RT @girlscoutsswtx: Last week, Girl Scouts of the USA posthumously bestowed upon Amerie Jo Garza, 10, of Uvalde, Texas, one of the highest honors in Girl Scouting: the Bronze Cross. The Bronze Cross is awarded for saving or attempting to save life at the risk of the Girl Scout’s own life. 1/3 https://t.co/bFjz0I4awa https://twitter.com/claystorm/status/1531826249563267074
RT @girlscoutsswtx: On May 24, Amerie did all she could to save the lives of her classmates and teachers. It was our honor as Amerie’s council to present the Bronze Cross to her family, and Girl Scouts will continue to pay tribute at her funeral services today with a Presentation of Colors. 2/3 https://twitter.com/claystorm/status/1531826259516325888

I don't think that people sufficiently appreciate how cool it is that, 150 years after Victoria Woodhull was the first woman to run for President of the U.S., 38 years after Geraldine Ferraro was the first woman to be major party candidate for Vice President, Kamala Harris became and is now the first and only woman to achieve election to a national office by votes cast in all 50 states.

Nope, that’s why I say the right time to talk about gun control has passed, because there is no time left, it’s now or never.
Here are the gun violence stats over the last 72-hours. This just gets overwhelming. Trying to stay up to date but this makes me so sad. 😢 😢 😢
No, Harris isn't President (though she may be in the future). Yes, Hillary Clinton won the Presidential nomination and a majority of votes in the election. Yes, many other countries have been led by women Presidents and Premiers.
But Kamala Harris is the first woman to hold a nationwide elected office in the United States, and that's still worth celebrating.
I don't want to leave out that she's also both the first African-American and Asian-American in that office as well.
It was only one victim short of being considered another mass shooting, so technically I guess we aren’t supposed to count it among the others, but what the hell, I will anyway.

Fire then prosecute them. Police used to be called "public servants". Those days are gone.
@EVEPR sounds delicious. Makes my fruit salad and tuna sandwich look bad. It was good though.

I feel it’s unfair to make a post like this unless you’ve made enough for everybody
BOROWITZ: The authors of the 2nd Amendment didn’t anticipate that someday there would be horrible instruments of destruction like assault weapons and Mitch McConnell. #politicalhumor
All I’m asking is that we institute the same level of background checks for gun buyers intent on deadly violence to the background checks I have to undergo as a blood donor trying to save lives. #Uvalde #GunViolence
