Lexi Pritchard Editor-in-Chief Bluffer The February 17, 2017 "We are the generation of Social Media, Our biggest Revolution is a Tweet of 141 Characters." -@sandrachami Twitter is one of the largest social networking systems that allows global communication between millennials; the usage of Twitter can lead to promising or negative effects on the population's perspective. For example, Twitter serves as the younger generations main source of news for what's happening around them such as protests, the 2016 presidential election and the immigration ban. It can also be a form of local news for the Red Bluff community where students get school information through official school accounts on Twitter such as, @ BlufferLove , @ rbuhsdmedia, and @ RedBluffRowdies. Twitter allows individuals to directly give the public news instead of other news outlets which can false or misleading. On a national level, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have used Twitter as their main platform for communicating with their supporters and the opposing sides throughout the 2016 election and most recently, the immigration ban.

The controversial order made it to the Federal Appeals Court where it was unanimously ruled 3-0 unconstitutional. In response to this ruling, Hillary Clinton took to Twitter to jab at Donald Trump by simply tweeting "3-0." This tweet was met with backlash from the people.
