This weekend, Congresswoman Boebert said, "I'm tired of this separation of church and state junk that's not in the Constitution.” Maybe this is a controversial opinion with Republicans but I believe members of congress should know what the constitution says. https://t.co/Id4RZYXwZR — PolitiTweet.org

This year more children have been shot and killed in the U.S. this year than police while on duty. Gun violence is so bad in our country it is literally more dangerous to be a kid than a cop. — PolitiTweet.org

Unless we get our act together more and trump says the election wasn’t stolen the next insurrection is a matter of when- not if. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

Not worried? Open a history book- an unsuccessful insurrection is typically only the first. Millions have been told for years guns are for overthrowing a tyrannical gov and now millions have bought guns and believe the 2020 election was rigged because of Trumps lies. — PolitiTweet.org

Ive had many conversations over the past month with members and staffers in congress. I truly do not think most understand at all how much danger they are still in and how likely it is there will be another January 6th. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

What worries me even more is who agrees with them but wasn’t there and is still at a high level in the intel community and military. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

Does it not freak anyone else out how many of the insurrectionists had top secret clearances and were either current or former military and law enforcement? — PolitiTweet.org

The US not only has high levels of gun violence we also have an major problem with with the rise of terror groups like the proud boys, National Socialist Movement and the Oath Keepers. Other countries should put out warnings to their citizens to not come here it’s not safe here — PolitiTweet.org

For more info on how terrorist groups recruit this report from the un may provide some insights into how the proud boys et al are using the online alt right pipeline to recruit at risk young men https://t.co/NuBGE8yrRc — PolitiTweet.org

The vast majority of mass shooters are men. We can’t talk about mass shootings with out talking about patriarchy. — PolitiTweet.org

I could have written this a lot better but there’s no edit button and sometimes you just start and keep going. Maybe I’ll rewrite this to be better. — PolitiTweet.org

Sorry for being all over the place but that’s what can happen when you just post something in an impromptu way. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

I didn’t think I was going to write a thread on the connection between patriarchy and terrorism in the US but here we are 🤷‍♂️ Curious to hear what people think- I’m no expert so take everything with a gain of salt. I’m open to changing my mind if confronted with better info. — PolitiTweet.org

Let me be clear men aren’t actually starving because they can’t feed themselves because they can’t cook. Many have a woman (most the time) who will cook for them or they go out or microwave stuff. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

Add selling 100,000,000 more guns and you just raised both the number of people who want to and can kill someone a ton. We just raised their intent via online radicalization and ability via easy access to guns. The result would be a major rise in mass shooting terror attacks. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

The pandemic super charged all these insecurities and made terrorist recruitment even easier with more people being online. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

These fears then reinforce themselves over and over with the greatest being exclusion from the group fearing that would mean they are in fact weak and unmanly. It’s a horrifyingly effective tactic used by terrorist groups globally and it’s being used right now in the US — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

Importantly these groups often exert even more control over these men and reinforce the insecurities of weakness and not being “manly” by bullying each other and some groups even go so far to tell the men to not masterbate or have sex at all. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

For many this prevents platonic and romantic connections resulting in a loss of meaning and connection. Which is then weaponized by terroirs groups like the proud boys to give these young men community, power, belonging and importantly for the group an enemy-feminists libs et al — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

These patriarchal norms that take important ways people find meaning like cooking and having community- which many many don’t have because they are emotionally illiterate because they don’t want to look weak. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

I’m not perfect but growing up having parents who both cooked (even though my mom did way more being home more) seeing my dad cook and bake plus my mom encouraging me to cook with her had a major positive impact on my life that far to few guys have the privilege of. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

We need to do a better job as a society raising men and not 6 foot emotionally stunted, filthy babies who are not functional adults. Who’s own self hatred and insecurity are reinforced by patriarchal norms they practice prevent them from being an actual adult. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

And like with everything there’s nuance to everything and many things that enable this. But even if a women can’t cook or clean it rarely falls on the men as much as it does to pick up the slack. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

No not all men are like this but far to many are. It’s on guys to call each other in an fix this ourselves and not put this burden on the women in our lives who already have to do so much and go through so much as is. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

And as if that wasn’t enough- the gender roles and norms many of us a have taken on to be a cis male or female reinforces these norms and makes us accept them passively as just the way things are so guys rarely call each other out and then expect women to do everything. — PolitiTweet.org
