For this year’s #TransDayOfVisibility, we asked friends to share a message of love & solidarity with our young trans followers, and send a rallying cry to the culture at large that we will not stand for the right wing’s political attacks. Hate ends here: https://t.co/8NX335Eoju

Today, DMH, ODS and @MoSEMA_ are hosting an Active Threat Tabletop Exercise. This is an opportunity for our regional facilities to discuss security, communication and safety when an active threat occurs in their facilities.
@DisneyDLV One of the batteries disappeared from the room when gathering them for Buzz. My inventory was full and it disappeared. On the switch. Any ideas?
In response to #HurricaneIan, the NCTSN has resources to help in having conversations with your family about safety, going to higher ground, and information to help navigate what they are experiencing, their feelings, and ways for them to #cope. View: https://t.co/Xp3mcQ3Wjf
"We could spend our whole lives waiting for someone to apologize or take responsibility for how they hurt us before we decide to let go. But the problem with that scenario is, we've made someone else in charge of how and when we heal..." ~ Unknown

REMINDER: People with mental illnesses are more likely to be victims of violent crime than perpetrators.
America has similar rates of mental health issues as peer nations, yet has a 26 times higher gun homicide rate.
It's weak gun laws that are to blame. #EndGunViolence
These kinds of mass shootings rarely happen elsewhere in the world.
Why are we willing to live with this carnage? Why do we keep letting this happen? Where in God’s name is our backbone to have the courage to deal with it?
It’s time to turn this pain into action.
