How convenient that the only freshmen representatives in Congress that are being admonished to "listen and learn" all happen to be women. What an extraordinary coincidence.
I just counted at least 25 men who are freshmen in Congress and have no previous experience in elected office, and weirdly, none of them--as far as I can tell--have been told they need to "listen and learn".
There may be more. I admittedly blacked out from rage after the 25th man I counted.

The progressive movement has managed to score numerous big wins with one arm tied behind our back. I can't imagine the kind of success we could have in dismantling capitalism, white supremacy, patriarchy, etc. if only we could all put our petty bullshit aside and work together.
It's like everyone needs resolution to their individual grudges they've held for whatever reason, and not only do we all refuse to yield until those grudges are ameliorated but we're not really sure what it would take to ameliorate them. Just angry and swinging into the darkness.
Meanwhile, the conservative movement is all: "Oh, we have the same opponents? Cool, I hate you, but they don't need to know that come election time. Whatever it takes to win."

I just think @HowardSchultz is too emotional to lead. I have no problem with a man running for president, I just happen to not want this man to run. Is he likable enough to be elected? Not so sure. He needs to calm down and smile more.
I think it's interesting what @HowardSchultz has done with this coffee company of his--I forget the name--but we need someone in office who can relate to people. Howard is kinda uptight and shrill. I want to have a beer with my president, not a cappuccino.
I mean, all @HowardSchultz has ever done is sell beverages. Why are we turning the presidential election into a social experiment? I swear that I don't care that he's a man. I hire men all the time. I have binders full of men.

It’s long past time for #Congress to finally address #GunViolence by updating the background checks law to require background checks for all gun sales – helping keep guns out of the wrong hands. #UpdateBackgroundChecks #FixNICS #PassHR8 #EnoughIsEnough
Background checks are one of the most effective tools to keep guns out of the wrong hands #UpdateBackgroundChecks #PassHR8 /2
Background checks save lives. They are the foundation of any effective effort to reduce gun violence and are associated with lower rates of gun murders, suicides and gun trafficking in states that require them for all gun sales #UpdateBackgroundChecks /3

Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus.

Women blame themselves, and other women, for being sexually assaulted because the only thing worse than being a victim is realizing it could happen (again) and we’re utterly powerless to stop it. Telling ourselves “I do everything right, so this can’t happen to me” is a talisman.
Women are sexually assaulted regardless of how they look.

Politicians used to avoid creating power because once created, it can be used by their opponents. First clue something is super wrong: They suddenly don't care. Every #POTUS from now on will have #SpecialCouncel. Goal: Destruction of public confidence in elected governance.
That's crushed tight in a single Tweet, so let's dig in a little. First consider deeply:
One of the biggest caps on the expansion of power in our history has been the goose/gander problem of politics. "If I grant myself this power, the other side will also have this power." Trying to create one-sided political power could be considered the holy grail of US politics.

If you, like me, cannot point to a single thing @RepFrenchHill has done for the benefit of his constituents in #AR2 then you owe it to yourself and everyone else in the seven county area to vote for @clarketucker this November. #arpx #Vote #Midterms2018
.@RepFrenchHill has voted to end coverage for pre-existing conditions. He doesn't care whether or not you can afford to see a doctor, or even if your health insurance will cover a visit. He does not care about #Arkansans #AR2 #ByeFrench #VoteThemOut #arpx
.@RepFrenchHill supports @realDonaldTrump #ConcentrationCamps for migrant children, infants, and toddlers. He refuses to speak up about these egregious #HumanRights violations. #Arkansas deserves a better, more humane representative in #AR2 - @clarketucker is that person! #Vote

A Thread for Men: When your #woman is #emotional, #crying or #stressed out, do not hold it against her. One of the lies of #feminism is that men and women are the same, including that we should process #emotions the same way. Reject the lie. Listen and learn in the posts below.
#Women have much greater #hormonal fluctuations each month than #men do. Simply put, a woman's thought life and #emotions are more prone to high highs, and low lows. This isn't a "design flaw" but rather how #God made a #woman to be in touch with the needs of small #children.
Nothing is more short-sighted as a #man than viewing a #woman as an "overly emotional" or "flawed" version of a man's thought process or #emotions. A woman that does not let her emotions out will become very #passiveaggressive, #depressed or #angry. Your job is to be an #outlet.
