It begins with the words.
Nothing happens without them. Sometimes, the writing achieves transcendence, but, in every case, it’s seminal. I got to a give a brilliant speech recently, which not only explicated my and my brother’s characters, it illuminated an entire narrative. 1/3
In this era of corporate greed and union busting, management seems to hold all the cards. Except for the most important ones: Unity; Solidarity; Fraternity. All of us win when the writers win. And we will win. Union! Strike!

This is what great writers do. And they need to be compensated in accordance with their contribution. At the very least, they need to be able to provide for themselves and their families. 2/3
When women are brave enough to reveal themselves as survivors, it's on US to show them we're prepared to do everything possible to fight for them. Holding men accountable is not women’s work. It’s OUR work.

This sweet little guy is NOT Easter dinner. He jumped off a transport truck and will now be traveling to an animal sanctuary to live a peaceful life. That’ll do pig. That’ll do.

This is horrific. How many people will be abused and ignored before this national organization's failure to protect the people in their care elicits national outrage?
The National Federation of the Blind acknowledged leadership within its affiliated training centers knew about multiple complaints of sexual misconduct but failed to take significant action in a report released on Wednesday.
My core issue with Judge Kavanaugh goes far deeper than the accusations of drunken sexual violence; as terrible as that is, both he and Dr. Ford are entitled to the presumption of innocence prior to a fair hearing.

Online voter registration is available in 38 states. Pre-registration for 16 & 17 yr olds available in 12 states. What would be powerful, is if every eligible student registered on their smartphone during the walkouts.

Please RT! We need to move quickly. We don’t just need the next generation of voters registered, we need them to vote in the primaries so they have candidates they can feel good about in the general.

Here’s the info for CA students:
Is there a plan 2 be registering voters @ every walkout site? A NONPARTISAN push 2 register these students will send the message loudly “We’re the future Republicans,Democrats,Libertarians, Greens,Independents...& we will NOT vote 4 politicians who represent the NRA!”

Not promoting violence, voting against it. You will never see me raising a fist. I’m a pacifist. My words were taken out of context. I’m worried about the blood of the dissent, protesters, more children shot at school, people shot while praying, for who they love and who they are
The survival of our planet is NOT a partisan issue. These students are heroic, courageous, and we all should give them our full support, and stand up with them. Please RT!

THREAD: Students at Warwick High School in Warwick, NY, had planned to participate in the National School Walkout on the 19th anniversary of the shooting at Columbine Hight School in Colorado. The purpose of the walkout is to bolster the discussion about gun-control measures.
We've heard from many of our customers that they would like to see 23andMe help reunite family members that were tragically separated from each other. Connecting and uniting families is core to the mission of 23andMe. We would welcome any opportunity to help.
On my way to support the students in my community, as they walkout at 10am. I will be helping to register them to Vote so their voices are heard. As we saw in PA, every vote matters. Will FB live if I can figure it out. 😜

Do you have children in your life? Are you a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, mentor, or simply a believer in their right to be heard? Ask them how you can support them. Show up at the walk outs. Help them register to vote. Do everything you can. We MUST.
REJECT the narrative “These kids just want to skip school...” DO NOT let them dissmiss you! DO NOT let them ignore you. STAND AND BE COUNTED! Register, and VOTE! Start NOW, with the primaries! In some states if you will be 18 by the general you can vote in the primaries. DO IT!
This is excellent. Thank you

But what about the primaries? We need them voting now so they have candidates they can stand behind in the general. And not just 10 states, EVERY state. Stand up and be counted.
On 3/14, students are walking out of class at 10am across time zones to demand Congress take action to stop gun violence. Show your solidarity with

Ed was a friend, and a wonderful actor. A progressive, a bit of a curmudgeon & at the same time, a prince among men. He honored his craft, served his Union, was fiercely loyal & kept his word. A hell of a poker player & generous to a fault. We’ll all miss him.
