Hi! My name is Chris Mowrey! Iโm a 21 Gen-Z liberal. Iโm very passionate about how terrible the Trump moment has been for America.
The disinformation campaign that has lead to elections being contested, our democracy being threatened, and women losing rights, has led me down a path of working on campaigns and being vocal on social media.
Gen-Zers are often seen as lazy and dramatic. However, I realized that this generation has gifts that will lead to the revitalization of this country. And I know we wonโt shut up about things that matter to us.
I have a podcast with Harry Sisson, another Gen-Z advocate, called Chris and Harry Unplugged. We talk politics in a laid back fashion. Itโd mean a lot if you could check it out. I appreciate the hell out of all the non Gen-Zers who care about our generation.

A THREAD!
@KimPKAG4EVA That's actually what you are supposed to do, stand in reverent silence and with your hands at your side. Putting your hand on your chest is for the pledge of allegiance.
Itโs unnecessary to debate whether enslaved people benefitted from slavery.
Let us not be distracted by what extremists are trying to do, which is to create unnecessary debates to divide our country.
Let us stand together for what we know is right.
and wills often contained instructions on how to train child slaves. Even the Emancipation Proclamation did not end Big Sugar's use of slave labor in Florida. The U.S. Sugar Corporation was indicted for enslaving black sugarcane workers on Florida plantations as late as 1942,
This is a statement from two of the people who wrote Florida's new education standards on slavery. In it they give several names of people to exemplify slaves who learned skills they applied later in life.
Let's go through the supposed truth of this list one by one.
@TheSWPrincess One of the people listed as writing these standards, Frances Presley Rice, is a screenwriter with a law degree. A SCREENWRITER. You know, someone who makes up stories for a living. No history or education experience that I can see. https://t.co/dQB9X8th4N
