@tferriss Team of UChicago grads just put this up yesterday to help vulnerable populations (senior citizens, sick individuals) request help from members of their community that are well enough to support them https://t.co/rZwVIdpg88
According to @PolitiFact, 850000 federal workers are furloughed per day under a government shutdown in the US. Is an idiotic border wall more important than our American workers?
The @kingcollegeprep gave students weak excuses as to why they can’t have a quality education and feel safe at their school! They ended up forcing the student activist out of the building! They’re now protesting outside!

Join us tonight at 6:30 on 78th and Bennett for a press conference to honor Jasmine Marie Johnson. Johnson, the cousin of @FMSupreme, was shot and killed by her boyfriend this week. We must act now to change gun violence legislation. We deserve better. Jasmine deserved better.

Every activist I know would give up verification for 1 more day with their best friend. Would give up magazine covers for 1 more smile. Would give up everything to get them back.
We don’t do this for fun or followers.
We do this because the ones we’ve buried deserved better.

So excited to reactivate my twitter and connect! Also-- Thank you to all the hardworking state reps and state senators that helped make #Illinois200 a special one by voting to form the #ILCouncilOnWomenAndGirls! #twill

Survivors of sexual assault deserve to be able to safely come forward and tell their stories – to be heard and believed. We can’t let our broken system fail them more than it already has. #HandsOffIX https://t.co/gWt0Us6dIO
