If you dig through #StephenPaddock's background, you are 100% likely to find instances of domestic abuse committed by him.
There is a reason mass shootings are exclusively committed by men. This is almost entirely about power and control. About asserting toxic masculinity over those around you. And it almost always starts not with the shooting or attempts at shootings, but against a domestic partner.

What people don't get about Beto O'Rourke vs. Ted Cruz is the same thing they didn't get about Hillary Clinton vs. Donald Trump. Social change and the marginal progress of equality has made the right wing in this country impervious to reason and beholden to prejudice.
Ted Cruz could be wrong 99 times and right once... just ONCE and the right will immediately embrace him. Beto O'Rourke can be right 99 times and wrong once... just ONCE, and the right wing will hold that against him till his grandchildren have died.
Politics for the right wing - especially the White right wing - is no longer about what is "good for everyone economically" in the long term. It is what they can do to hurt those they disagree with on social issues in the short run. You can't fix that because one party loves it.

You know what doesn't stop suicide? Posting a Facebook update every six months in response to a celebrity's suicide that says, "If you ever feel like killing yourself, reach out to me." Or, "I'm always here for you. Call me if you need me."

#WorldSuicidePreventionDay
You know what DOES stop suicide? Talking to people you care about. Listening to their problems. Especially being mindful of and being present in the lives of loved ones that you *know* are at-risk of suicide because of depression, anxiety or PTSD.

#WorldSuicidePreventionDay
I tried suicide. I failed. I have several friends who tried. A couple of them succeeded. No one is going to reach out to you if you haven't stretched a hand to them. And occasional words, directed at no one are not an outstretched hand.

The more important question is this: why do hidden people in the White House who never got a single vote get to decide the direction of our government? The only thing worse than a criminal in the White House is unidentified unelected potential criminals making his decisions.
What the NYT op/ed White Dude is saying this: Trump is possibly a criminal, probably bad for the country and definitely an amoral prick, but since he is helping us cut taxes and make the rich richer, we will continue to protect him by not letting him fuck up our plans.
This is not resistance. This is enabling a tyrant while trampling democratic principles in the name of patriotism while proclaiming the glorioysness of your successful efforts to hurt the poor and enrich your friends.

THREAD: As an asylee and former detainee at a private prison contracted by ICE, this story is not shocking to me. In my time in ICE detention, I witnessed multiple instances of sexual harassment and heard stories of abuse and assault from fellow detainees.

First you need to know the size of the population of immigrations - both documented and undocumented - that pass through detention facilities run by the DOJ or their contractors. It's in hundreds of thousands. Per CAP, that number was 400,000 in 2015 alone americanprogress.org/issues/immigra…
Despite the fact that people detained for immigration violations are "civil" detainees, and not criminal ones, the treatment you receive in these detention facilities is just like any prison. They come complete with lock up times, yard times and even punitive solitary confinement

Good morning. It's a great day to yet again explain why Trump won and what you can do going forward to both defeat fascism in America now and stop its spread in the future. See: “The people who hate Trump the most are the people who have been running Washington for decades."
That my friends isn't a quote by me. It's a quote by White Liberal darling Glenn Greenwald in his profile in The New Yorker today. And if you think I'm putting that out of context, here's the full quote and the story: newyorker.com/magazine/2018/…
Yes... yes! The people who hate Trump most are the people who have been running Washington for decades. As in politicians. You know? Hillary hates Trump the most. Also Nancy Pelosi. THAT WITCH! Possibly even Paul Ryan. Maybe even Mitch McConnell? Exactly!

My mom died of cancer in April after a long and grueling battle. I don’t want John McCain to suffer. But he is not a hero. He voted again and again to hurt poor people and minorities. He made his choice. I hope when he passes on, it’s in peace - even tho he denied it to so many.
John McCain would be a hero if he stood up in 2003 and said: “My fellow Americans, I cannot in good conscience vote to start a war in Iraq. Thousands will die. Millions will lose their homes. Millions more will become refugees.”

Did he? No. He voted for all that.
John McCain would be a hero if just last year, he stood up and said: “Although my family would personally benefit greatly from this, these new tax cuts for the super rich are totally unjustified and will surely place the burden on the poor.”

Did he? No. He voted for them.
