Cost of the GOP Tax Scam for the rich:💰~$1.8-2.3 Trillion

Cost of forgiving all student loans in America:💰~$1.5 Trillion

Clearly where there’s a will, there’s a way.

When people say that there isn’t “enough” to do these things, what they mean is they don’t *want* to do them.

@graystorm @a_joy_martin @NovicSara @ckpezzarossi Yes. Totally recommend!

@graystorm @thisross @julesdameron @Q__Kelly @TonyaStremlau Oy. Pet peeve. Have always had professors who encouraged me to play up the deaf stuff even when it had nothing to do with the story. My $0.02: the story is queen. If describing a sign or its tone helps gild her crown, fine. No? Toss it.

I have recently been informed that Bob Ross fandom is now a thing among the post-millenial folk.

Apparently, the kids these days find watching Bob Ross relaxing.

This revelation makes me feel simultaneously not-with-it-anymore and, worse, get-off-my-lawn-judgey.

In 2018, I hope you will channel your anger and energy into defeating those who voted to put their donors before hardworking middle-class families.
