- Students ALL over the country today walked out of school for 17 minutes today in support of gun control and the Parkland 17. A month ago, there was a mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, FL. The survivors have become activists and are not fucking around.

- It's official! Conor Lamb, Democrat, won in a heavy red district and beat out his opponent Rick Saccone. Both NBC News and NYT have called the race for Lamb. The district was +20 for Trump in 2016. GOP is now spinning it and make it seem like Lamb ran as a conservative even though that is not true. GOP is starting to shit the bed because they're scared of what might happen in November.

- It is also rumored that Trump wants to fire Sessions and replace him with Scott Pruitt, per two Republicans in contact with the White House. Pruitt would not have to recuse himself from the investigation unlike Sessions. These conversations CAN be used against Trump by Mueller's team.

BOOKS NOT EULOGIES.
Students.
We see you.
We hear you.
Your pain is our pain.
Your safety… https://t.co/jKiXsoVmjY

My district is currently on spring break but I am heartened by the response across the rest of Florida and in other states. These kids give me hope for big change.

I'm proud of them. Why risk your life going to school for an education that doesn't prepare you for the modern, real world and doesn't guarantee you a job.

ahhhh so excited about the pennsylvania race. https://swingleft.org !!!

I’m gonna March in DC on the 24th. Too much!

If I still lived in DC I would so be there. I'll be with you all in spirit!

i'm so glad i live in a liberal area tbh. i feel bad for these kids that live in places that are saying if u even attempt to walk out of school you'll be disciplined like yikes. they have a right to protest if they want to.

Edited at 2018-03-14 10:18 pm (UTC)

yeah, it's fucked up that students are threatened with disciplinary action for standing up for what they believe in.

It's probably because public schools' funding is often tied to butts in seats. So having students stage a walk out means a loss. Not only that, but they only have so many teaching days and need to get test scores up or risk losing funding. But I'm sure the political atmosphere of a community determines the response to walkouts like this.

count week is always most important tho and that happens in October

yeah, I teach in ohio and they recently changed the laws so that instead of days missed, it goes by hours. kids signed out for an hour for a dentist appointment, even if they return to school, are counted as a tardy. our list of kids getting perfect attendance has declined significantly. parents are furious but it’s out of our hands. our school day ends at 3:45 and even if you sign your kid out at 3:30, it’s considered a tardy, even if that’s when my 4th graders are switching back to home room.

most districts have specific count days that determine funding, and given that these were meant to be fairly short walk outs (a lot of schools specifically did them for 17 minutes), it would be fairly easy for a teacher to take attendance for that class after the walkout was over

Respect to all those kids in America staging there walkout enough is enough as you were LG x

Sis, if you're looking for grammatical accuracy in a Liam Gallagher tweet then you need to look elsewhere.

This has been so incredible. <3

I stayed up till 2 am for the results and walked around like a zombie today. I can only imagine how it's going to be in November lmao.

Leonardo Aguilar was the only one to walk out of his second grade classroom so he joined the highschoolers at Lincoln High in San Jose. @CBSSF #walkout pic.twitter.com/v9SQAAEn4f

The Democrat win last night in PA was amazing. It's a district that went to Trump by 20 pts and is an average of R+11.

Bodes well for a Blue wave in 2018. LET'S GET OUT THE VOTE THIS NOVEMBER.

Idc if he won by a hair. He freaking won in a district that was 20+ in favor of Trump. Lamb did better than even Obama in that district.

I didn't think he'd actually win and he did, and it has given me a glimmer of hope for my district, though the breakdown for the last election was 69% Dumpster Fire and 27% Clinton. It's a very tiny glimmer of hope, given that I live in Pennsyltucky, but it is there. My district (formerly 9, now 13) has something like six Republicans and one Democrat running, though, so I don't foresee an upset.

All these photos got me weepy af. Teenagers using their superpowers of being annoyingly persistent for good.

There is something so pure about their rage that the NRA doesn't know how to counter it.

It's righteous fury. Pure, unadulterated righteous fury from actual innocents. The NRA can't even comprehend that, let alone counter it.

I'm gonna sit in my weepy corner and applaud the hell out of these young badasses.

Right-wing media is being such a collective jerk to them, too. I kind of want to ask them if they really think they're going to get these kids on their side by being dismissive and insulting. Then again, I don't care what they think. Keep being jerks; these kids will see you for what you are, and a few years down the line, you'll be on the trash heap of history.

All of this, tbh.

Connor lamb pulled through because he didn't alienate his constituency and because of his bone structure. Stop overthinking it Dems!!

Edited at 2018-03-14 10:23 pm (UTC)

He does have a great bone structure

Get strong chins to the people!

#BoneStructure2018

Never underestimate the voting power of white soccer moms! They have NO LOYALTY when it comes to bone structures!

them trying to spin that hes a republican is just.....

they really arent prepared for whats coming are they?

nah they aren’t at all. there are more favorable races out there for the Dems than last night. if they can get the right candidates then watch out!

They are having fucking meltdowns. Watch TRILLIONS are gonna be spent on those GOP elections.

It's hilarious how they're trying to play it now like it's not really a loss because he's so moderate and how he'll go against Pelosi in favor of Trump when Trump, Pence and even Trump Jr. were coming to Pittsburgh just to trash him and praise Saccone, and Saccone had an attack ad with literal video of sheep and a voiceover saying Conor Lamb was a Pelosi loving-Liberal-sheep.

lmao!

I wish here in TX Beto could kick Ted Cruz out! Im hoping..and hell yeah ima vote, but I dunno.
WHY CAN'T WE HAVE LEGAL MARIJUANA?! ITS SO FUCKED UP! So many DRUNK DRIVERS IN HOUSTON! But Weed is A PROBLEM!? On 2nd thought...nah, the people of tx do not deserve to be high and drunk while driving...

every republican who won by less than 20 in 2016 should be shook. those under 10 should be packing their bags if they havent already. bye shitheels.

PA18 was a R+11 district and Paul Ryan's district is only R+4.... YOU SCARED YET, PAUL?

isn't he retiring this year anyway? lobbying jobs pay more and he doesn't have to gaf about voters

I'm so happy about Conor Lamb winning since Rick Saccone is a POS. I want Beto O'Rourke to win next.

This made me tear up and I'm not even american.

the press packet is too fucking cute!

And it shows how little kids absorb the world around them. They understand that they need something to document, to give to the press. Obviously the parents helped but the kids are the ones making the movements. It's absolutely breathtaking to me. Makes you pause when you realize just how much the kids know and are paying attention, even when we assume they're not.
