Nah, last time there was a joke at a debate it became president.

[christie_d @christie_d22]

I went out on a blind date last night and the guy asked me if I thought voting for Kamala or Warren was a “waste of a vote because the country isn’t ready for a woman president” if you want to know how my love life is going.

IM WRITING ANOTHER POLICY PAPER BECAUSE I DIDNT GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. If the system is already broken, STOP BREAKING IT EVEN MORE. We figured THIS out in the 70s! They’re a cat hitting a vase off a shelf, just to *really* break it this time. @haley_pantle @moylanhlthplcy

Yay for @SvanteMyrick getting an honorary doctorate from IC! Here’s my perspective as part of the graduates. What a deserving recipient!

[Desiree Cochran @desiretheflyer]

@moylanhlthplcy why aren’t we in class to talk about this insanity that’s occurring?! Arghhh!!

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Abortion bans aren’t just about controlling women’s bodies.

They’re about controlling women’s sexuality. Owning women.

From limiting birth control to banning comprehensive sex ed, US religious fundamentalists are working hard to outlaw sex that falls outside their theology.

[Desiree Cochran @desiretheflyer]

@JohnCarltonKing @SamBaranski2 @SvanteMyrick That is really good to know!

[Desiree Cochran @desiretheflyer]

@moylanhlthplcy @Kayla38870331 @abbymiller58 @EstelleYedynak @CNN It says they don’t know what that means yet! And to keep doing it.

[Desiree Cochran @desiretheflyer]

Is this really happened? This is the opposite of the premise of health care. How can this be allowed?! This is the last tweet needed for this class, and I’m sad it’s ending like this. #IC_HLTH_33510

[ACLU @ACLU]

BREAKING: Trump's HHS issued a rule today allowing for discrimination in health care when there is a "moral or religious objection."

Preventing people from accessing critical medical care may endanger people's lives, especially trans people and those seeking reproductive care.

Didn’t we vote to increase deductibles during our last class? (I still hadn’t made my decision when everyone else made that vote!) #IC_HLTH_33510

This is so wrong in so many ways. If there are more deaths because of this action, I don’t even know what can be done. I’m so scared for them. #IC_HLTH_33510

@moylanhlthplcy @DerbyAlys I don’t understand all of this. I need to read up on SALT! #IC_HLTH_33510

[Desiree Cochran @desiretheflyer]

Oppression is a strong word. I would have to know more about what he’s referring to. Because NYS costs so much, lower income individuals can’t live here? We also have a lot of government-funded programs and support our people in other ways. Hmm... I’m thinking. #IC_HLTH_33510

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

....People are fleeing New York State because of high taxes and yes, even oppression of sorts. They didn’t even put up a fight against SALT - could have won. So much litigation. The NRA should leave and fight from the outside of this very difficult to deal with (unfair) State!

[Desiree Cochran @desiretheflyer]

@DerbyAlys You’re speaking my language.

[Desiree Cochran @desiretheflyer]

There is absolutely no rational reason teachers should be forced to protect students in this way. No reason. #IC_HLTH_33510

[Gabrielle Giffords @GabbyGiffords]

At today’s NRA convention, Donald Trump said: “Who’s better to protect our students than our teachers who love them?”

Our teachers should be teachers, not bodyguards. https://t.co/WGq8GGGRUd

[Desiree Cochran @desiretheflyer]

There is attack after attack that we’re already well into “alarm fatigue”—a definition used as a nurse where the alarms ring so much that we eventually stop listening and miss other alarms. Each of these alarms NEED attention and change! We must not allow fatigue. #IC_HLTH_33510

[Ted Deutch @RepTedDeutch]

Before San Diego & Pittsburgh, deadly attacks on Jews in synagogues happened in other countries.

Before Charlottesville, violent nationalists marching with torches screaming “Jews will not replace us” happened in other countries.

We must confront the anti-Semitism in America.

[Desiree Cochran @desiretheflyer]

Interesting topic. I feel like this could definitely be addressed. Providers probably aren’t because it’s not exactly something that will cause job security! #IC_HLTH_33510
