I miss Target. I didn't buy anything today. Last weekend I went to Canada just to spend money, most of it at Costco. I don't have a lot of cash but being intentional in spending is in some ways liberating. #economicblackout #target #enddei

I didn't think I was capable of feeling any more shame for what America has become.

I was wrong.

Yes

Bottle of Gibson's whiskey from Canada

Today we drove over to Canada for some protest spending. I even bought some FDT Whiskey.

Is there an efficient way to follow back folks who follow you instead of clicking through them individually?

My head swirls with so many questions. When is it time to leave? When do I need to pull all my money out of the market? What about high yield savings. My husband thinks I'm overreacting but I just know too much history. (2/2)

Last night was my third night of actual nightmares. First they come for the disabled and those lower in their hierarchy then they come for the academics.

Credible sources are talking about polygraph tests to determine loyalty of those in government government. Patel has a list of enemies. 1/2

Protests beget more protests as people see that its ok to express frustration openly.

"Believe what you want to believe but don't call it science."- me after engaging with an antivaxer and explaining correlation is not causation and confounding variables.

I know they hate when we go into intellectual mode but he called me "cupcake".

Even on gilligan's island they listened to professor, not the millionaire

Honest question: is it worth fact-checking folks on social media? I keep saying "cite your source" and posting legitimate data. Am I just wasting my energy? #misinformation #fakenews

Thou shalt not spend millions on Super Bowl ads about Jesus when you could’ve used it to feed the hungry.

Did the transcripts even reveal anything noteworthy? It sounded like they edited for length which is standard practice.

Please take at least 24 consecutive hours off of social media each week. Resistance is a choir, not a solo.

i am 100% certain that they are weekend at bernie-ing trump and just handing him papers to sign, the content of which is determined by whoever happens to want something to happen

So since we are living in America's dystopian era... Buying emergency supplies isn't a bad thing..

Honestly, how are folks just going about their days like none of this is happening?

Let us not forget USAID is not completely altruistic. By funding help for other countries it prevents things like diseases from coming here.

You know how airline passengers sometimes will overpower a belligerent asshole and detain them till the authorities show up?

Federal employees need to do THAT when King Karen Ketamine and his Hackstreet Bois show up at their worksites. Then call DC cops, the ones who lived through J6.

No. I said they wouldn't have a conversation about it. Not the same thing.

The richest man in the world is sitting at the Resolute desk, about to defund your public school.

Trump should stop him.

No. I said they refused to engage in a conversation about it. That has nothing to do with intellect.

At no point did they say they should have voted for them- just that Trump was not the option.

I never called them stupid. I never tell students how to vote. However students engage in these conversations as they discuss content. My post was that they refused to hear criticisms of Trump or engage in conversations- with other students.

It's not my job to convince anyone of anything. My goal is to engage in conversations. Since you know everything- what's your solution then?
