It’s been almost a year since I survived the Highland Park Independence Day Parade shooting. A few days after, my workplace got
@fred_guttenberg
to speak to our traumatized team about how to handle this incredibly horrific situation we found ourselves in. I told him about being
BREAKING: Assault Weapons were just banned in Illinois in a comprehensive bill that contains other numerous gun violence prevention measures.
Retweet if you think we need this done nationally!

Hi, my name is Parker and I’m a student and mass shooting survivor who is working to ban assault weapons nationwide. Since Elon Musk’s takeover of twitter I have lost hundreds of followers. Retweet and follow to tell Elon we are not giving up!
This is the crazy true story of how a Trump-appointed election denier went on to start a dating app and is now leading a Christian nationalist project to alter American governance as we know it. This story only gets crazier as it goes on, so strap in.

Hi, my name is Parker and I am an activist and mass shooting survivor. I am one of the advocates who helped pass the huge gun safety bill that bans assault weapons in Illinois. Will you join me on my mission by retweeting and following? I can’t do my work without your help.
BREAKING: Trump has announced that he would undo every Biden action that reduces gun violence if elected. As a Highland Park survivor, I’m outraged.
Retweet to let everyone know the dangers of a second Trump term.
Hi, my name is Parker and I'm a mass shooting survivor. I use my horrific experience to advocate for better gun safety laws, and am going to meet with officials at the Capitol next week. Will you join my mission by retweeting and following? I can’t do my work without your help.

WOW. Trump said he would undo every gun violence prevention action put in place by the Biden Administration on his first day in office. As a survivor of the Highland Park mass shooting, I’m outraged.
Retweet to let everyone know the dangers of a second Trump term!
I think it’s interesting that I haven’t heard almost any Republican say that they are proud to support McCarthy. Democrats are proud to support Hakeem Jeffries.
I couldn’t fit everything in this overview, so if you found this interesting I highly recommend reading
@jonkarl
’s piece on McEntee in the Atlantic. It covers most of what I did + more. Additionally, check out McEntee’s socials… it’s crazy.

BREAKING: No Labels has officially announced they will nominate a third-party ticket for the 2024 presidential election. Remember, this is just an elaborate ploy to elect Donald Trump.
Retweet to tell No Labels that you will be voting for Joe Biden instead!
@ChrisDJackson
Trump literally had a protest broken up and tear gassed so he could take a photo op in front of a church. I think that counts as censoring political speech.
BREAKING: The White House has launched new guidelines to promote safe gun storage. This is one of the easiest ways to prevent mass shootings. President Biden continues to be the only presidential candidate working to save lives from gun violence.
I can’t even explain how crazy some of these TikToks are. You just have to search him up yourself and watch them. In one recent one he says he gives homeless people counterfeit money so that they are arrested when they try to spend it. I wish I was kidding.

Hi, my name is Parker and I am a proud gen-z supporter of President Biden. I am organizing to expose MAGA hypocrisy and ensure they don’t have a chance of winning this November.
Can you help me out by retweeting and following?
Upon a background check and security clearance review, the Trump White House found out that he was under investigation by the Department of Homeland Security for financial crimes. He was quickly fired by then-Chief of Staff John Kelly.

President Trump tasked McEntee with removing all appointees who were not deemed sufficiently loyal. McEntee turned PPO into a secret police force.
6/18
Remember when Biden said “watch me”? We did, and he was right. One of the most successful presidents in modern American history. I’m so thankful he is our president.
In January 2020 he was rehired by the White House to lead the Presidential Personnel Office. PPO is in charge of hiring/firing all political appointees in the administration. McEntee had no management experience.

The dating app isn’t doing to well, mainly because not enough women have signed up. McEntee’s marketing for the app consists of various TikToks of “gotcha” arguments against liberals, all of which contain some sort of rhetorical fallacy.
12/18
John McEntee was hired in the early days of the Trump administration to be the President’s body man. He went everywhere Trump did, and was always right by his side. He was even referred to by some as “Deputy President.” However, this came to an abrupt end.
2/18
If Trump is reelected, McEntee will have an incredible amount of influence upon the administration. He would likely be the man in charge of changing American governance as we know it by filling the government with Trump-aligned employees rather than merit.
17/18
McEntee is in charge of Project 2025’s personnel database of Trump loyal government appointees. This is described as “institutionalizing Trumpism” in the federal government for decades to come.
15/18
In one instance, an administration official was reprimanded for liking a Taylor Swift photo on Instagram since she was pro-Biden. But McEntee used his position in power for more than just hiring/firing matters…

Some of Project 2025’s other goals are to immediately ban abortion, “recognize America as a Christian nation,” repeal all climate portions of the Inflation Reduction Act, and put America back on the gold standard.

Know this: Biden will go down as one of the most consequential presidents in modern American history. In a time of intense hate and vitriol, he has been a uniter protecting democracy at home and abroad.
McEntee incorrectly asserted that Thomas Jefferson "Used His Position as VP to Win" the 1801 election, which McEntee claimed "proves that the VP has, at a minimum, a substantial discretion to address issues with the electoral process."

After January 6th and Biden’s inauguration, McEntee focused on starting a tech company. He eventually landed on the idea of “The Right Stuff,” a conservatives-only dating app with the slogan “profiles without pronouns.”
10/18
He even obtained huge name investors such as Peter Thiel, the founder of PayPal and noted Republican donor. Thiel say if as part of a trend for conservatives to create alternative conservative media outlets.

2022 recap:
- 332 people shot on school-grounds.
- 643 mass shootings.
- 19,939 firearm deaths (not including suicides).
- 71,600 licensed gun dealers operating nationwide.
- 14,700,000 guns sold.
If not now, when? If not now, then?…
While nothing will wipe the horrors I saw at a Highland Park parade from my mind, the Protect Illinois Communities Act provides solace knowing it'll be harder for it to happen here again. This is the result of an extensive effort by brave activists and legislators in the state.
As a Highland Park survivor, I’m proud to organize with gun violence prevention activists working tirelessly to make our communities safer. Every step forward is progress.
My New Years resolutions:
- Ban assault weapons.
- Keep a Democratic senate and flip the house blue.
- Reelect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Retweet and follow if you’re in.
One year ago I went with fellow gun violence survivors to the Illinois state capital to lobby for a high-powered semiautomatic rifle and high-capacity magazine ban. It passed and the Supreme Court upheld the law. Retweet if you think we need this done nationally in 2024!
BREAKING: President Biden has won the Michigan Democratic primary and delivered a massive defeat against a campaign to vote “uncommitted.”
Democrats are largely united behind President Biden.
For a lot of people here the initial reaction to me mentioning I’m a mass shooting survivor is trying to disprove it. The GOP is corrupting the minds of Americans. We must vote blue this November.
What an incredible honor to attend the biggest fundraiser in the history of the DNC with
@JoeBiden
,
@BarackObama
, and
@BillClinton
. It was an uplifting, moving, and thoughtful night that focused on the future, not the past.
THIS IS HUGE! One of the boldest executive actions to counter gun violence in American history! As a Highland Park survivor, I am proud to support President Biden.
BREAKING: President Biden has announced he will close the gun-show loophole that allowed guns to be sold without background checks. This new provision will enable the largest expansion of background checks for gun sales in 30 years.
I’m a Highland Park survivor. The answer is simple: banning assault weapons and instituting universal background checks. Republicans refuse to address the root causes of gun violence.
Hi, my name is Parker and I’m a student and mass shooting survivor who is working to ban assault weapons nationwide. Ron Desantis is fighting to make sure this never happens. Retweet and follow to tell Ron we are not giving up!
Let’s go over why this is misleading:
1. Democrats have yet to read the 71 page bill on the floor.
2. Democrats were denied 90 minutes to read the bill before the vote.
3. McCarthy refuses to bring the BIPARTISAN senate budget for a vote.
Republicans are just wasting time.
BREAKING: President Biden just congratulated dictator Kim Jong Un on North Korea’s admission to the WHO Executive Board
Actually, I lied. Donald Trump just did that.
BREAKING: A new DOJ report states that over 500 gun purchases have been denied to people under the age of 21 deemed a threat to society. President Biden is the first president to pass gun violence legislation in 30 years and the only candidate who supports an assault weapons ban.
While Ron Desantis tries to gain relevancy in Iowa after coming out against raising the debt ceiling, President Biden just saved the global economy. Retweet if you’re proud of President Biden!
So happy to hear
@POTUS
will be joining survivors like myself at tonight’s national gun violence vigil. He is one of our most compassionate Presidents.
Donald Trump said to “get over” mass shootings. I’m a Highland Park survivor who has dedicated the last 2 years advocating for gun safety laws. I can’t be in a crowded room without feeling claustrophobic. For me, the rhythmic beat of drums sounds like an AR-15.
I am NOT over it.
Trump this morning: "If any Jewish person voted for Joe Biden, they should be ashamed of themselves."
Tell me again which party has an antisemitism problem?
WOW. Trump just said in a new interview that he would fire all civil servants who do not believe the election was stolen.
Retweet to let people know the danger of another Trump term.
As a mass shooting survivor, I am extremely proud of President Biden’s leadership on this issue. I can’t wait for the day when he signs an assault weapons ban.
BREAKING: the Biden campaign has received high-profile endorsements from many of the nations largest gun violence prevention groups.
Let’s give him another four years and a Democratic congress so we can pass an assault weapons ban!
I look forward to the day when assault weapons are banned and mass tragedies are a thing of the past. I hope when people hear of Highland Park or Uvalde or Buffalo the first thing that comes to mind is their vibrant communities and not terrible acts of violence.
Sending well wishes to
@jamie_raskin
. I don’t know him personally but we have had a few brief encounters and he has always been kind and his service to this nation is above honorable. If he can take on insurrectionists, cancer will be a piece of cake. Go get ‘em Congressman! ❤️
BREAKING: President Biden just confirmed that his alter ego, “Dark Brandon” is in fact real. Retweet so all America knows we are going to reelect Dark Brandon.
Together, if we elect two more democratic senators, we can end the gun violence epidemic and ban assault weapons like the one that changed my life forever at Highland Park.
Hi, my name is Parker and I am a Highland Park mass shooting survivor and proud Biden-Democrat. Marjorie Taylor Greene insinuated I might be a crisis actor.
MTG will do anything to deny Gen-Z believes in preventing gun violence!
If you support President Joe Biden, then you'll love my page. I am a Gen Z progressive Democrat who shares insightful discussions, empowering activism, and a fresh perspective on the issues that matter most. Can you retweet and follow to help grow the movement?

Check out the AWESOME entrance of
@JoeBiden
,
@BarackObama
, and
@BillClinton
last night. They appeared out of the floor while the theater sang along to Born to Run. If it was Trump, it would have been the J6 prison choir.
When the first shots rang out at the Highland Park parade I watched dozens of police cars all drive into the parade route to stop the shooter. Those brave and heroic police officers were unable to catch him for eight hours.
The problem is the guns.
Republicans just expelled Rep. Justin Jones from the Tennessee legislature in an effort to silence the gun violence prevention movement after the murder of 3 students and 3 adults in Nashville.
Retweet if you refuse to be silenced.
