We want #GunControlNOW
@GOP/@NRA talking point: “Gun control doesn’t work”

Except it does in Canada, Australia, Israel, UK, EU, Norway, Iceland, Japan…

The statistics don’t lie.

The US has a sick gun culture—We are literally being held hostage to a GOP Congress & a gun lobby org.

#GunControlNOW

This is heart wrenching.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
NOW is the time to talk about it.

Illinois ratified the ERA in June, leaving just One state needed to change constitutional hurdles to ratification.

The 14th & 19th aren’t enough.

The ERA ensures equal rights regardless of gender, was passed in 1974 - 44 years ago. Why is this still even a thing?

#RatifyERA
The ERA is also an economic issue. It’s proven that when women earn the same as their male colleagues it stimulates the economy.
Gender equality will boost the economy over $4.3 trillion in a decade.
Reminder: the GOP #TaxScam will cost $1.9 trillion in the same time.

#RatifyERA
73% believe the #ERA is part of the Constitution. It’s not.

It was passed in 1974 but 44 years later it still hasn’t been ratified.

Even guns have a constitutional amendment.

The only guarantee women have in the Constitution is the 19th amendment-The right to vote.

President Obama left over 100 open fed judicial seats vacant—bc McConnell blocked and refused to hold confirm hearings on federal judges.

In July, Trump signed an EO to end the competitive selection process for judges. This makes them political appointees who he can fire at will
In order to rush his judge noms thru, Trump is bypassing judicial ratings processes by ABA before making his noms. His predecessors went thru the screening process 1st & nixed judges not qualified by ABA

Only 2 judges from 1989—2016 were rated not qualified compared to Trump’s 6
“We’ve appointed a record number of judges who will defend our constitution…And we’re putting on to the bench a record number of judges. And in a short period of time, we are going to have probably the all-time record for the appointment of judges.”—Trump

1/ The magnitude of CEO turnover is hard to imagine if you don’t focus on CPG. Find an industry where leadership turnover is worse.
wsj.com/articles/packa…
2/ Almost no CEOs in public CPG companies have clout. They are almost never the founders, often aren’t respected by the street. Usually suits that have never created anything, never driven real positive change.
3/ They are usually lifelong company people that are really really good at running companies that are dying- and slowing their death.

@Susan_Hennessey is right to call this insanity. “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results.”
Haberman & @nytimes destructively & inanely engaged in both-sides-ism in 2016, and learned nothing. The inane is now insane.
2/ Exhibit B from the @Nytimes insanity this week is publishing that anonymous op-ed, which was pure self-serving propaganda to reassure GOP elites to stay loyal. Obviously anyone actually trying to secretly control Trump would never publish such drivel.
3/Here’s my earlier thread on the anonymous op-ed. I also think it’s possible the writer had a different agenda, more like Omarosa’s. Write op-ed, get fired, reveal your identity, pretend to be a hero, get book deal.
@nytimes, you got played.

Good morning to all educators committed to reconsidering "behavior issues" and rebranding them as opportunities to invite someone in to conversation and connection. These are the moments for us to line up actions with all the things we say we believe.
As folks are designing behavior policies, codes of conduct, and expectations this time of year, it is especially important to remember the end goal and desired tone or flavor you want a classroom or school to have.
Focus too much on outcomes you do NOT want, and that's exactly what you're going to get. Children want to be happy. They are wired to love.

Funny how the "BREAKING NEWS" cycle seem to be stuck on a loop, isn't it?

Trump Tower is back in the spotlight, which means we're about 10 days away from the Seychelles meeting being back in the news. Neither story has new developments or information, mind you... but details.
What's that saying about insanity again?

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results," ... that about sums up the state of (most) of the MSM/Corporate media these days:

Insane and NOT a friend to those looking for truth.
The only way through this (dis)information war is to hone your own judgement and discernment. Become your own expert. That way you can easily identify these "feedback loops" of long debunked "breaking news" stories for what they are: propaganda from the mouth of a dying beast.

1. The Achilles heel of Socialism is it removes the motivation to succeed. There is no individual success in Socialism.

A country's wealth can be summed as an aggregate of individual productivity. Real people producing real things. A by-product of productivity is pride.
2. Under Socialism, innovation and productivity plummets. Why should anyone work harder than the next guy? We're all equal, right?

Pride of the people also fades. You can see it in the trash laden streets of Venezuela.

This isn't laziness. It's a lack of pride.
3. Yes, their people are hungry, but if you've got nothing else to do you can bend over and pick up a piece of trash, right?

Unless you don't care.

1. "The red white (privilege) and the blue"
How does a political entity ensure continued dominance over a state, a country and a people? Is it even possible in a country where freedom of speech and gun possession are enshrined within the constitution? That was my question to self
2. This is really what got the rusty neurons to start firing again: Why is CA so hell bent upon time dependent self destruction? Why do its people support policies that seem to be products of a drug addled, febrile and psychotic brain? Even NYT admits it.
3. The answer to this lies in Third wold politics: if you have ever lived in one, you know a self evident fact: The majority of votes come from the most uninformed. These are people who have been promised moon rocks, diamonds and sirloin, for free. They settle for gravel and spam
