"A cure for cancer is a middle finger to the people who busted their ass to work hard through chemo."

I worked hard and paid off my loans. And I am damn happy that fewer people will have to chose between financial ruin and forgoing their basic survival needs.

Student loan forgiveness is a middle finger to the people who busted their ass to work hard to do the right thing.

@kaaauthor sharing my favorite childhood series w/ my son has been wonderful. Of course this was his only choice for a Halloween costume. #Animorphs #visser3

I got so played man. I thought writing was fun and cool because I saw one photo of some alcoholic smoking a thin cigarette when I was 14 and now I’m being rude to my loved ones because I can’t finish a pretend story I made up in my head. They really got my ass.

@AdultHistorian @BJShipley1 @kgraves @elle91 @MintMilana Or you know, just don't comment on their appearance or body. I have rich, full friendships with people whose bodies I've never remarked on.

@gracecb26 Even public universities often have insurmountably high tuition rates. I went to my state school, applied for aid, and took out loans. I still had to work the entire time to cover it. That meant a lot of homework done at 11 p.m. after I finished a double shift waitressing.

People tried to get Catcher in the Rye out of schools for being "anti-white." If you weren't championing the cause of banned books before, it's pretty obvious why you suddenly care now.

@classicallyabby you do know that right-wing activists have been canceling books for decades, right?

@KaitMarieox You would know about shit, wouldn't you, poopy pants.

Only people with 270 or more electoral votes should be called "president."

[Ben Shapiro @benshapiro]

Only people with Ph.D.'s in hard sciences and medical doctors should be called "doctor." This has been my consistent position for over a decade, as the execrable @michaeljknowles can attest.

An "abstinence only" approach to large gatherings works about as well as it does for teenagers having sex. We should all act responsibly. But we should also provide "protection" (rapid&accurate tests) to account for the fact that not everyone will do so. https://t.co/9zh0lyCpKm

If the last 4 years have taught us anything, it should be that the powers of the #POTUS must be severely curtailed. Now that we know a narcissistic despot can easily take the helm, we can't allow the position to include the power of limitless exec orders & command of the military
