I love this photo of former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, Hillary Clinton, and Giffords' husband Mark Kelly taking a selfie together. It just makes my heart happy, to see Giffords thriving, after surviving an assassination attempt in January 2011.

It's also a meaningful photo in the sense that it's a reminder that gun reform is on the ballot. Not that anyone could be blamed for forgetting, since the media have abandoned even any pretense that policy is an important metric by which to assess presidential candidates.
