I Don’t Hate Women Candidates. I Just Thought an Erratic and Vindictive Criminal Was Worthier of My Vote Than a Woman Candidate https://t.co/L6toBtUUhT

Many don’t realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps weren’t everyday Jewish citizens, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them “very long sentences,” I can’t help but take him seriously… because history teaches us that is what fascist dictators do during their “Day One” period to consolidate their power. (After all, if you’re hellbent on staying in power but aren’t likely to win the next election, you can’t have your political opponents running around free.)

To keep fascism out of our lives, vote for democracy!

@megynkelly Our understanding of sex & chromosomes has evolved quite a bit as scientists learn more about human bodies. I strongly recommend the @Radiolab series on this to learn about why our traditional understanding of XX/XY is outdated. https://t.co/IYNukvsWgl

Globally, the onset of menstruation is often the end to education due to a lack of menstrual hygiene supplies. Here in the USA, many children miss school during their periods.

Providing menstrual supplies at school is an effective, low cost intervention to keep kids in school

Even after this horrifying incident, @c_c_w_p continues to receive constant and alarming reports from incarcerated people - people are locked into cells reaching temperatures of 95 degrees, causing widespread headaches, vomiting, and other dangerous physical symptoms. #Heatwave

Tragically, an incarcerated person died from heatstroke and neglect over the weekend. #CareNotCages #ClosureIsPossible #FreedomIsNecessary #Heatwave

I know that if people were able to see the people inside serving this sentence we would be able to see true change in this rehabilation state. LWOP are the ones creating the healing spaces in the prison. Look at the facts....#beyondLWOP

@random_snakes I enjoyed reading the HP books when they came out but don’t want to go back to them. I volunteer w/ an org that works with people in CA women’s prisons, including some trans women who have really suffered due to people like her spreading lies & hate about trans women in prison.

@andizeisler We sang “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” at our elementary school holiday concert when I was in 6th grade. The choir teacher said it was a spiritual, so it worked for a holiday concert. The ‘80s were a strange time.

I just finished OMFG Bees! by @mkracht, and if this book doesn’t make you fall in love with bees, do you even have a heart? I just learned he also wrote books on birds & can’t wait to read them. Run to your favorite local bookstore or library to learn why bees are awesome.
