Attention associate professors! This is just a gentle reminder to try to stay on top of getting promoted to full professor just in case a grad student murders you and CNN is left to their own devices to write this headline: "UNC graduate student charged with murder in fatal shooting of associate professor" @edutooters

Imagine if the US military was not allowed to negotiate prices on weapons.

Now replace "US military" with "Medicare" -- and replace "weapons" with "prescription drugs."

Remember that prosecutor #RonDeSantis fired? 'What American viewers weren’t told is that, behind the scenes, the governor’s office had quietly conspired with local sheriffs to tarnish the reputations of these democratically elected prosecutors—turning local cops against the state attorneys they’re supposed to partner with and trust." Oh, and the latest firing also short-circuited an investigation of abusive cops.

@wdlindsy Answering article title, Why? Because the gun lobby empowered by Republicans says “my freedom to tote lethal power Trumps you freedom to live, but I have plenty of “thoughts and prayers ready to throw at your feet with some faux tears and hope in the next life you’ll carry an assault rifle to get it on with, in Wild West America…” 🔥
