The reaction of the State Legislature to make kids safer? Expel D State Reps who stood in solidarity with protesters, demanding gun reform.
