Another school shooting in the US today. It’s tragic, it’s horrible & escalating in our gun culture.

I💚Math. An int’l language, it makes sense to me when the rest of the world doesn’t. Especially when it comes to numbers & statistics on guns in the US

everytownresearch.org/gun-violence-b…
Statistically, in the US a shooting incident takes place every 60 hours. We are down to hours in between shootings. Not days, weeks, months or years. It’s HOURS.

Every day in the US, 96 people die from gun violence & 222 people are shot but survive.

Australia, had 4 mass shootings between 1987–1996. After 1996, It took Parliament just 12 days to pass stricter gun laws. They haven’t had a mass shooting since. It’s been 34 days since Parkland.

The US needs to follow their lead.
Here’s how they did it

The latest blame by Trump and Congress is Video games. This is fallacy. Japan’s video game sales are almost double the US’. In 2015, they had 1 murder by gun. The US had over 10,000. Japan has Gun Control laws, we do not.

Here’s how Japan did it:

There’s a march this weekend, March 24 #MarchForOurLives

We need to turn out for this and support our nation’s children by saying #NeverAgain and #GunReformNOW.
Our lives and our children’s lives are literally depending on this.

Find an event here
➡️ marchforourlives.com
If you’re unable to attend the #MarchForOurLives in person, please join in online for the #VirtualMarchForOurLives.

@LunaLuvgood2017 and @Havok_2018 will be hosting an event here on Twitter.

Here’s some more things we can all do on #GunReform

1️⃣Call your local, state and federal lawmakers EVERY DAY on this. Demand #GunLaws

2️⃣Get involved locally in @MomsDemand. I went to my first meeting 2 weeks ago.

Find a meeting near you
➡️momsdemandaction.org/take-action/
3️⃣ #VOTE‼️
Vote for candidates who aren’t bought by the NRA. An F rating gets my vote. Here are candidates running who’ve pledged not to take NRA money
➡️nonramoney.org/list

Alternatively, here’s a list of those who’ve taken #NRABloodMoney
➡️opensecrets.org/industries/sum…
The US has a gun culture like none of our other peer countries. We now have a gun epidemic on our hands. The shooting incidences are escalating and will continue to increase. Nothing will change unless we continue to take action and demand #GunReform and #GunLaws
#NeverAgainIsNow

As the govt continues to ignore the crisis in Puerto Rico after #Maria, I urge those affected to prepare for #Florence

It’s a Cat 4-5 & flooding is predicted.

Here’s how to prepare & what to do if you run out of bottled water after.

Please RT this thread— it could save a life.

First—listen to your state & local news. EVACUATE if you’re mandated. Don’t leave your pets behind.

I worked on the rescue efforts after Harvey & Irma. I spoke to people on dying phones who didn’t evacuate. They required rescue from rooftops.
#Florence
3/
If you’re not mandated to evacuate for #HurricaneFlorence, see @NOAA’s list of numbers and supplies you‘ll need
👉nhc.noaa.gov/prepare/ready.…

@Firechatapp is a web app & works when cell towers go down between phones.

Prepare & have 1 gallon/day water supply for 7 days minimum.

55 years ago today, August 28, 1963 in WA DC:

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”—Martin Luther King jr

63 years ago today on August 28, 1955, 14 year old Emmett Till was kidnapped in the middle of night in Mississippi, brutally beaten, murdered & thrown in a river for cat-calling a white woman at a corner store. His killers were acquitted in less than 1 hour.
#BlackLivesMatter

In 2016, the woman who accused Emmett Till said she had lied in her statements, in court, under oath.
👉vanityfair.com/news/2017/01/h…

52 years later a sign was placed on the spot where Emmett Till’s body was found. It’s been replaced 3 times since for vandalism.

I’m a runner. Mollie Tibbett’s story terrifies me.

Running is such an integral part of me: it’s my passion, it’s empowering & a Huge part of my self care these days
The fact that it’s being politicized loses the lesson: it’s NOT who murdered her, it’s the WHY.

Although men empathize, they’ll never know the ways women/victims must think to protect themselves:

🔹Empty parking lots & elevators after hours
🔹At some places of employment, we need after hour escorts to our cars or the bus
🔹It’s a big reason why we use restrooms in packs
3/
Some safety tips I’ve had to adopt to go on a simple run:

🔹I Never run in the same place from one week to the next, or the same time of day– I mix it up
🔹I Never wear my long hair in a ponytail - too easy to grab
🔹My dog comes with me on all runs– so dogs must be allowed

For 2 years,Trump has called Russian interference a hoax & its investigation a witch hunt.
He eliminated the National Security coordinator position at the NSC.

Russia’s attack was an act of war but Trump& regime attended the NSC election security meeting for less than 30 minutes
Trump admin has no strategy for election security, & no one's in charge
👉nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna8…

Despite Russian interference and $380M in federal aid
🔹22 states opted out of upgrading voting machines
🔹42 states won’t have new voting equipment by Nov
👉politico.com/story/2018/07/…
Here’s what we can do:

Call your SOS:
🔹Hold them accountable for your state’s election security

Call your reps📲202-224-3121
Ask they pass:
🔹the bipartisan #DETERAct bill for midterms
🔹the #PAVEAct which calls for paper ballots & risk limited audits

Everyday as news comes out that supports the fact that we had a fraudulent election & have an #IllegitimatePresident, the MSM keeps pushing 1 thing: Votes weren’t changed.

This is NOT true.

The votes of MILLIONS were changed bc they were thrown off Russian hacked voter rolls.
The WH is now censoring the free press. They posted a fake version of the #TreasonSummit video & deleted where Putin said he wanted Trump to win & he helped.

The evidence is overwhelming: we have an #IllegitimatePresident installed by Putin & Russia.

👉
Midterms are already actively being hacked by Russia.

We must Demand Congress restore our democratic elections.

If we can mobilize in hours Trump potentially firing Mueller, we can organize an ongoing protest every evening & weekends in every major city.
