Trump paints a picture of immigrants bringing crime into the US. But look at the numbers. The immigrant population has risen in the US but violent crime has fallen. https://t.co/o5k6lG117V

We are aware of some hateful letters doing the rounds both nationally and locally, threatening our Muslim neighbours. Those responsible are being sought by police. In the meantime, we hope that the attached words of support and advice are of some comfort and use. #WeStandTogether

New polling post-Parkland finds that, for the first time in modern history, views of the NRA are net negative among voters.

The biggest declines come from white women and moderate Republicans.

This a big deal: without public support, the NRA’s lobbying clout vanishes.

I get #MarchForOurLives but I see the painful irony and white privilege at play here too. Innocent PoC are dying at an insane rate due to police violence in America. It’s disgusting that many of us with privilege are not raising our voices as loudly to support the #BLM movement.

A rare non-lexical entry from me. At a pub in the Irish country. An Irishman & an Englishman (both 60s) are talking about the US, not knowing me, an American, is in earshot. What are they talking about? The insanity of US guns and gun laws. #March4OurLives

Why would smart voters want to put Democrats in Congress in 2018 Election when their policies will totally kill the great wealth created during the months since the Election. People are much better off now not to mention ISIS, VA, Judges, Strong Border, 2nd A, Tax Cuts & more?
