@tamaranopper If I've tried to clarify/enlarge the knowledge around one thing a day - to the Black girl I'm raising, in a dissertation chapter, to ignorance online - then I feel better.

My life goals: learn, adapt, implement, inform.
The acts of teaching& learning are as radical as it gets.

Grew a beard and lost his spine.

But at least he kept the eyeliner.

He says that citizens need to stop trusting experts and "do their research."

I do not have a degree in biology or immunology. I have no lab or lab assistants. I don't know the first thing about doing this sort of research. How will I do it?

Oh wait...he's not talking about that kind of research. He means rather than trusting people with degrees that understand how these systems work, I should get on Google or Rumble, find some NinjaDoctor wearing a mask who spouts nonsense, and via my confirmation bias, I decide said maniac's anti-vax diatribe is correct and all the totalitarian experts are wrong. That is what he means by "citizens doing research."

So glad to have earned my Bachelor’s, returned for my Master’s, worked in hospitals for years, earned my PhD in Public Health, completed a research Fellowship at the VA, and worked as a research scientist for a decade so this addled douchenozzle can question my expertise.

@GregorySpektor So I don't know who the comedian is, but found this on a bus ad for you all today! No contact info, so its not to sell toupees, just someone who took the time to create, print out, and post this!

@JeniferRajkumar We were so pleased to meet and speak very briefly with Jennifer today! We already knew about her record and plans, so we didn't need to say much to know she will work hard for New Yorkers and we can't wait to cast our ballot to put her in office!

@Patterdude @Elex_Michaelson @SenAlexPadilla @DHSgov @KristiNoem @AlexPadilla4CA Wow. This is a terrible response to what happened. You should be ashamed of ever even seeming to give legitimacy to a violation of the 1st amendment! And also an abuse of an elected official asking a legitimate question!! Shame on you.

So, that’s actually not allowed…The Constitution isn’t optional, sir. This isn’t a reality show — it’s reality. Two terms, that’s it. https://t.co/rjvppzeqXN

@BariAWilliams @NateSilver538 Thank you Bari, I couldn't have said it better myself.

@RichardNixonNow @TaritaC @WeAllNeedJesus1 @nhannahjones If this guy was preventing women like me from getting inside the building for necessary gynecology care (like an annual exam & birth control to fight my PCOS) so he could yell/pray at me ignorantly about my private medical life... then he should be arrested!

[Kyessa L.M. @kyessa]

@TaritaC @nhannahjones Yes, this exactly.

[Kyessa L.M. @kyessa]

@davidphilsin5 @ScottGsTruth @nhannahjones Trump's only economic plan = 2025 plan! &He is letting Elon handle that. Elon has promised to do to America what he has done to twitter: run it into the ground.
Elon literally said things are going to be very bad for most Americans for a long time. We'll just have to suffer.

[Kyessa L.M. @kyessa]

@ScottGsTruth @nhannahjones Yes, this 100%
I said somewhere else that the default narrative is one of Black women's incompetence. In that space, against someone comfortable going full authoritarian-fascist mode, she didn't stand a chance. Even if everything she said &proposed was for low/middle class peeps!

[Kyessa L.M. @kyessa]

@RamonaBessinger @nhannahjones What are you talking about? Legit question: Weaponizing what, who, how!?

[Kyessa L.M. @kyessa]

@GroupGraves @nhannahjones To paraphrase:
When they came for all the other minority groups, I didnt say anything because i thought that would protect me.
But there's no protection when you let "others" be deported by a man who is on video saying he doesn't mind if citizens also get deported accidentally!

[Kyessa L.M. @kyessa]

@sergiol652 @JoeD4Democracy @RedneckActivist @nhannahjones Because the messaging of the Repubs was super powerful.

&because this nation is founded on ideas of freedom that are in opposition to the enslavement of Black peoples. If you read the OG USA legal docs it's clear. Sad, but clear.

[Kyessa L.M. @kyessa]

@mexicology @JoeD4Democracy @RedneckActivist @nhannahjones YES, he made it up to cause anger in White voters, a fake problem!
