St. Louis school shooter obtained a gun after his family worked with police to have one removed from their home
Months before a 19-year-old shooter opened fire inside a St. Louis high school killing two, his concerned family worked with police to have a gun removed from their home. The shooter, who also died in the attack, struggled with serious mental health issues that required hospitalization on more than one occasion. All the same — and thanks to our woefully inadequate gun safety laws — the young man was able to acquire an AR-15 style killing machine to carry out Monday's horrific attack.

Russia recruiting American-trained Afghan commandos to fight in Ukraine

Second rail union rejects deal, raising strike threat anew
The freight rail industry, which is responsible for moving some 40% of long-haul goods, is critical to the nation’s economy — including supplies needed for electricity and drinking water, not to mention commodities like food and gifts for the holiday shopping season. Seems like maybe we should treat our essential rail workers with the baseline dignity and respect they clearly deserve.

Today’s Action: Get out the vote for Democratic Senate candidate Charles Booker!
Charles Booker is running for US Senate to unseat incumbent Rand Paul, who has been failing Kentucky in spectacular fashion for more than a decade. Much like Mitch McConnell, Paul is totally unrepresentative of the Kentuckians he supposedly speaks for. Booker, who grew up in the poorest zip code in Kentucky, has been a tireless, passionate fighter for progressive values — not only in his community, but throughout the commonwealth and our country as a whole. No matter your state, we desperately need Booker in the US Senate — and Rand Paul as far away from it as possible.
The margin of error for keeping the House and Senate in Democrat hands is far too thin for comfort — but there are plenty of ways we can take action to ensure we keep power, including phone banking. You don’t have to be a seasoned professional, just ready to show up and do good work. We are rapidly approaching Election Day; progressives must kick into overdrive to secure the future working America deserves.
The fight for a truly progressive future does not end with Charles Booker. There are committed Democratic candidates all across the country who need your help getting out the vote next month. You can filter through virtual phone- and text-banking events through Mobilize. So many critical issues are on the line this election, including reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, gun-safety initiatives, and justice reform — everything we’ve fought so hard for! It’s never been more important to get out the vote and work for real change in America. Join the fight and do your part today!
PS — Please don't forget to sign the petition demanding the Senate reject Lindsey Graham’s national abortion ban, and be sure to follow OD Action on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
