Guys we got a lot going on political wise now but this one is one issue that should have been cut and dry and done.
Call your rep ASAP so they don’t forget to do this. Probably mention this would be the easiest legislation they would ever pass and get done
guys this is happening tomorrow and this looks like once it’s gone it will be a bitch and a half to get back CALL YOUR SENATORS PLEASE
Reblog the hell out of this please
Hey I wanted to add onto this if you don’t mind.
Net Neutrality will NOT be gutted tomorrow! What’s happening is the FCC’s repeal will be entering the Federal Register, and after that the repeal will not go into place for another 60 days.
We have until April to save Net Neutrality. CALL YOUR REPS. FIGHT LIKE HELL.
Concept sketch of Kayla’s armour. Unlike Demauria’s, Kayla’s armour is meant to be very much metal/plate type for electric magic conductivity. The only thing NOT metal is that dress underneath the plating, much to Terra’s strong chagrin (she no like the dresses, especially if she’s the one designing battle gear, Kayla is a stubborn commissioner though).
This may totally break the “Fallen Slayer Knights look scary” rule/aesthetic in a way that I don’t like, but this is so fitting to Kayla’s damn personality that I can’t decide whether to be mad or impressed at the results lmao. Now all’s left is to draw a concept of Anne’s armour next.
My brain kept going “why does her helmet shape feel so familiar and protagonist-like?” then I realized
Survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting announce the ‘March For Our Lives’ on March 24 in support of gun control
‘‘… Not one more. We cannot allow one more child to be shot at school. We cannot allow one more teacher to make a choice to jump in front of a firing assault rifle to save the lives of students. We cannot allow one more family to wait for a call or text that never comes. Our schools are unsafe. Our children and teachers are dying. We must make it our top priority to save these lives…’’
This is so hopeful.
I hate why this is happening, but I’m so proud of them.
many districts have also said they would allow children to protest for 17 minutes during their lunch period, and many more have locked gates on campus to prevent kids from attempting to leave.
these organized protests will come at great personal cost to these kids, we need to realize that.
I think I just had a in-the-moment fever dream from it being so late, cause I swear I saw a Dragon Booster / RWBY crossover fanfiction… excuse me while my brain stumbles at the shock
A Florida teenager who survived the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High in Parkland, Florida, issued a rousing call to action at a rally against gun violence.
Emma Gonzalez declared that the shooting at her school should be “the last mass shooting.”
And she responded directly to Trump’s tweet, which blamed students at the school for not reporting on the shooter’s behavior before the event.
“We did,” Gonzalez said, “time and time again, since he was in middle school.”
“We need to pay attention to the fact that this isn’t just a mental health issue,” she continued. “He wouldn’t have harmed that many students with a knife.”
“How about we stop blaming the victims for something that was the shooter’s fault?” she demanded, and called out those who do deserve to shoulder that blame.
“[The people] who let him buy the guns in the first place. Those at the gun shows. The people who encouraged him to buy accessories for his guns to make them fully automatic. The people who didn’t take them away from him when they knew that he expressed homicidal tendencies. And I am not talking about the FBI. I am talking about the people that he lived with, I’m talking about the neighbors who saw him outside holding guns.”
And Gonzalez again did not let Trump’s responsibility go unremarked upon
“If the president wants to come up to me and tell me to my face that it was a terrible tragedy, and how it should never have happened, and maintain telling us that nothing is going to be done about it, I’m going to happily ask him I’m going to happily ask him how much money he received from the National Rifle Association.”
Gonzalez then called attention to the $30 million spent by the NRA in support of Trump in the 2016 presidential election, and how that translates onto each life lost to gun violence.
“That comes out to being $5800. Is that how much these people are worth to you, Trump?” She asked.
“To every politician who has taken donations from the NRA: Shame on you!”
The crowd erupted into a loud chant, echoing her cry: “Shame on you!”
Emma Gonzalez and her Florida community are not allowing Trump, the Republican Party, or the NRA to intimidate them into silence. They are speaking up to defend their families, and shaming those who enable this epidemic of violence.
