Our democracy is only as good as the integrity of our system.

In 2018, about 8.2 million people cast their vote — almost 2 million more than projected. Turnout among active and inactive voters increased across the board. But Florida also revealed the inequities that still exist.
2.6+ million people voted by mail.

The statewide average of rejected VBM ballots in 2018 was 1.2%, higher than the 2012 or 2016 presidential elections. In Broward County, it was 2.8% —and even higher among voters between the ages of 18-21.
As the entire nation applauded the young organizers from Parkland for getting engaged, research by @electionsmith shows about 15% of their vote-by-mail ballots were rejected. They didn't have a voice in this election.

I want to congratulate @RonDeSantisFL on becoming the next Governor of the great state of Florida. My wife R. Jai and I could not be prouder of the way we ran this race. We could not be more thankful to my running mate, @ChrisKingFL and his wife Kristen.
Most importantly, from the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for being part of this campaign. I wouldn’t be here without the support that was shown by millions of Floridians. I encourage y’all to keep fighting for what we believe in.
We are going to keep fighting. We will keep working. And in the end, I believe that we will win. I am so thankful to each and every one of you.

I got a tricky story about my Mother I love telling. Suppose I better say it or what!
Gulama flew us to Broken Hill. My brother and I. We stayed overnight there because the only transport was a bus back to Wilcannia where family were living.
For weeks before I’d be talking to brothers, sisters & cousins on phone at Gulama office to get a connection to everyone.

Reflections Of A Canadian Mom 🥐🥐

Hi Tweeple,
Been a while!
Here are my current thoughts on globalism and why a NWO doesn't work! Bear with me here.
Thank you Twitter for adding the plus button!!!!

Ok, here goes.....
I do believe that we must all treat each other with the same respect and dignity that we give to family.

Therefore, we are all brothers and sisters. A global family, if you will.

We cannot function well without the other members of the family's support, knowledge, guidance...
We must support each other, no matter the nationality.

But, a family functions by supporting each other at arms distance.

Your parents don't always micromanage. They let go and let their children make mistakes and learn.

They don't keep allowances into adulthood.

A Sunday reflection to get your mind off of politics for a minute.

His Holiness @dalailama often says that the key to happiness is not having what you want, but rather, wanting what you have. (1/6)
This is a timeless concept warning us that beyond a basic standard of living, greater happiness will never come from the acquisition of more and more material things. (2/6)
Of course, innovation and material progress are blessings we should celebrate. They have given us comfortable lives and pulled billions of our brothers and sisters out of poverty. (3/6)

"Today we are challenged as the People of God to take on the pain of our brothers and sisters wounded in their flesh and in their spirit. " Listen. Many of us have taken this pain on LOOONG before the clergy cared about it.
I'm going to relate briefly one of the reasons why I write about clergy sexual abuse in the Catholic church. When I lived in Los Angeles, a former priest of the parish I belonged to was arrested for child molestation...
The parish priest at the time knew it was going to be a $hitstorm, so he asked me and another member of the church (a theologian, I am being vague for privacy purposes) to hold an evening healing service and come up with a liturgy.

I’ve tweeted about this before but the gravity of the situation has escalated. Please, do what you can to retweet and trend this #WeWantJustice because the world needs to know. Tag as many news sources as you can because there has been little international media attention.[Thread
On July 29, 2 school students in Bangladesh waiting for transportation were killed by a reckless bus driver, while 7 others were injured. The bus rammed into a crowd full of people. Since then, students nationwide in Bangladesh, and mainly the capital city Dhaka have been
peacefully protesting for safe roads a for all students. Protests have been going on for 6 days and the students have taken on traffic patrol in their own hands. You can read about it more here: bbc.com/news/world-asi…

There is so much ugliness in the world. The #Hivites are not only working as hard as they can to create as much chaos & negativity in the world as possible, they are also contributing to that swell of negativity with their own DREAD & HATE. I refuse to contribute to that feeling.
There is going to be ugliness & violence, probably more frequently, as the stakes get higher & the #Hivites continue losing ground. I know there is so much bad news to report, & everyone is angry & wanting justice. The DEMAND for justice is palpable. And it is good. But...
Truly, the very BEST thing #WeThePeople can do is counter-BALANCE this negativity with LOVE. With COMPASSION. With honest recognition of truth & firm, unwavering enforcement of reasonable BOUNDARIES. How would you speak to a 4 year old? Do that with these bad actors. Because...
