There’s a great FREE summit coming up in LA for mayors and 2 young people from their city to attend a workshop to create:

-a youth council
-youth voter registration
-solutions to solve the issues that affect youth in your city.

More info👇👇👇👇👇
-All mayors are invited
-All flights, food, and hotels are covered

All you have to do is reach out your mayor & ask them to come & bring 2 young people from your city

All the info you need including the link to register is in the QT’d tweet above
*Mayors have to pay their own way because they typically have budgets for travel

*The flight, hotel and food are covered for the youth not mayors.

*There are limted sponsored (free) flights available for youth so apply soon!
Also the website says the deadline is the 9th but it’s now the 12th of July the website is being updated.

The fact that saying #BlackLivesMatter is controversial statement is a testament to the long history of racism and white supremacy in America that lasts to this day.
Today I attended a protest for #RyanTwyman who was unarmed and shot by the police 34 times— Mr. Twyman’s life was stolen by the LA county sheriffs department from his three young children.
It upsets me how many people today think that they would be on the front lines of the civil rights movement if it was currently happening when in reality it still is but they’re not there.

Because ending police brutality is A continuation of the civil rights movement.

If you support the confederacy you hate America.

If you support Nazis you hate America

If you support the KKK you hate America.

If you support killer cops you hate America.

I think guys need to talk about our feelings and mental health way more in an open and honest environment.

Where conversations are had between us rather than at us.

I’m tired of my mental health— as a guy being a talking point and not actually being addressed with other guys.
I would much rather have some of my friends talk to me about their feelings, anxiety or depression then to find them dead one day.
In my opinion part of the problem is that media only talks about mental health after someone— typically a male commits a mass shooting.

When in reality people that are mentally are significantly more likely to be the victims of gun violence including gun suicide.

"But Labour have no policies."

I've heard this statement recently on more than one occasion.

It's time to set the record straight. Welcome to the Labour Party policy megathread.
Before I get started, I want to quickly mention my reasons for writing up this thread. I can only speak for myself, but I've felt that my activism has been too reactionary recently. Responding to whatever story we're being hit with by the media and being distracted because of it.
I've started to consider the effects of this, and I've come to believe that we've lost sight of what a Labour government, under Corbyn, would truly mean for the United Kingdom.

We know getting rid of the Tories is good. But why is replacing them with Corbyn better?

Excited to announce that my second major piece for @AEI has just come out! This one is about aging, mortality.... and the increasingly decrepit state of American political institutions. aei.org/publication/re…
The pithy 60-second video version is below. The title "Baby Boomer's national impact" is a nicely oblique summation of my overall take that boomers have ruined America and we honestly may never recover from the trail of wrecked institutions in their wake.
Seems @FreeBeacon got the jump and has already filed an article covering the piece. Feel like @TPCarney is probably interested as well over at Washington Examiner. freebeacon.com/issues/aei-rep…

Nigeria has launched a new national youth policy, ten years after its last national youth policy was launched office.youthhubafrica.org/nigerian-natio…
There are quite a lot of interesting things we have seen in the new national youth policy, the most interesting will be the youth age definition from 18 - 35 years in the previous policy to 15 - 29 years in the new policy #youth #Policy #YouthPolicyNaija
However, there are lots of other interesting things. The policy in itself is very ambitious for the next five years in terms of why it hopes to achieve, one of such is bursaries to 100k eligible STEM undergrads in 5 years #YouthPolicyNaija

"Youth voter registration in the Keystone State has surged by 16 percentage points since the February shooting, with voters aged 18-29 comprising 61.4 percent of new registrants, an analysis by the Democratic data analytics group TargetSmart concludes. "
pennlive.com/opinion/2018/0…
What's more interesting than the above is the comments after the article. Why do some believe this group of people are more naive, more uneducated who only want free stuff? I do assume some who have registered are also Republican. So they are registering for free stuff also?
I recall my first vote. I was naive, I was educated. And I recall watching men and women I grew up with being as equally naive. I recall the last wave of Nam protests, and how people call them ignorant and unpatriotic.

Sugar daddy au with a twist where Yoongi is a producer just starting out, and while he's happy he took the risk, he's struggling to make ends meet, often having to rely on his friends for help. They really don't mind since it's never anything much, food mostly, and they love him.
But Yoongi's unhappy with it, doesn't like mooching off his friends, so one night when he's been sulky after having to share Hoseok's dinner instead of buying his own again, Hobi's trying to cheer him up and jokes about how Yoongi should just become a sugar baby.
And Yoongi laughs, because that's ridiculous, he doesn't feel comfortable sharing his body for money and honestly would prefer to be the daddy if he had the money to do something like that anyway.
