WATCH: Students from Florida's West Boca High School have walked out of their classes, heading towards Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, as part of a call-to-action by students in the area after the mass shooting last week that killed 17 people https://t.co/JoGj3r547epic.twitter.com/yqeNwj9PVM
Change is afoot, students are using their voices to right a wrong, Mueller is shaking Washington to its core, and Black Panther is quickly becoming a cultural event for the ages.
Florida House votes down motion to take up weapons ban. I hope those students keep protesting and organize voters to kick the GOP out of the Florida legislature.
Reminder: Jack Kingston was in Russia in December of 2016 representing Trump, so, no, it doesn’t surprise me that he’s attacking the Parkland students who survived the shooting. Putin probably has stuff on him. But this is out of control. #TrumpColludedhttps://t.co/8eLiYMFOA9
.@realDonaldTrump-Wanted to let you know #TrumpColluded is trending again thanks to the American patriots in #TheResistance. Unlike you, we don’t need Russia’s help. Also, you need to stop colluding with Putin & implement Russian sanctions NOW! Everyone who retweets this agrees.
I never thought she’d say yes, but asked anyway. She was kind + giving. A goddess. We began a journey together that I’ll never forget.

Students at Fort Lauderdale High School stage a walkout to protest gun violence. “I need someone to explain to me how any of us are supposed to feel safe…when we are in a place that, at any moment, someone can walk in and get shot.” https://t.co/cW5v8E4E7ppic.twitter.com/Y7b0mCZ9Bk
Another of the many honest women (and men) in politics. No flip flopping on gun laws or on immigration to further her career. Focuses on economic issues that unite Americans.
Nope and all the Nopes in Nopesland. “I’m old enough to remember” as the saying goes, her fingerprints all over bringing down support for the TPP without offering much in the way of viable alternatives and her fake feud with President Obama because he called her by her first name; among other things.
I didn’t like the Al Franken thing either. And yes, she is from upstate NY where the whole zone is red and people are in love with their guns. But remember that ANY democrat (from moderate to Bernie/Socialist/progressive) is better than any of the wacos from the right. Any and all of them.
Quick report from #PuertoRico: Punta Santiago remains without power 5 months later. Schools close at 1130am because they cannot feed the students. #ChefsForPuertoRico will continue to deliver food and will work on bringing food to schools so they can stay open. @WCKitchenpic.twitter.com/dVasVBDksu
By charging a lawyer today, Bob Mueller sends a message to every lawyer involved in this probe, in and out of government, that false statements and obstruction will be prosecuted.
We have a president who conducts himself like a Waco. And, decent, thoughtful people must reply to the nonsense he writes because, after all, he has a long list of imbeciles who believe every lie he tweets.
Probably the same guy who would brag about sexual assault with the Access Hollywood cameras rolling https://t.co/32TmcskqbT
A woman I don’t know and, to the best of my knowledge, never met, is on the FRONT PAGE of the Fake News Washington Post saying I kissed her (for two minutes yet) in the lobby of Trump Tower 12 years ago. Never happened! Who would do this in a public space with live security……
If by “tough”, you mean praising Putin, denying Russian involvement in our election, and refusing to impose the sanctions Congress passed, then you are one tough customer. Otherwise, the word you are looking for is “weak.” https://t.co/YBQQh5KKxc
It never ceases to amaze me how successful you have been making yourself so small, petty, and banal with your tweets. Your insecurity is well deserved, as is your concern over Russia investigation. Thomas Paine was right when he said, "These are the times that try men's souls." https://t.co/EfaDBlYejF

Sadly for the families mourning the loss of their children from the shooting in Florida trump did nothing after the Vegas and Texas mass shootings. Today trump wants to ban bump stocks. That had nothing to do with the Florida shooting

With Douglas students in the gallery Tuesday, the Florida House voted down a motion to take up a ban on assault weapons such as the AR-15 used by Nikolas Cruz when he killed 17 people at the school on Valentine's Day. The final vote was 36-71. https://t.co/ZxLzoTYRd0
Hey folks, I’ve been lurking since Friday when we got to our daughter’s. As you know, I can’t comment on my iPad. Finally got my computer open. Have been wanting to share this since Sunday.
As some of you know, since right after the election we have formed a group of (mostly) women in the Knoxville area. We call ourselves the Knox Blue Dots. (Blue dot in a red area) For the past four Sundays, a group has been meeting at a local restaurant to write post cards. We’ve written for Connor Lamb and for a woman who is running in a special election in TN14. We’ve always had around 15 people. This past week, we combined with Moms for Gun Sense to write to our state legislatures about gun safety/reform. Letters will be delivered by some in Mom’s Sense in a couple of weeks. There was lots of advertising getting the word out. 95 people showed up!!! Yes, 95 people!!!!!!!!!!! 139 letters written. Lots of new folks joining Knox Blue Dots and or Mom’s Gun Sense. WOW!
That, on top of these kids in FL leading the way and doing what PO said over and over and over: Be the Change. Even with the heartbreak of the FL shooting, I have more HOPE than I’ve had in a long time. That and, of course, Mueller coming through.
Twitter accounts suspected of links to Russia have turned their attention to the contentious issue of US gun control in the wake of the mass shooting in Florida, researchers suggest.
Two companies which track online disinformation have found that bots began tweeting about the Parkland shooting shortly after the tragedy.
It included tweets about the mental health of suspect Nikolas Cruz.
Gun control is one of the most divisive issues in America.
Experts from New Knowledge – which tracks disinformation campaigns – said that suspected Russian bots are increasingly picking up on controversial issues.
“The bots focus on anything that is divisive for Americans – almost systematically,” Jonathon Morgan, chief executive of New Knowledge told the New York Times.
UPDATE: Fake story smearing survivor of Parkland massacre as an FBI plant has been shared almost 11K times on Facebook. Has 37K total engagements (Likes, comments, shares) https://t.co/7VuGBOJXBA
Facebook should be ashamed of themselves. I relish the day they get competition. I am bailing on these traitors. WHERE IS BLACK TWITTER? He was starting his own social media company.

George and Amal, I couldn’t agree with you more. I am joining forces with you and will match your $500,000 donation to ‘March For Our Lives.’ These inspiring young people remind me of the Freedom Riders of the 60s who also said we’ve had ENOUGH and our voices will be heard.
They just announced this donation from “The @Oprah Winfrey” on Bus 1 of the #NeverAgain MSD caravan— Huge cheers, shouts of “omg”, big smiles on board right now. Almost half way through the trip to Tallahassee. https://t.co/iHnrUql3lF

Russian threat to our upcoming elections: do something! Do anything. Impose sanctions overwhelmingly approved by even this dysfunctional congress. Are you simply unfit, without the necessary nerve or do they have something on you? We were attacked!

Hopefully, you & your patriotic colleagues will soon replace @RandPaul & @SenateMajLdr thereby providing Kentuckians with compassionate leadership rather than greedy, traitorous FAIL.
The bait? An $18 billion fund for fixing the NPS’s massive maintenance backlog. The switch? It’d be paid for by deregulating oil and gas extraction on public lands, firing NPS employees, and empowering Zinke to sell off any public lands he wishes. https://t.co/bry71Eg9ii

So proud of my fellow Knoxvillians. This on top of the 95 women we had turnout Sunday. Also saw on Facebook there’s a number of students are many of our high schools organizing to do the #MarchforLife on March 24.
Maybe the focus cam finally be on how to cause serious economic pain to the #WeaponsProfiteers. Until that happens, nothing will change, absolutely nothing …..

Wow.
My son had to remind me the words are from Bowie’s song “Changes.” Perfect that somebody found them and used them relating to today’s children.
Change is afoot, students are using their voices to right a wrong, Mueller is shaking Washington to its core, and Black Panther is quickly becoming a cultural event for the ages.
We know they are scared (GOP, NRA, Orange Turd, etc.,) because they are NOW attacking these children and they say, B.S.!!!!!
They need to bring some high school students with them and GET THEM Registered!

ABSOLUTELY SAME.
NOPELANDIA.
i know….however the article mentions that she has met with President Obama…i would like to have been a fly on the wall for that meeting
I am with you purpleshoesla. All these holier than thou purity progressives, in my opinion, contributed to the election of Trump.
not only no but Heck No!
understand…Pres Obama probably will not endorse in the primary…but if she wins he would support her
Painter is on a tear against Gillibrand and these remarks are what he’s been grousing about. I guess this is his pony.
hmmmm…why against Gilibrand
I haven’t seen it but I think he believes she’s a phony and opportunist because she’s changed her position on gun control and immigration.
hmmmm….
She is a phony. I especially did not like her leading role in demonizing Al Frankin.
I didn’t like the Al Franken thing either. And yes, she is from upstate NY where the whole zone is red and people are in love with their guns. But remember that ANY democrat (from moderate to Bernie/Socialist/progressive) is better than any of the wacos from the right. Any and all of them.
If she is the nominee of the Democratic Party, I will absolutely vote for her.
I’m not sure but that may be the root of Painter’s argument.
This is where we are.
We have a president who conducts himself like a Waco. And, decent, thoughtful people must reply to the nonsense he writes because, after all, he has a long list of imbeciles who believe every lie he tweets.
Has he just awaken from hibernation?
It will be turned into something to suppress the votes of minority communities.

Don’t be fooled; this amounts to another distraction and nothing will happen anyway.The ban on assault weapons altogether is what is needed.
Smooth Operator.
They should be so ashamed, but if they actually had shame they wouldn’t have voted it down. It is all so sickening.
Vote ALL those bastards out of office….
Exactly, Joao! That is the only language they understand. They have no moral conscience.

I mean: KEN-FREAKIN-TUCKY.
I spell FREAKIN differently, but yeah.
LOLz
OMG, this is revolting.
Sometimes life comes at you fast. Another nasty, lying mofo has bitten the dust.
Well, well.
Somebody has just taken his med and now sees the light.
Whether we are Republicans or Democrats, we must now focus on getting a real President who wasn’t elected by Russia.
Just crushing.
Tears.
Touching story if true.
Nothing to see here. The cannot be any ethics concerns because Low Energy Ben is following his boss’s example.
“There cannot be”
