@GovMikeHuckabee
, thank you for this ridiculous point and truly silly comparison. A couple of points. A skateboard could not have made it through 3 stories of my daughters school and murdered her the way an AR 15 did.
(2,3) However, if a skateboard did, I would be free to sue and hold the skateboard manufacturers accountable. Because of PLCAA, I cannot do so with gun manufacturers. Are you for repealing PLCAA and giving me that ability?
(3,3) Lastly, the operator of the skateboard chose how they used it and appropriate safety equipment ahead of time. My daughter did not choose to be shot and considering the violent and surprise nature of the attack had no chance of protection. Are you for providing kids armor?

(1,3) On 9/10/19 @tedcruz to me regarding gun violence:

"The two sides believe the worst of each other. I don't think either of those caricatures are true."

9/18/19 Ted Cruz on @ThisWeekABC "[Democrats] want...to take away your health insurance and...your guns."
(2,3) When @Alyssa_Milano, @DadoftheDecade and I met with @SenTedCruz, we had a genuine conversation. Clearly he did not mean what he said about the way we talk to and about each other. We tried. Sadly, he is who he is.
(3,3) Senator, just as you are not going to Mexico to collect on a wall that is not getting built, I am not trying to take away guns. I was hoping for a genuine conversation with you. Clearly, you are not interested.

(1,6) One of the biggest @NRA lies is the "Slippery Slope" argument. They have used this argument to keep gun safety legislation from being passed. In fact, the Current Occupant Of The White House uses this argument. IT IS A LIE.
(2,6) We have been on a slippery slope for years of loosening gun laws. We see that with open carry. This photo with @MomsDemand is an example of the slippery slope. Some may call this open carry, I call this Open intimidation allowed by law.
(3,6) How do we know good guys from bad guys. We don't and that is why we need background checks and ERPO's. Rather than agreeing on basic things like this, you have @GregAbbott_TX furthering the slippery slope by enacting laws today that only weaken gun laws in TX.

School children murdered at behest of the British elite 

In the early months of 2003, just prior to the illegal invasion of Iraq, and working in conjunction with a London-based freelance journalist, who had thoroughly double-checked exposures published by the Scottish 'Sunday
Herald' newspaper. Details of a child-sex ring linked to senior ministers within the Blair government. Initial published findings, stemming from discrete leaks from a secret list provided by the American FBI to the 'Sunday Times' newspaper, and concomitantly discovered that Tony
Blair had issued a gagging order to suppress all further discussion of a scandal that would most certainly have brought a swift end to his administration and made Britain's collusion in the destruction of Iraq impossible.

School boards in ON are bound by s. 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms ("Charter") & by s. 1 of the Ontario Human Rights Code ("Code"). There are differences in wording comparing the Charter & the Code. For example, the Charter only says "sex" while the Code ... /1
includes the following in addition to sex: sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, marital status & family status. Let me explain the difference as I would when teaching high school law & history which I've taught. Sex in the Charter includes the terms ... /2

Thank you for everyone- our presenters, volunteers, sponsors, AV team, social team- to every person who gave time and made effort to make #AWSCommunity day in Melbourne possible. We had over 1,700 registrations. I wanted to share a few reflections- 1
Representation matters. As lead organizer, I worked to honor and provide a platform for many people to share their work, their journeys. We had scholarships for community leaders and builders from WA, NT, QLD, NSW and NZ. And heroes and UG leaders from APAC- all got the mic 2
Being intentional on how we welcome others matters. To build community we have to demonstrate respect and openness for folks feel welcome at the table. Sometimes that means we have to be building a new table. 3

#Höcke habe ein "linkes Wirtschafts- und Sozialprofil", Höcke sei "linksnational und kollektivistisch unterwegs" - Ein bisschen Nachhilfe in Sachen Ideologiegeschichte für @ulfposh und @christiansoeder, weil diese erschreckende Analyseunfähigkeit ein großes Problem ist (Thread)
Höcke steht in der ideologiegeschichtlichen Traditionslinie eines völkischen "Antikapitalismus", also eines (vermeintlichen) Antikapitalismus von rechts. Dieser "Antikapitalismus" ist aber weder links noch stellt er eine materialistische Kritik der Verhältnisse dar (1)
Er ist viel mehr eine banale Kommunikationsstrategie, andere Wähler*innen-Gruppen anzusprechen, er ist und war - historisch - vor allem aber ein weiteres Ideologiegerüst, Antisemitismus salonfähig zu machen bzw. dessen Basis zu verbreitern (2)

Raspoutine : un thread 🔥
Grégoire (en russe Grigorii) Raspoutine naît en 1869 dans un village perdu de Sibérie (voir sur la carte).
Il a un frère aîné, Michel, avec qui il fait les 400 coups, mais un jour les deux garçons tombent dans une rivière glacée et attrapent une grave pneumonie
Michel meurt, et Grégoire, que l’on croyait perdu aussi, se réveille finalement miraculeusement : la Sainte Vierge lui serait apparue pour lui dire de guérir. Grande émotion au village !

Doing a #stories and Q&A session with @consonanceng, an amazing community of designers and engineers in Nigeria and across Africa.

Here’s a thread on how I got into design and building products👇 Feel free to ask questions 🙏

#ConsonanceIsOne
I got into programming late. My first experience with it was in high school, AP Computer Science. Funny enough, it made me feel discouraged about programming. 😫
The class was confusing. I had a hard time grasping what classes and objects were. Needless to say, I got a 2 out of 5 on the exam 😬
