Heartbroken for Julia, Wesley, and the two officers taken too soon. Heroes, parents, neighbors—gone because a man with a documented mental illness still got a gun. We had an assault weapons ban. It worked. We can save lives. Doing nothing is a choice.
They weren't taken. They were fucking murdered by an asshole with a gun.
Thank you Jessica Tarlov for having the backbone to speak truth for American people. You’re a bigger hero than half of the U.S. Government & majority of the Supreme Court 💙
2017 GOP house overturned Obama rule to ban guns from mentally ill
It’s hard to believe this man walking the streets in midtown Manhattan with a long gun in day light. Did anybody call the police?
Please punch Watters in the throat for me. I don’t know how you can stand to be around him.
They care about life until it’s taken by a gun.
You forgot the liquor stores and the pharmacies so we can get alcohol and opiates but not cannabis.
Don’t forget highly addictive cigs.
The title at the top-pro-life. Then guns everywhere. And they don’t see the irony.
That's a CEO of blackstone
Then Chris Cuomo saintly face w pops up ' bros and sisters ya been played ' played by who ? Legacy Media , darn he is also part of the cabal called legacy media lol
It's ya fault , no it's his fault , no it's their fault , Fox News vs MSNBC lol Manufactured Dissent™, brought to you by the same people who own both the wrecking ball and the insurance company.
What we’ve got isn’t a democracy. It’s a profit-extraction matrix cleverly dressed up in patriotic drag. Every institution—education, healthcare, justice, media, even faith and charity—gets monetized, sanitized, and weaponized. “Greasing both sides of the spectrum” is the feature, not the flaw
it's not just about bad actors or corrupt politicians, it's about the fundamental architecture that determines how everything functions for profit to greased both sides of the partisan spectrum
Solutions are monetized or neutralized. If it can’t be profited from, it’s “not viable.” If it can be profited from, it gets co-opted and watered down.
Gun violence ! And still it brings me back to the long windin road We’re running democracy on a corporate operating system. You can patch it, paint it, even parade it on stage, but until you rewrite the source code—you’ll just keep rebooting the same loop.
I legitly wanna get rid of legalized corrupted bribery citizens united until a small curious voice in my head whispers to me ' GET RID FOR WHO ? ' LOL
That these aren't really separate problems but symptoms of the same underlying issue - how money flows through and potentially corrupts the political process?
Citizens United blew the floodgates open. Now it ain’t about solutions—it's about who can weaponize outrage better to secure PAC money and airtime. The public’s fear is their currency. Real reform? Not when it threatens the bottom line
Those performative outrage bullshitters politicians for or against gun violence rides together on the same gravy train lol -Citizens United-
Saw the dots connected ? One common multipartisan denominator ...legalized corruption -CITIZENS UNITED-
Oh never mind Epstein File , Gun violence , Homelessness, Gut Social Securities , Lobbyin , Bribery = Citizens United = Beneficial to no limits legit campaign finance donations for all parties ( includin Green , Liberitarians , American Nazi party
Where i begin to tell the story how insane this can , this crazy story that's older than the sea , where do i start?
The chalk outlines wash away, the flowers wilt, the news cycle moves on, and we're left with this hollow feeling that we've performed grief without actually grieving. That we've honored the dead without actually seeing them. The sacred space becomes an empty stage,
We lose something essential when names become numbers, when vigils become routine, when the candlelight that once felt like defiance against darkness starts to feel like empty ritual.
There was a time not long ago when every face lost to gun violence was sacred. We see their photos,read their names, light candles like we were trying to push back the darkness with memory. Each loss felt like a national wound. But now? Its just another repetitve desentizin event , conscience dies
no issue gets stalled harder than the ones that threaten billion-dollar stock portfolios like firearms sales , losin lives don’t move legislation—lobbyists do
if saving lives threatened revenue, they’d rather keep people marching toward the cliff—just slowly enough to bill them on the way down. I see ya again next week , same shit different locale
Doin nothing always been profitable in a set up rule by lobbyists and performatve outrage political hacks , the status quo om gun reform is a feature not a bug , doin something to save lives kills their income stream lol Don't even get me started on big pharma and healthcare insurance yet lol
Way to push the conservative narrative.
I'm Sus on how Ol Agent Orange is gonna use this to NOT regulate guns, but demonize Mental illness for his nepharious new Dictator Mandate.
🎯
Don't push me cuz I'm close to the edge i'm trying not to lose my head.. It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from going under🤔😑
But now they are needed because we have an oppressive authoritarian govt that is having even us citizen arested and deported. So the pedophiliac admin has to be ready for full responses to defend.
You know which country adopted a ban on assault weapons soon after their shooting tragedy....New Zealand. They got it done because they experienced something that just wasn't right and they took back the guns.
And Australia, and the UK.
you’re appreciated jessica.
WE HAD AN ASSAULT WEAPON BAN. All police officers believe even they didn't have assault rifles! WE DO NOT NEED ASSAULT RIFLES OUTSIDE OF WAR. My husband was killed when I was pregnant too - this widow will never recover and her child will grow up FATHERLESS.
I started to reply on X but the responses are getting ridiculous. Vile and hatred with no ability to debate. By the way sad on the Five today. You were given about 35 seconds to speak then constantly interrupted and bullied. SMH
Two comments: A. They are going to paint people as mentally ill in order to take their guns...and get rid of them. B. You are going to have to fight the Nazis and Klan.
Having guns against this or any other admin will not serve you. Just how far do you think you’d get against a gov with highly trained mil and tanks? This argument is laughable.
I'm not sure this works out. They would have to pass a law that mentally unstable people can't have guns, and that would go against everything conservatives stand for. They want every person to have a gun no matter what
Trump removed the mental illness restrictions. He needs to be held accountable!
You annoyed Orange Caligula today, keep doing the Lord's work Jessica. Very few liberal leaning folks can handle being in the hive mind. We aren't natural predators, what with the bleeding hearts. But you head on into the Colaseum everyday prepared for the fight. 💕
Not putting the mentally ill people in mental health facilities is a choice. Giving them Psychotropic drugs when you know they may cause this type of action is a choice.
Thanks Jessica.
Keep speaking the truth @jessicatarlov.bsky.social you ARE appreciated!
Cops and a hedge fund executive 💀 Reason to celebrate
Blackrock financial CEO. They kill as many people as United Health.
Stay strong 💪 Love your fight.
Do you ever feel ashamed that you collect a check from Fox? You really should.
Weird how it’s not “too soon” to talk about this one for the Fox News shows…
Shoot more at Jessie watters
I’m only sad about the innocents
Hold the line, Jessica!!
#ItsTheGuns #GunReformNow
Anyone who supports the NRA is basically saying that the indiscriminate shooting and killing of children and the general public is an acceptable price to pay for their right to bear arms.
Today it does. I was never a member but when I was young many decades ago it did not mean that. It has degraded into to the filth it is today.
The right to bear arms was written when the US was lawless in many parts of the country, therefore it has been obsolete for more than eighty years. Many countries that have strict gun laws don’t have the gun problems we constantly hear about in the USA and their society hasn’t imploded as a result.
Yes
And how did he walk into the building and NO ONE stopped him? Astounds me….😢
She's going to get a Memo from Rupert Murdoch
You fight the good fight, not easy. Thank you Jessica.
Ban assault weapons. We don't need them. Only bad guys need them.
Thank you for your clarity!
Nobody should be surprised. The slaughter of kindergarten children did nothing to melt the stone cold soulless hearts of the gun-obsessed and the politicians who continue to enable them, regardless of mental health status. What a country.
It didn't work. It had zero impact. Why it expired. If it had shown an effect, it would not havevexpired and lapsed, but have stayed as law. Hate them, but get your facts right. This isn't Fox News.
Guns don't kill people. People kill people. Thoughts and prayers. Don't forget you need guns to rise up against a tyrannical government....... how is that going.
In the mouth of the lion she speaks with no fear
Doing nothing is the choice in this shithole. If Sandy Hook and the thousands of massacres since haven't made any change, nothing will. I am grateful that there is at least one voice of reason on Fox News. My respect goes out to Jessica Tarlov for her brave reporting directly from the lion's den.
Any inmigrante involved? Of course not
Just the one murdered while trying to protect people.
ACAB even the dead ones
Doing nothing seems to be the choice of Congress.
This woman is fearless.
Thank you for being the voice of reason on that station. You deserve better, but I'm glad you're there.
Blackstone REIT is headquartered on the 33rd floor - not the NFL. Blackstone REIT is buying up single family homes and driving up prices - not the NFL. www.resiclubanalytics.com/p/blackstone...
It was a assassination of a black rock CEO they didn't want another Luigi situation. Deadmen tell no tales.
A real dumb choice...
Only the wealthy, white victims have names. Hey Jessica, working class people have identities too! Aland Etienne and Didarul Islam are just as deserving of your notice.
With a gun he acquired in CALIFORNIA and not in New York. those blaming New York gun laws are out of order and should be ignored.
FYI: During his first term, Trump rescinded the law/executive order (don't know which it was) regarding a ban on mentally ill people having guns.
Obviously I wish the ban was still in place, but, now, it seems insurmountable to be able to control any of this. Too many powerful, greedy a-holes in charge. I feel in a perpetual state of grief now for everyone affected. I wish I felt less helpless to change this.
Yup
Respectfully, so is working for Fox News — one of the primary pushers of NRA propaganda.
“Working for Fox” do you not understand that her constant pushback to what they say is the only time Fox viewers hear anything that’s remotely true?
That’s a fair point. It also gives them cover to say they provide a “balanced” perspective when it’s really 99% propaganda, which I think may do more harm than good. But I respect the validity of your POV.
Thanks for your reply. For sure it’s largely due to Fox and its years of propaganda that we’re in this mess right now. I just think Tarlov is a national treasure. Can you imagine sitting there everyday listening to those smug liars and trying to inject some factual information?
And she does it really well. Super impressive.
Yup.
And dealing with her rude make co workers who regularly talk over her so others can’t hear the truths she speaks…
Welcome and you are correct there should be an assault weapons ban again but they are not showing to allow that. At least not now!!!
No one in the upper echelon of Blackstone deserves sympathy. They fund policies and politicians that allowed acts like this.
Fox is so lucky to have you, Jessica.
The shooter was an American the cop that was killed protecting others was an immigrant it should be bigger news than it has
That's because the right are owned by the fucking NRA and they don't wanna change any of the gun laws because they're a bunch of fucking Cunts. They say they give a shit about human life, but they actually don't all they care about is fucking money and sales it's pathetic.

I remember it
100% true.

Republicans do nothing because it pays better than doing something that would hurt their gun lobby benefactors.
Why would a ban have a time limit to ‘sunset’ but tax breaks for billionaires be ‘permanent’? Same answer: lobbyists, greed, CORRUPTION
Agree… the Rs have come up with so many “explanations” for gun deaths/injuries (video games, too many doors, not enough church going, blah blah). They are ok with it because they believe it wins them votes and they don’t think they will be affected (someone else is doing the sacrificing)
Who undid the ban on mental health people getting guns? Who cuts funding
3 guesses
I can answer that with one guess 😂
Look up Nevada state laws which is where he was from and where he got that weapon…Most GOP led stats have very lax gun control regulations which means anyone can access a gun by just going to another state when the one you live on has stronger gun control laws like NY does..😔
Republican politicians are NOT helping with this critical issue.
Jessica Tarlov is the sole voice of reason and compassion on Faux Snooze.
Remarkable that you spoke uninterrupted for a change. Important message.
The problem is your stupid 2nd amendment.
This is the one time it might have been useful and they've... done fuck all.
The 2nd amendment is not the problem. People not understanding that the 2nd amendment is only about the US having their own military is the problem. No where does the 2nd amendment give the individual the right to have a gun.
I believe that a clarification is in order? 2A is for the States militias to protect themselves from tyranny from a central government. Militias had been around for 153 years prior to The Constitution and 155 years before the Bill Of Rights that contains 2A.
Militias are organised, regulated groups, not just any random yahoo with an assault rifle.
I could not agree more. The Heller decision in 2008 was garbage, imho.
Stop pushing for assault weapons bans when you're being taken over by Fascists.
Another sad story 😔.
Hedge fund executive and cop gone? Sounds like a great ending
Thots and Prays. It's worked so well so far.
IT IS THE GUNS
Wesley? 🤢🤮 “LePatner, 43 years old, was the $1.2 trillion firm's global head of Core+ real estate and CEO of Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, the company's juggernaut real estate fund for individual investors.” www.businessinsider.com/blackstone-r...

How are you still employed by Faux News? How do they let you say real things? How can you bear being in the same room as such sht humans? I don't understand why you aren't fired or quitting in frustration. There's something I'm missing.
Love you Jessica! I too felt that crack in your voice. Thank you for everything you do to keep us informed in a world that’s constantly assaulting our sanity. You give me clarity and hope.
You 100% deserve your own show and a LOT more money!
Canada has just as many folks, proportionately, who shouldn't have guns. We just keep the guns out of the equation. Y'all keep thinking and praying and dying.
Americans are far too violent to be trusted with guns. How many thousands/millions of gun violent deaths will it take until we understand this?
But muh seccon amendent rights.....
I'm not acab and fuck ceos.
Yes and when Republicans are asked about gun legislation after a tragic shooting they respond with their same answer of don't want to make this political. It's their go-to answer and then do nothing about it afterwards. It really is sickening.
The country needs more Luigi Mangiones.
So you support spraying office building with machine gun fire, and innocent bystanders be damned, if it kills someone you don't like? You might be garbage 🤷
bluesky does definitely not need more left-wing extremist agitators like you, however. You're doing the GOP's work for them. Trump thanks you.
Agreed, glad that 🐷 and hedge fund POS were unalived
Fox News allowing ANY discussion about gun legislation, let alone allowing her speak about the statistics around the assault rifle ban, is a change in message. Is it because the offices of ultra wealthy people were at risk, or is it the first step down the usual path of fascism taking guns away...
It's because it was the CEO of Blackstone
🖕🏼them. No one has any rights in this country anymore. PEOPLE ARE ANGRY! As long as there are AUTOMATIC RIFLES and GUNS there will be SLAUGHTER. You fuckers at FAUX NEWS MAGA VOTED FOR MURDER EVERY TIME 🖕🏼
I don't see anyone "doing nothing." I do see attempts to address this, but MAGAts spend a lot of time torpedoing these reasonable actions. That ain't doing nothing, that's working hard to protect arms manufacturers' profit margin.
Only one hero. Once was a black rock CEO and one was a executive that heads the buying of houses to make money off the poor by increasing market value of homes and rental properties. One is a security for black rock and one is someone who works for NFL.
What is the #1 cause of childhood/adolescent death in the US? GUNS. Shameful statistic. The GOP does not care! www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....
Did you really share a meme with a terrible grammatical error? Because that kinda ruins the whole effect.
Taking a paycheck from a fascist propaganda 'news' outlet is also a choice.
I'd rather Fox's money go from them to someone like Jessica who counters those sociopathic buffoons sitting around that table instead of yet another clone of one of those jerks.
Yes, because Fox viewers respect her point of view and don't call her all sorts of deplorable names. She could be a far more impactful voice on another outlet.
It's another CEO killing complete with cover up
If Trump can do nearly everything he wants why can't the next Democratic president do the same with assault weapons?
Well, the quiet part out loud is they are thinking they won't be another Democratic president
Oh, god!
Literally likeeeee I’m not saying that that future is set in stone. But you don’t chuck out the last of the remaining norms, abandon all precedent, and flout the law like this unless you expect no consequences. The question is, will we & Dem officials have the determination to ensure there will be.
I can only speak for myself and the truth" inwardly and quite pessimistic but outwardly I will continue to conduct myself, as if there is a future that includes everyone
I hope so. So many things gone wrong. We are in a country of confusion hate and seems like one party rule. We must continue to vote and fight for democracy.
It’s getting very late & not near enough done. France is good at revolutions I hear. Perhaps we need to hire some of their leaders of revolution. Women were parading topless on one I saw. Chest painted. A little too much for us, but you get the idea.
Next? That’s hopeful. I sure as hell hope you are right & I’m wrong.
Of course we need an assault weapons ban.
Deadliest mass shooting in NYC since Rudy Guiliani was mayor! Vote for Mamdani so we don’t go back to those deadly days.
She is speaking truth here. The assault rifle ban reduced deaths from gun violence. Ding dong Bush the second who we all thought was the dumbest president ever reinstated it. Has anyone ever asked him why? Gun violence soared after.
Yep. And your colleague sit there day after day destroying the country for big paychecks
If your voice wasn't so needed where it is - I'd want you elsewhere so we could all get you cutting through the BS
Keep fighting! I think you are starting to get through to some of them 👏👏👏👏💪💪💪💪
