Thank you so much to the US conference on AIDS for inviting me to come and speak!

If you’re not aware of how the #transgender community is affected by gun violence please check out this website

hrc.org/resources/viol…
While I was at the USCA I learned that one of the biggest issues the trans community faces when it comes to gun violence is that often times Trans people are misgendered by law enforcement, local media and even family members.
This often can make the the amount of gun violence the trans community faces be reported as significantly less then it actually is. Which is horrifying because of how many hate crimes can go unreported when people are not identified as being trans.

Listen up: If you marched with us then we need you now. What should be simple, routine, and evenly applied to all gun purchases isn’t. But now, we have a chance to fight for federal legislation. #HR8
When we toured the country we saw that gun violence prevention isn’t a partisan issue. Because no one wants innocent lives lost.

Case in point: 97% of Americans support for universal background checks. Apple pie? That polls at just 95%. thehill.com/blogs/blog-bri…
If 97% of Americans agree on something, then it shouldn't matter if your representative is a Republican or a Democrat – they should be fighting for #HR8, and we need to make sure they do.

Everyone should be disturbed by the leader of the School Safety Commission (which opened following the shooting at MSD) going on NRATV.

This is supposed to be a non-partisan commission that looks at safety; it’s goal is supposed to be protecting students, not selling more guns.
Not to mention school safety only protects kids from bullets coming from inside our schools, not outside. Where is the commission on community safety?

Seems to me our politians only care when kids from higher socioeconomic statuses get shot.
Unsurprisingly the NRA also funds Sherriffs political campaigns. The undermining of our democracy and the arming of criminals everyone, bought to you by the NRA.

THREAD: Arming teachers does just about as much as thoughts and prayers to reduce gun violence.

That does 2 things
1. Puts students in danger
2. Sells more guns, promoting the NRA’s deadly agenda.
According to research my Sheldon Greenberg a former LEO and current Johns Hopkins University Education professor, “Whether teachers could use their firearm effectively in an active shooter situation is, said Greenberg, a “crapshoot.”’citylab.com/life/2018/03/w…
For anyone that wants to read the entire study you can read it here

There are dozens of assumptions we make when talking about arming teachers compared to LEOs

PLEASE RT: I want to say something about recent matters involving West Yorkshire Police, Norfolk Constabulary and me #transgender #harassment

On 2 October 2018 I attended the HQ of Norfolk Constabulary to give a statement in connection with allegations of harassment (1)
I spent 5 hours providing a statement and evidence in connection with the well publicised allegations made by me to the Police concerning #transphobia. Norfolk Constabulary then liaised with West Yorkshire Police to decide how best to deal with this matter (2) #transgender
Following discussions between West Yorkshire Police and me I expressed my view that my preference was for the Police to take proportionate and swift action to make clear that #transgender #harassment was unacceptable. I made clear my preference was for a harassment warning (3)

One of the world's most remarkable ruined places is the sunken city of Thonis-Heracleion.

Once a thriving hub of the ancient world, the city was devastated by a series of environmental disasters, & now lies 6.5km off the coast in the blue waters of the Egyptian sea.
The story of its discovery began in 1933, when an RAF pilot flying off the coast of Alexandria reported a strange sight in the water.

He claimed to have seen massive ruined structures below the waves: buildings, squares & streets, a whole city lost beneath the ocean.
Divers set out to explore the spot, but they were unable to learn much or corroborate the sighting in the silty water of the Egyptian coast.

They found something, though: an enormous head of stone, larger than life, thought to be part of a statue depicting Alexander the Great.

TWITTER INTERVIEW: Here are answers to many of your questions about my run for Illinois Attorney General. I'm going to type this out one by one, so check this thread for questions and answers.
Q1/ What's it like being a first-time candidate running for office in Illinois?
A: It's exciting. I love meeting people and learning about what matters to them. So many people in this state feel despair about the direction this country and state are taking. I feel like we're creating a movement for change that can take action on their behalf. [cont]
