@netflix My whole family enjoyed #LockwoodandCo Why should we get invested in your shows if you aren't?

Texans own among the most guns per capita of any state. If more guns and fewer gun laws made us safer, Texas would be the safest state. Instead it has high rates of gun suicide and homicide, and is home to four of the 10 deadliest mass shootings in the US.

I just saw the pile of bodies video and I just want to say republican politicians have made a decision that the American people must live this way. Few other countries live like this.

I just want to make a few things clear:

The Holocaust happened.

Hitler was a demonic figure.

And instead of giving it a platform, our political leaders should be calling out and rejecting antisemitism wherever it hides.

Silence is complicity.

The Statue of Liberty doesn’t say “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, and then throw them on a bus for some cheap political stunt.”

This is America. And these are human beings – not props. We're better than this. 🇺🇸

This whole thread. Abortions are necessary health care. Outlawing abortions means that you are condemning women to death. It is the opposite of pro-life.

[Suzanne @SJohnsdottire]

Pro-lifers don't like complexity. At 17 weeks my placenta detached and he was much too small. I thought I felt my baby's frantic attempts to breathe. My OBGYN advised me to terminate the pregnancy, there wasn't much time. But I couldn't.

[Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 @joncoopertweets]

If banning abortion "stops abortions," let's ban guns and stop gun violence.

[Andrea Junker @Strandjunker]

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it a thousand times: The treatment for an ectopic pregnancy, a septic uterus, or a miscarriage that your body won’t release is abortion. If you can’t get those abortions, you die. You. Die.

[David Frum @davidfrum]

If a gunman in a school is too difficult and dangerous for a typical local police force to handle, the right response is not to condemn local police forces as cowardly. The right response is to discredit the "good guy with a gun" fantasy.

Reposting this because I don’t know what else to say. This isn’t freedom America. This is a nightmare. #texas

@kateatherley Maybe it needs a catchy slogan? "If you're gonna knit, make it fit!" 🤔

[Laura Booth @LauraGBooth]

@kateatherley I spend a decent amount of time persuading my students to view patterns as starting points that often need to be tweaked in order to fit properly. Bc we are all unique in shape/size, and identifying that up front can prevent us from making things that won't fit & won't get worn.
