Finally, the U.S. Men’s National Team is playing like the U.S. Women’s National Team. About time. 👏🇺🇸⚽

Extraño cuando me gustaba el mundial de futbol. Cuando Joaquin y yo celebrábamos cada gol de España o Argentina. Esta va por ti Joaquin! Y por cada uno de los ausentes por culpa de lideres politicos sin cojones. Viva GUAC! El gringo que quiera entender, que lo traduzca.

110 mass shootings since January 1st. 27 years since Columbine. 7 mass shootings in the last 48 hours. 0 federal laws passed.

Tomorrow, grieving families stand at the U.S. Capitol. These are their stories.

Watch. Share. Join the movement. https://t.co/szR7DpNgFK

Coast to coast — check.
Sound, lights, script — locked.
Only thing missing? You.

Don’t miss GUAC in Culver City.

OK! Now I’m confused. Isn’t this exactly the kind of situation where the FBI should track down whoever wrote this thread, arrest them, and remove any weapons they might have access to? This feels like a school shooter on steroids. Hurry up @FBIDirectorKash

This is my hometown, and we love vigils and bullshit.
Eight years ago, my son Joaquin Oliver was murdered after being shot four times in the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. Last December, Donovan Joshua, a friend of Joaquin whose life was profoundly altered after the school shooting, died by suicide with a gun when he was only 26 years old.
On April 1st, Nancy Metayer, who happened to be Donovan’s sister, was found dead in her home in Coral Springs after her abusive partner decided to use a gun and end her life.
Same town. Same destiny.
There is no difference between these tragedies. They hurt equally, and they are all the result of a community that forgets too fast and too conveniently.
We answer with vigils, candles, and prayers to distract ourselves from a political and social force that promotes arming our town so we can all protect one another from each other.
I do not buy that narrative, I say FU@K THAT. YES, FU@K THAT. And fuck anyone who decides to treat this as normal.
If we do not reject this NOW, the next victims will be on us because, in my reality, your thoughts, prayers, and inaction are called complicity.

“My family always comes first”— that’s the mentality Joaquin held, and that’s the approach we take in regard to carrying on his legacy.

Watch this with one fact in mind: the federal ban on assault weapons expired in 2004. @ChangeTheRef

[Manuel Oliver🟧 @manueloliver00]

How is your life “in danger” @RepMTG when your beloved Second Amendment supposedly gives you everything you need to protect yourself and your family? You claimed Parkland never happened, and now you’re suddenly trying to sympathize with everyone. That said, If you wanted to work with me so we could plan a strategy together, I would still tell you to f**k off and go to hell.

The students spoke. Now it’s your turn to demand stronger gun control.

Our show “GUAC” premiered at the Kirk Douglas Theatre last night in LA! If you��re in the area, grab your tickets now, as the show is playing through November 2nd!

We are ready to spread Joaquin’s message. In Guac’s own words… “LET’S GO!”

Parkland dad @manueloliver00:

"We have a president that has been able to do things without asking anyone. So I have a message for the president this time. You can make things happen. You can actually stop this from happening."

[Manuel Oliver🟧 @manueloliver00]

We all need to understand that buying a gun should never be this easy. Like any other industry in America, the gun industry must set boundaries and protect innocent lives. CEOs and corporate America must champion a “saving lives” agenda, whether they sell guns or not. If someone is shot in my backyard, it becomes my problem.

[Manuel Oliver🟧 @manueloliver00]

How long will corporate America support this BS? @Target isn't the time to work on some gun acquisition restrictions? Where do you stand here? No comments? 3 killed in Austin Target shooting; suspect is detained https://t.co/mrWcwFXvEf via @nbcnews

[Manuel Oliver🟧 @manueloliver00]

@HOUmanitarian @Target @NBCNews I never said they sell guns.

Hi @megynkelly, as the father of Jaime who was also killed in the Parkland shooting, and as a friend of @manueloliver00, Guac's dad, who is the parent that allowed this, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY WRONG!!! Manny is finding ways to make sure that people like you who want to forget about the reality of gun violence, don't. You could have interviewed Manny or me any time since the shooting, but you never did. Sit this one out and DO NOT criticize the parent who made this decision. Thank you @Acosta for doing this interview.

[Manuel Oliver🟧 @manueloliver00]

Happy to talk to you @megynkelly I'm surprised how easy people get offended with the AI of my son, and not with the fact that since Joaquin was shot, more than 350k people have died from gun violence in our country. It’s clear to me that our ethical standards are different. @ChangeTheRef
