Democratic Underground's Twitter Presence

I have noticed the DU doesn't have a very large following on Twitter. This may not mean much to some out there, but I think some of the bloggers on here deserve to have their columns exposed. Not only will the bloggers get exposure, but the site itself will get more hits all around. Is there a reason why the site's founders aren't active on Twitter? And I don't mean posting the "pic of the day" every other day, I mean a real presence like Unite Blue has created. I would be willing to volunteer on the DU Twitter page. I am active on there all of the time. If interested please contact me.

Thanks,

D

Child attempts suicide after being bullied at school for being a fan of My Little Pony

RALEIGH (WTVD) -- An 11-year-old boy is in the hospital after trying to commit suicide -- the victim of bullying at school.

It's not a new problem in North Carolina, but this puts a new face on the age-old problem as Michael Morones remains in WakeMed with a tube down his throat and potentially life-long brain damage.

Michael tried to kill himself, apparently because he could no longer take the torrent of bullying he was facing at school.

"He's the kid that never walks. He dances everywhere," said Michael's mother, Tiffany Morones-Suttle. "He's so full of energy. He's always on the move.

Michael's parents say he was that way even in the face of daunting bullying at school. Michael likes the cartoon "My Little Pony." It turns out, the cartoon has a growing, and perhaps unlikely fan club -- men and boys known as "Bronies."

Because of that, Michael was teased so much that ten days ago he decided to do something about it.

"He hung himself off the side of the bunk bed, off the railing," said Tiffany.

His parents got him to the hospital, but the damage had already been done. Oxygen to his brain had been cut off.

There was something about this story that made me want to spread it around the Internet. Maybe it's b/c we all know how tough it was growing up. I dunno. But if you want to donate toward this kid's medical expenses then GoFund has a page set up for his family. Here it is:
