@breebxtler Fun fact NJ has really tough gun laws and low gun death rates and pretty much all the illegal guns come in from the gun heavy / lax state of VA. Meaning if these laws were federal we wouldn’t have an isssue lol

Member of the press here. There is NO shame in not talking to journos. Any good journalist knows the key to strong stories is relationship building; if you can’t build those relationships & sources’ trust, it’s not because of histrionic protestors. Ur just a bad journalist.

From @TheNation : Nex Benedict's attackers called him a "furry," which OHS students tell me has become a catch-all pejorative for trans kids at Owasso (esp. those w alt style). Nex was not a furry, but this maybe provides insight wrt bullies' motives.

What people dont get abt the Parkland kids is that they arent advocating for one specific policy. Gun reform, mental health, thats all part of it. But the main message is: “We are just kids. We dont have all the answers. We don’t care what party you are— just stop doing NOTHING.”
