On the same day that they voted against multiple bills to pay teachers more and give more money to public schools, they vote for handgun training. Note: this bill does NOT outline safe storage of firearms in school. #Disgraceful #EmbarrassedofMyState

[Indiana State Teachers Association (ISTA) @ISTAmembers]

HB 1253 - handgun training for teachers, passes 32-14.

Folks are ready to stigmatize mental illness before they're ready to stigmatize racism & misogyny.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

19 out of 20 murderers have no mental illness diagnosis.

4 out of 5 mass shooters have no mental illness diagnosis, and half showed no signs on a prior, undiagnosed illness.

Framing this as just a mental illness problem is a gun industry trope. Period. Stop.

[Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein]

"There isn't a gun crisis, there's a mental health crisis"
So you support free mental healthcare?
"Oh goodness no"

[caitie delaney @caitiedelaney]

If I die in a mass shooting I give you full permission to take my body, stuff it in a cannon, aim it at Mitch McConnell’s office and send my lifeless corpse sailing right through that motherfucker’s window

[Sam Dylan Finch @samdylanfinch]

Reminders:

1. “Mental illness” does not mean “violent behavior that I don’t understand and want to (ignorantly) explain away.”

2. Mentally ill people are MUCH more likely to be the victims of violence than perpetrators.

3. Racism is not a mental illness.

[Miss Erin @erinlock3]

I, for one, am mentally ill and would never WANT a gun, let alone use one. Stop making excuses and start making change. #EndTheStigma

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

Racism is not a mental illness.
Xenophobia is not a mental illness.
Patriarchy is not a mental illness.

People that are mentally ill r more likely to be the victims of gun violence rather than the perpetrators.

2/3 of gun deaths are suicides stop stigmatizing mental illness.

I’m supposed to meet a friend for dinner tonight and I’m literally sitting here thinking “where are we least likely to get shot?”

Is that what the men who wrote the Constitution had in mind? Is that the life Republicans want all of us to live? Because that’s where we are.

[Indiana University - Program in Neuroscience @IUB_PNS]

Experts should speak up. Racism, white supremacy is not a mental illness. Saying so is disrespectful to the people who actually suffer from mental illness.

[Ayla Winter-White @aylawinter_]

my grandparents came to look after me after my surgery and my grandad told me he wanted to make me feel better, he told me he’s been painting my nan’s nails for 30 years and that he wanted to paint mine and I needed to share this. “How many coats do you have on?”😭😭

Whenever I meet a little girl, I say: “I’m running for president, because that’s what girls do,” and we pinky promise so they’ll remember.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

I'm angry because multi-millionaires like you and Trump have rigged our economy at the middle class' expense.

I'm angry because millions are living paycheck to paycheck.

I'm angry because 34 million Americans are uninsured.

Why doesn't that anger you?

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

I'm tired

I'm tired of tweeting out # [insert city name here] strong every week.

I'm tired of moments of silence, thoughts and prayers as people continue to die every day.

I’m tired of having a government so divided they can’t come together to save lives or our future.

[Midwest vs. The Rest @midwestern_ope]

midwest culture is:

-driving with the windows down when it’s 47 degrees out bc “it’s
finally nice outside”

-saying goodbye 20 times and standing around talking for another half hour while slowly inching your way out the door

-apologizing to your car after hitting a pothole

[Lin-Manuel Miranda @Lin_Manuel]

Gnight.
Get what you need—sleep, quiet, a phone call with a friend, tea—
so that you have the capacity to be kind. The space to do better tomorrow.
Make room for the miracle.
Make way for the miracle.
(Allow to yourself that you are also the miracle.)

[Martin Luther King III @OfficialMLK3]

In 1969, Mister Rogers invited a black officer to join him in a pool, during a time when racial tensions were high, and pools still segregated. He displayed on television, to his huge audience of children (the next generation), that diversity is good. Thank you, #MisterRogers. 📺

[Miss Erin @erinlock3]

Seriously messed up my wrist somehow. I didn’t know such a small body part could cause so much pain
