I’m going to be doing a series of tweets every day for a week or 2 to help inform young people on the possibility of running for office.

These tweets are NOT endorsements but are just to show that it is possible to run for office at a young age and there are people that do.

Everyone should be disturbed by the leader of the School Safety Commission (which opened following the shooting at MSD) going on NRATV.

This is supposed to be a non-partisan commission that looks at safety; it’s goal is supposed to be protecting students, not selling more guns.
Not to mention school safety only protects kids from bullets coming from inside our schools, not outside. Where is the commission on community safety?

Seems to me our politians only care when kids from higher socioeconomic statuses get shot.
Unsurprisingly the NRA also funds Sherriffs political campaigns. The undermining of our democracy and the arming of criminals everyone, bought to you by the NRA.

THREAD: Arming teachers does just about as much as thoughts and prayers to reduce gun violence.

That does 2 things
1. Puts students in danger
2. Sells more guns, promoting the NRA’s deadly agenda.
According to research my Sheldon Greenberg a former LEO and current Johns Hopkins University Education professor, “Whether teachers could use their firearm effectively in an active shooter situation is, said Greenberg, a “crapshoot.”’citylab.com/life/2018/03/w…
For anyone that wants to read the entire study you can read it here

There are dozens of assumptions we make when talking about arming teachers compared to LEOs

Here is a thread of MLK’s
6 principles of nonviolence in my opinion, probably the one the best tools for organizing ever created.
PRINCIPLE ONE: Nonviolence is a way of life for courageous people.
It is active nonviolent resistance to evil.

It is aggressive spiritually, mentally and emotionally.
PRINCIPLE TWO: Nonviolence seeks to win friendship and understanding.
The end result of nonviolence is redemption and reconciliation.

The purpose of nonviolence is the creation of the Beloved Community.

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

Things that WON'T help with midterms:
-- Fighting on social media
-- Complaining about the GOP
-- Arguing who would be a better 2020 presidential candidate
Things that WILL help with midterms:
-- Canvassing
-- Calling a campaign and asking what they need
-- Phonebanking
More things that WON'T help with midterms:
-- Telling everyone that we are doomed so why even try
-- Deciding that no candidate is perfect and not voting
-- Seeing that you won't be first affected by the GOP
Things that WILL help:
-- Helping people get to the polls
Things that WON'T help with midterms:
-- Staying home because apathy is cool
-- Trading memes with the one cousin you agree with
Things that WILL help:
-- Canvassing for a local congressional swing district (@swingleft)
-- Canvassing for a local state race (@Sister_District)

If you're going to be doing campaign/GOTV work on election day, consider applying for an absentee ballot. It'll give you a lot more flexibility to go where you're needed for as long as you're needed.
I haven't voted in person in a presidential election since 2000. Every cycle (and some in between) I take my kids to a swing district and door-knock from Saturday through Tuesday.
In 2004, my plan was to drive home from Philly in time to vote in NYC before the polls closed, but I wound up putting in a full day and going to the (state leg) campaign's victory party, so I didn't get to vote.

[1/] I'm so tired of the tactics, from both sides.
These damn morons have a simple job. Receive a bill, read it, think ahead, what effects will this have? Think into the future a bit. dailycaller.com/2018/07/18/rep…
[2/] Ask yourself "Is this the best thing for the people I represent?"
When you can answer that, you will know how to vote. Anything else is an over reach of power. They are there to guarentee our rights and protect us. We need to stop worrying about the special interest groups.
[3/] Get the businesses out of the pockets of our representatives. Tighten up the rules on what Congress can and can not do. Cut off the roads that leads them into a life of luxury, and back into public service that they signed up for.

makes several good points in here. Definitely worth the read, and not for necessarily the reasons you think. Thread attached.
2. She points out that people are getting tired of Trumpov, tired of the shit show, tired of the new outrage every few days. I know I am.
This is very dangerous.
3. There are a few reasons we have the government we have, and Russia is nowhere near the main one. Inattention and boredom is the main one.
