Eight years ago, 17 people were killed and 17 more were injured in a mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
Honor them with action by calling your Members of Congress at (202) 224-3121 to pass an #AssaultWeaponsBan.
Positive masculinity right here.
18 years ago, five people were killed and 17 more were injured in a mass shooting at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Illinois.
We remember the lives taken and will continue to #HonorWithAction.
Same!
I’m guessing Massillon or Austintown Fitch.
This behavior is unholy on the deepest level.
Tomorrow, we’ll remember #NorthernIllinois and #Parkland.
Your regular reminder that school mass shootings are policy choices. Never inevitable.
That’s literally the title of a talk I am giving about AI resistance later this spring.
From a religious perspective, it’s about the most unholy thing imaginable.
”People speak sometimes about the 'bestial' cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts, no animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel.”

Thread 4/5🧵
The fact that she was cast as the “ugly wife” in The Tudors series was…unforgivable.
His novels are so under the radar! He would be on my top 5 people to have at a dinner party because he seems to know about EVERYTHING! Chess! Tango! Drug trafficking! Satan!
I really can’t watch any of these ice flip videos without thinking about how a white man is being rewarded for accomplishing what a Black woman was punished for doing 30 years ago
Surya Bonaly was an incredible athlete and she was treated like shit for it
Listening to the 2016 Radiolab episode about her right now, for this very reason.
“If only there was a legislative body meant to serve as a check on the president.” Oh well.
I cannot be the only person thinking about how Surya Bonaly was treated for doing the same back flips on the ice that these white boys are getting applauded for at the Olympics today
Tony, I’m really sorry. Thinking of you all With sympathy.

I thought this was superb and devastating. Christ in the Rubble, by Rev. Munther Isaac.
Seriously, this is the best thread of the year
1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
Check in with my rep #MorganGriffith of the #VA9 while you’re at it.

Not sure if my book will give a break from the suck, but this is my #memoir about surviving a school shooting. It won the 2024 Washington Writers Publishing House #nonfiction prize! @wwph.bsky.social
That woke mobster Bartolomeo de las Casas. Will we never hear the end of him??
Congratulations!!
I just rewatched The West Wing and this dynamic is SO awful there.
And your and your colleagues’ next step is—?
What
The absolute
Hell
And again—did ANY other journalist. In the room call him out??
