Good Friday Fact: Jesus has visited every president in the White House dating back to Benjamin Franklin. That’s why he’s one of the greatest Americans of all time. If you won’t acknowledge that, it’s because you hate America, Jesus, or both.

@SKITZOmichigan Since people were freezing outside the Kraftbrau watching you set fire inside 20 years ago

Okay here goes. I will tell you what happened with the school covid debate and cite actual evidence rather than make things up.

@smotus I’d like to see the full dataset, but two points suggest the data does not map so easily onto school closures: children in cities, and children in the West (home to California), were alone in having NO reading loss. Cities, and CA, kept their schools closed the longest.

Another reason why you should not watch CNN (or TV for news). Regardless of whether a potus does it, EVERY recent potus has done this, so why single out one potus? One of the many reasons not to get news from CNN/TV.

There’s nothing unusual or wrong with a President delivering a political speech — it’s inherent in the job description — but doing it against a backdrop of two Marines standing at attention and the Marine Band is a break with White House traditions.

@steveglista @mlechs There are so many examples around the world of low effort/high impact bike lanes that are less intrusive to drivers AND safer for bikers and pedestrians.

@mlechs Rare self-reflection from certain type of folks, even if unintended.

A right-wing think tank is now a church in the eyes of the IRS. It’s part of a growing movement of activist groups that are seeking church status.

And it’s all perfectly legal. Here’s how 👇

@mlechs Can’t have a plan unless there is a strategy. Here’s from Nov 2019: https://t.co/lHpndKdV3a Still searching.

@KalamazooCounty Yes just delete the post and start over. It’s not brain surgery or rocket science 🤦‍♂️

What if —hear me out— we didn’t put people in cages and just expanded the pell grant for everyone. #secondchancepell

Regulate the internet like the public utility that it is, and social media platforms such as twitter like the publication that it is.

Laws to “promote algorithmic justice” for the sake of the children. It’s like a parody but from an actual senator.

"We tripled the amount of donations this year for our spring fundraising cycle, returned to print after our first print disruption in history (without an art director to oversee its production) and increased the pay for all student media group positions." #legacy #WMU

[Aya @ayamiller22]

May 1 will be my last day as editor-in-chief of Western Herald and a participant in WMU’s student media group. While this wasn’t my choice and is still an unexpected turn of events, I welcome the change.

It’s time to choose me.

@terabithia4 It feels like we are letting science dictate the vaccine approval process. That’s how it is supposed to work. As a parent of 2 year old twins, I am making an appointment the day it gets approved.
