       The #Trump tax returns are unbelievable. They are almost laughable as the numbers are blatant lies.

       @prodygy Richard, he is truly a vile individual. I don’t know how he ever manages to sleep, unless he is a sociopath lacking a conscience. #GymJordan is the sole reason my bird account still exists as it’s my duty to QT him with snark every few days 🤓😂#JimJordan #GOP seditious, traitor, liar, and sexual abuse enabler.

       @prodygy Illegal gerrymandering. If you don’t already follow them, @marcelias @democracydocket and @DavidPepper  continually provide updates and explanations regarding voting rights and gerrymandering. #JimJordan #votingrights #gerrymandered

       @anthro_gurl @prodygy @marcelias @democracydocket @DavidPepper I have a few Republican friends but we never discuss politics and they aren’t MAGAts. I feel you though. Especially in GA. They still believe they should have won the civil war🙄

       Nicolle Wallace presented appalling data about increased U.S. antisemitism. 85%, yes that’s  eighty-five percent, or more than 3/4 of U.S. adults believe at least one antisemitic trope. A 24% increase from 2019. As a Jew, an American, & a human being, I am disgusted & scared. It can happen again if more people don’t speak out.

       A true story about America’s dire healthcare crisis. Preface: my husband works for his best friend of 40 years as the problem solver, put out fires, do whatever is needed VP. Our healthcare insurance is via the company. For the past few years we had flat copays for doctors and meds, depending upon tier & specialty. Not fantastic, but not bad. January 2023 we attempt to pick up prescriptions. Pharmacy says Vyvanse is $358 for 1 30 day supply (son & I both take it) 🧵cont’d

       🧵4. Patient that 25 mg Adderall is rumored to be in stock. Luckily, I found it for $75. After 2 days of research, I found Amazon Prime Pharmacy has the rest of our meds at much lower prices than retail pharmacies. However, it’s taking them a long time to verify my scripts, so I haven’t had my asthma meds for a week. No bueno. Fractured my ankle 2.5 months ago. Can’t afford to go to Physical Therapy. I have another health issue with my stomach & immune system that I need to see 🧵contd

       🧵2. We used to pay $50. Price my generic asthma medicine, Wixela, at $186/month. We can’t pick up the meds and don’t understand the expense. Finally, I reach a human at the insurance company. After researching, she discovers our insurance plan changed as of 1/1. We now have $5000 individual deductibles, a $10,000 family deductible, and AFTER we meet those we have a 30% copay. WTH? Next, we discover the company was forced to change the insurance plan as an employee needs a 🧵contd

       🧵3.  a $150,000/ month medication so the insurance co. Increased the premium. Of course, we don’t want anyone to be without a necessary med, and we are worried about employees who earn much less & have multiple children. The owner is sick about it. He knows our son absolutely needs his Vyvanse to function so he paid for it🙏🏻❤️. My doc switched me to Concerta, even though I don’t do as well on it, due to the Adderall shortage. Guess what? No Concerta either. He found out from another 🧵contd

       🧵5. my functional med Dr to resolve as my primary care doc missed it. Can’t afford to go. I realize we are lucky compared to much of America. My point is that we are considered middle to upper middle class and we can’t afford critical healthcare. And unless you’ve lived with ADHD don’t ever criticize someone with it for needing medication. How are we going to fix this for an entire country? #adhd #health #healthcare #medicine #mentalhealth #uspolitics #economy #USA

       @statmonkey @MaryAliciaZiff @PeggyStuart Don’t say gay. Don’t read either canonical or diverse literature. Whitewash history. Instill fear in educators so they don’t question the status quo. Creativity is bad. Everyone should look similar. And don’t ever let on you love academia. The horror!

       @SrRochardBunson @antonioserrata Finally! That explains why I often see 1s and 0s floating about. Thought I was hallucinating😂On a side note, ChatGPT will undoubtedly induce more teachers to quit. Why bother teaching writing, composition, grammar, rhetoric, critical thinking, or research? Plagiarism was already a complex problem. Sometimes technological advances do more harm than good. #AI #ChatGPT #Academia #AcademicChatter #Education #HigherEd #Writing

       @Dogzilla @SrRochardBunson @antonioserrata I’m discussing freshman composition courses, where I teach the fundamentals of rhetoric, research, & writing with concision & clarity. I’m teaching concepts, critical thinking, and reading comprehension, not facts. Thus, when assessing their work, I’m looking for how facts are presented (paraphrased, direct quotes, citations, analysis, coherent paragraphs, etc.), as I want them to be prepared for writing in their discipline. https://www.wired.com/story/chatgpt-college-university-plagiarism/

       @jackiegardina You are sounding the alarm, which is vital as Florida falls further under Dictator D’s fascist regime. We cannot allow his influence to spread.

       @samueloakford Unfortunately, this isn’t surprising considering #ElonMusk continually shows us who he really is: a money-grubbing narcissist who panders to right wing extremists and lacks a conscience.
