My brief take on the #ParklandSchoolShooting anniversary: The fact that, as many have pointed out, we remember the names of survivors and not the shooter is a welcome advance — a sign that media do have a choice not to keep repeating their role in the ingrained script.
Time will tell whether the Parkland movement changes mass shootings — reduces the mystique and so the allure for prospective shooters, maybe makes them less frequent. There's already some anecdotal reason to believe that notoriety has become a less potent incentive.
That said, it's hard to be sure that the Parkland movement is an unalloyed good. Far better to make celebrities of survivors than shooters. But the need to respond to social traumas by finding *someone* to make a celebrity out of has a troubling continuity with the old dynamic.

With yesterday's swearing in of the new Congress, this major update concerning the GOP lawmakers now tied to Russia and/or what Mueller and the DOJ have been investigating is needed.
of note, an "x" by a lawmaker's name means he's a former lawmaker.

In today’s WTF news: Guns Do Kill People.
Not one piece of gun legislation has been introduced by the GOP since Columbine.
A tax exempt lobbyist org is lining GOP politician’s pockets to look the other way while our nation’s children are being slaughtered.

Californians are increasingly targeted with commercial, political or other messages carried by automated accounts masquerading as actual human beings. #BotHertzberg #SB1001
Fake accounts, known as bots (like me!) can help sway advertising audiences and reshape political debates through the false credibility, and popularity, they lend to ideas or users. #BotHertzberg #SB1001
Online companies are not currently required to disclose the presence of bots like me. #BotHertzberg #SB1001
I'm frustrated that (at least on my Twitter feed) this isn't the main storyline of the historic gun control bill passed in the wake of the #ParklandSchoolShooting, especially in light of @teamtrace's recent piece on precisely how the NRA wields influence in the legislature. 1/n
Main stories I'm seeing: from the left, the NRA's lawsuit against Florida, and concerns about arming teachers; from the right, following the NRA's talking point about this bill being an affront to 2nd-amendment rights. 2/n
Re: arming teachers, I'm seeing a lot of rhetoric about how the proposal is really about selling more guns, or giving guns to all teachers. But the text of the actual bill mandates a *TON* of requirements for who can be essentially a school version of an air marshal. 3/n
And we’re finally underway. @WhiteHouse pscp.tv/w/bVsq8zIxNzZ8…
Victims and families of #ParklandSchoolShooting have "constantly been in our thoughts and prayers," says @PressSec.
"Members of the Parkland community" will be among those at @WhiteHouse "listening session" tomorrow.
TRUMP CHANGED HIS HEADER PHOTO… again. It may sound silly to mention it, but it IS important. Here’s why… (Thread)
We focus on his tweets – which is reasonable, considering how they could affect the entire frig'n planet – but when it comes to his header photos, we should 1/16

remember the old saying “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Trump spends an inordinate amount of time obsessing over his header photo. He’s like an adolescent teen, sometimes changing it twice in a week. His choices are telling. Let’s start at the beginning, for his first 2/16
header photo, Trump chose one of his inauguration… except that it was wasn’t his. The photo was taken during OBAMA'S inauguration. Trump changed it to a flag an hour later after being called out, & again after that, to one of himself gazing out the window, probably wishing 3/16
