@DemocracyMattersALot That’s what happens when social media insists on asking how often men think about Ancient Rome!
Every once in a while I remember that early in the pandemic, UC Davis asked everyone in the UC Davis community to donate PPE from their own labs, which it routed only to UC Davis Health, a not-free medical center. PPE that came out of people's grant money (which UC Davis already skims off of) and sometimes out of people's own money.
I think about this as UC Davis continues to raise fees, pretend the pandemic is over, and drive disabled people out of their jobs and schooling. #UCAccessNow

You’re the one coming here offering to teach, but offering either books about a single man, or the kind of URLs that anyone with $8 can write. You don’t show your title (I suspect), because you have none.
I’m done with your nonsense.

🗣️ 📣 ARE Y'ALL NOT SEEING THE #FogOfWar?
#Netanyahu meets #ApartheidClyde at #Xitter and then presents a map of #Israel without #Palestine at the #UN. shortly the #Speakergate clown car begins.
how come Netanyahu ignores #Egypt's intel on #HAMAS and just like that GOP not only boots McCarthy, but he goes quietly... for a christofascist to take his place?
the billionaires funding Netanyahu's fascist coup also fund the USA's christian-zionists
this is not a coincidence

It's not just Donald Trump.
The #media shares blame for normalizing things that would never be considered normal in a non-failed state.
Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows is being sued by his publisher for contradicting his book’s claim about the 2020 election. https://apnews.com/article/c76972d8f51df9ad74bc7797584c7436
@verdantsquare I can only hope they have better luck getting rid of Bibi than we had getting rid of Trump. @bmacDonald94
Friends. I’m seeking advice for my niece.
She’s being asked to take on new responsibilities at her job and wants to be properly compensated. They’re asking her to do Microsoft Access work. Her role isn’t technical and has nothing to do with it. (She’s also a Black woman who doesn’t want to get walked over because of it.)
Does anyone have any advice or info about what compensation looks like for that kind of work? Thanks in advance!
This tickled me: "New York City public schools have adopted a new holiday: Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights. Students will have a day off... The reaction of my friend Vivek Dave: “A day off from school is very un-Indian. I would push for an extra day of learning"
@MartenHoyle@universeodon.com I’m like that when we talk about ghosts and vampires. I don’t know. @bmacDonald94
@DrALJONES Let me know when they demand that US leaders pressure Hamas to agree to an immediate ceasefire. @Jorsh
