I live in Tulare County, so I tweet a lot about how Devin Nunes has become a corrupt Russian asset. I’m also a Humanist and tweet about human rights issues.

Hung out with a @DevinCow at #ImpeachmentRally
We know Trump broke the law and should be held accountable.
I also went because we do not put kids in cages and separate families. We do not dehumanize people to strip them of their rights. We are better than wannabe Fascists

I don’t think people appreciate just how bad Donald Trump was during the Ebola outbreak of 2014. Here’s a short list of the things he said, which were amplified (rather inexplicably) by the media. (Seriously, what was the reason for that?)

this dog literally failed every single test thrown at him to become a service dog and i am scream laughing. but imho he’s still a very very good boy.

@pedi_suzanne @EricG1247 @BernieSanders We cannot have a public option AND rein in the GREED of the insurance industry. The entire idea of having a public option is based on intense propaganda from the insurance industry. Check out @wendellpotter for the truth from someone who helped push the propaganda.

Don't have good memories associated with pregnancy. Some of us have traumatic and difficult memories and it really doesn't feel like society wants to hear about such traumatic memories when it comes to pregnancy. So, I've locked them deep inside and am still trying to heal.

[Katie W. @evagationkatie]

This article by ⁦@The_BohoChica⁩ was a difficult read for me. I don't really talk about my pregnancy. I was very high risk and ended up delivering a month early due to eclampsia. I'm ok with sharing basic info but the details of my pregnancy... 1/x https://t.co/6FoKyuo4eQ

[Katie W. @evagationkatie]

I balk at sharing the details. Just thinking about them makes me panicky. I hope to be strong enough someday to share the details of my pregnancy with more than just a few very close, very trusted people. So, this article is very good but also triggering for me. Some of us.. 2/x

[Katie W. @evagationkatie]

@courtneymilan Kinda makes you sound like the Grinch of contract law. /s
Also-I LOVE your books. No sarcasm. Your feisty and intelligent heroines are some of my favorites.
And I frakking adore Warren. I love to watch her impassioned and fiercely intelligent arguments.

[Katie W. @evagationkatie]

@beingcindy For both my brother and I, it was "My Antonia" it was a huge part of 9th grade English final score. We both barely started it and refused to finish. So Mom read it and gave us enough info for our essays. She STILL gripes about having to read it twice.

[Katie W. @evagationkatie]

⁦@BernieSanders⁩ said that ⁦@Snowden⁩ deserved "some form of clemency" that would "spare him...permanent exile" Trump has pardoned his criminal friends and donors. I hope ⁦@BernieSanders⁩ would #PardonSnowden and end his unfair exile. https://t.co/A95l2CrtrR

@nevona BCBS Michigan has some truly gnarly authorization procedures. Obviously I don't know if that was a problem for you. But since one of my jobs was getting authorization for hospital admittance, just seeing BCBS Michigan mentioned gave me a moment of anxiety. They are a nightmare.

[Katie W. @evagationkatie]

@EricG1247 Thank you for sharing this. It gives me hope that it's truly possible to not only come back from the brink of suicide but to also be able to eventually build a full and happy life again, someday.

[Eric @EricG1247]

At 20 deployed to Iraq I was suicidal. I felt empty inside a picture sent by a friend kept me alive. Since then I've got married, had 3 kids and running 4 Congress

You are not alone fight on. National suicide hotline [phone] https://t.co/ckEAtchxnX

(I've worked in the clerical side of healthcare for over a decade. I did medical billing and insurance verification and authorization, among other things. Trying to learn about our broken Healthcare system has been a part of my life.)

[Katie W. @evagationkatie]

#M4A doesn't "take away your choice" and the idea that it does is propaganda from health insurance cos. #M4A actually empowers us with MORE choices, and more choices where it matters. We could choose ANY doctor because there would be no "out-of-network" issue.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

We’re not going to beat Donald Trump with plans that raise middle class taxes and take away your choice.

[Katie W. @evagationkatie]

So, when Pete says that his health plan gives us "more choice" he is LYING. #M4A would give us more choices and more choices where it matters. If we ever want to stop being bled dry over healthcare bills, and want the freedom to see any Dr, whenever we want, #M4A is the only way

Toxic masculinity (or high traditional masculinity-HTM-according to the study) really IS TOXIC. It is not only toxic for the people around the man with HTM but is also clearly toxic FOR MEN w/ HTM.

Many Californians, including in Devin Nunes district, do not have access to clean &safe water. Meanwhile Trump & Nunes use CA Water as a tool to reward wealthy supporters. Devin Nunes does not care about the wellbeing of the people in his district.

[Katie W. @evagationkatie]

It is appalling to me that Trump, Nunes, & McCarthy are using CA Water as a way to win more votes in 2020. They do NOT care about the CA water crisis and only care about securing more water for rich farmers instead of caring about clean drinking water... https://t.co/QfZd5XwNtH

She called the neighbor to confirm that yes, this woman REALLY DID serve her placenta as a stew to unsuspecting kids. Mom was livid and screaming on the phone while I tried to explain that it was fine because the stew was terrible and I only had one bite. This did NOT calm Mom

[Katie W. @evagationkatie]

One of my neighbors when I was growing up was a bit odd. I was over at her house one day and she was serving placenta stew. I was a kid so all of her placenta talk went over my head. The stew was terrible, so didn't eat much. Told my Mom about it and Mom FLIPPED OUT

[Richard Dawkins @RichardDawkins]

Human steak could of course be cultured. Would you eat it? I wouldn’t, but it’s hard to say why. It would be cultured from a single nameable person. Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall served human placenta, also clone of 1 person, in this case the baby. I wouldn’t eat that either.
