The concentration camp that the Trump administration is creating in Guantanamo Bay is beyond disgraceful. We need to find a way to stop this outrage. @ACLU @WhipKClark @SenWarren @SenMarkey

Republicans are trying to blame Democrats for Republicans not doing their jobs.

But hey, that’s just what the Trump-Musk Republican Party does!

Also, do you get your health insurance through the ACA (Affordable Care Act) but hate Obamacare? News flash. They are the same thing. the ACA is the formal name of the program called Obamacare.

A week has gone by, and it has not been restored. This statement still appears in its place, and there is no context that would make the event described sound better. Thread 2/2 @LexingtonDEI

I'm wondering, @lexingtonsuper, do you stand behind your DEI policy, or not? Last week this paragraph about a specific antisemitic incident was retroactively and inappropriately deleted from a public communication issued by @LexingtonHSMa. Thread 1/2

Keenan Anderson—a 31-year-old high school teacher & father—stopped LA police for help after an accident. They instead cuffed him, pinned him, & tased him repeatedly as he begged them to stop.

Keenan died of cardiac arrest from excessive tasing.

His crime—asking police for help.

There is NO CONTEXT that would make this offensive performance acceptable, and I do not understand why it was necessary to remove the letter that addressed the issue. I sincerely hope that the original text will be restored promptly.

As the son of a holocaust survivor and the father of a @LexingtonHSMa student, I was appalled to learn that a school choir recently performed in a church, and included a song with lyrics taken from Macbeth that are highly anti-semitic. @lexingtonsuper @LexPerformArts @SCuthbo

Today, much to my dismay, the original content of that web-based communication was replaced with the following:

[George Thurston @ProfGThurston]

One aerosol scientist, heading toward his third COVID free year, surrounded by a trainload of lemmings headed to their next case.

Hey @WhiteHouse and @CDCgov, you know what would be a more effective policy for slowing COVID spread than travel restrictions for a single country? Reinstating the mask mandate for airplanes and public transportation. #BringBackMasks

[Pavlik Mintz @PavlikM]

@luckytran Both can be true.

@urwalder @desertdawg I was thinking about voting, but then remembered I blocked him so I can’t see the poll…
