She is probably going to kill me for doing this (RIP @Hell_Berta)......but I need to do something for them. I can't sit back and watch them burn themselves out.
I have an emergency that I would like my Twitter Family's #Help with.
I am worried about my friend Jenn and her co workers that run @HarvestHillsYYC.
They have run themselves ragged and need help.

She is probably going to kill me for doing this (RIP @Hell_Berta)......but I need to do something for them. I can't sit back and watch them burn themselves out.
She is at home recovering and her fellow board members and dedicated volunteers have picked up and helped.
But as I said I need everyone's help.
Anyways, to get to the point...My Point is: I need your #Help. #Calgary #YYC
63 #calls for #renthelp, #foodassistance, #utilityhelp. Even #evictionassistance. #Care
When they told me their reason for needing help, I have to admit that there were a few times that I cried right along side them while they talked.
I lost it. My husband and my kidlets just sat and stared at me #crying when my #son asked me what was #wrong.
My son then looked at me and with a serious face said:
"Mom, I love you but hate is a strong word."
I then started to laugh.
He then #asked me what could be done to #help. He asked this because he had #listened in on some of the calls and sat in his chair #stunned at some of the things he was hearing.
Please donate to @HarvestHillsYYC.
They need everyone's help to be able to continue to do what they do everyday.

To me, the most important aspect of the 2018 midterms wasn't even about partisan control, but about democracy and voting rights. That's the real battle.
2/The good news: It's now an issue that everyone's talking about, and that everyone cares about.
3/More good news: Florida's proposition to give felons voting rights won. But it didn't just win - it won with substantial support from Republican voters.
That suggests there is still SOME grassroots support for democracy that transcends

Bad ballot design led to a lot of undervotes for Bill Nelson in Broward Co., possibly even enough to cost him his Senate seat. They do appear to be real undervotes, though, instead of tabulation errors. He doesn't really seem to have a path to victory. https://t.co/utUhY2KTaR

There is co-ordination across the far right in Ireland now to stir both left and right in the hopes of creating a race war. Think critically! Fascists see the tragic killing of #georgenkencho, the grief of his community and pending investigation as a flashpoint for action.
Across Telegram, Twitter and Facebook disinformation is being peddled on the back of these tragic events. From false photographs to the tactics ofwhite supremacy, the far right is clumsily trying to drive hate against minority groups and figureheads.
Be aware, the images the #farright are sharing in the hopes of starting a race war, are not of the SPAR employee that was punched. They\u2019re older photos of a Everton fan. Be aware of the information you\u2019re sharing and that it may be false. Always #factcheck #GeorgeNkencho pic.twitter.com/4c9w4CMk5h

Declan Ganley’s Burkean group and the incel wing of National Party (Gearóid Murphy, Mick O’Keeffe & Co.) as well as all the usuals are concerted in their efforts to demonstrate their white supremacist cred. The quiet parts are today being said out loud.
There is a concerted effort in far-right Telegram groups to try and incite violence on street by targetting people for racist online abuse following the killing of George Nkencho

This follows on and is part of a misinformation campaign to polarise communities at this time.
The best thing you can do is challenge disinformation and report posts where engagement isn’t appropriate. Many of these are blatantly racist posts designed to drive recruitment to NP and other Nationalist groups. By all means protest but stay safe.
