@AngryOrchard @MagsVisaggs I don't live close enough to visit your location in person, but I do drink cisebwith my friends often. I like my cider without the bitter taste of racism, so will be sharing this with my mates and reminding them to look for other brands henceforth.

@MPRnews This is disgusting. Religion should have no role in leg marriage unless the couple wants it to. The state should have no role other than to keep the records.

[Derek Larson @CSBSJU_GREEN]

@christoaivalis @Ian_Mosby That's less obvious than it sounds in my opinion. As a 30-year veteran of history search committees, I can attest to the fact that many people who earn PhDs are in fact not qualified for actual tenure-track academic positions. The degree is a minimum qualification, nothing more.

Math is interesting! So is politics. https://t.co/DSGcLGtMid

@NewYorker He's done, time to get off the stage.

IYCM: Rapid ice loss in early April leads to new record lowhttps://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/2019/05/rapid-ice-loss-in-early-april-leads-to-new-record-low/ At moment 2019 looks like it's tracking towards record low year, but could all change in next few months

@SJUAlumni C, no question.

Cool art installation at the Walker: an entire room of chalkboard surface and huge sticks of chalk just waiting for people to create.

@piersmorgan Now.

[Derek Larson @CSBSJU_GREEN]

Now. Please.

@KerriMPR all media outlets, including NPR & MPR, constantly engage in both-siderism and false equivalency. If we could stop giving uncriticized voice to extremists, and stop equating opinion with peer-reviewed research, perhaps we could have a useful conversation about bias.

I'm tired of hearing about "Real Americans, what the hell is an unreal American? Also weary of the presumption that all small town residents are conservative, for clearly that's bullshit.

(THREAD) There's now a rumor in Congress that Trump plans to fire Special Counsel Mueller on December 22. If this happens, it will trigger a constitutional crisis. This thread explains what's happening and what to do—please read and share it widely.

This is an actual emergency.

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

The sexual harassment allegations against President Trump must be investigated and addressed. No Executive Privilege to assault.

You cannot silence me or the millions of women who have gotten off the sidelines to speak out about the unfitness and shame you have brought to the Oval Office. https://t.co/UbQZqubXZv

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

UPDATE: Senate Republicans are so desperate to pass their tax bill tonight that they're now making handwritten changes to their already handwritten changes...

Seriously.

[Derek Larson @CSBSJU_GREEN]

I would FAIL any student that rushed a paper for a deadline and turned in bullshit like this #GOPtaxscam bill. https://t.co/tY2I54fNOA

[meeko’s mom @_si_se_puede]

The #GOPTaxScam looks worse than my old college paper rough drafts.

🚫hard to read
🚫no logic
🚫not thought out
🚫inclusion of X-ed our pages (why the heck is it even in there? Waste of time ...)
🚫(include your own teacher comments here)

I give this a final grade of FAIL‼️

[Derek Larson @CSBSJU_GREEN]

This scam bill is larded with insane giveaways designed to earn votes and donations from special interests-- rich, conservative ones. https://t.co/CGyhOS2Fqa

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

#GOPTaxScam is riddled with special interest provisions, but one of the most outrageous is the Hillsdale Handout – a tax exemption for a college that refuses to comply with nondiscrimination law. Make your voice heard against this egregious tax scheme.

[Derek Larson @CSBSJU_GREEN]

@SenJohnMcCain Your support for the #GOPTaxScam disgusts me Senator. I thought you had more integrity than this vote displays.

[Derek Larson @CSBSJU_GREEN]

The GOP liars haven't read their own bill, now written in PEN by lobbyists for the corporations that will get all the tax breaks. https://t.co/mBiPJ2PqFG

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Well there you have it: The @SenateGOP won’t even give Democrats the weekend to read all the lobbyist giveaways they’ve added in chicken scratch to the #GOPTaxScam they're jamming through tonight.
