@babyloonlet I want to see them on Royal Court. I think they would thrive with an unhinged interview like that.

[Housing 4 All is Hot @ahouse4all]

You're not serious about ending homelessness if you don't address the systemic barriers into housing.

Application fees, credit checks, making 3x the rent, no pets, giant deposits.

It's hard for a housed person to get into an apt. - imagine how hard it is for someone in a tent.

Minnesotans on probation or parole are now able to vote! This morning, I watched the first of the 55K newly eligible Minnesotans register to vote after being re-enfranchised.

Thank you to the community members and legislators who have worked for decades to see this become law.

Idk what you’re talking about, I know personally Connie Lingus, Anita Dickenme, and Holden Midick

Texas heard SB888 yesterday, an anti-trans bill targeting doctors caring for trans youth.

After one person spoke, the chair then read off the names of 3 people to speak next...

And just...

Watch...

God I love Gen Z💀

There aren't a lack of policy solutions to the gun violence epidemic. There's a lack of courage among my colleagues to stand up to the gun lobby.

We can save lives by banning assault weapons, repealing the industry's broad immunity, and requiring background checks on all sales.

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

The red line is when Republicans ended the national assault weapons ban.

Senator Blackburn took $1.25 million from the NRA.

People will say that we shouldn’t politicize tragedy.

When tragedy is caused by political negligence and a hunger for power— it is inherently political.

I would say thoughts and prayers for Tennessee, but I know that will never be enough. I’m so sorry.

[Jon Kuntz, PhD 🦈 @Shark_eye_sci]

Universities requiring research based grad students to pay tuition after they already completed their coursework is just stealing grant money from their own profs

[Dr. Gabe Willis @drgabewillis]

Many of our “at risk” students don’t need lectures on grit. They need access to appropriate resources and support! They’ve been getting it out the mud for a long time - lets see how they perform when they are well resourced.

@MiaPonsot More like Megamind

It has been such an honor to have been a part of the BELoNG program as a grad mentor and to helping out the undergrads 😊

[Texas BME @UTBiomedical]

Out of the 12 @CockrellSchool #DEI seed grants, our department received 4! Learn how one program is fostering an environment where students and faculty can learn from each other’s experiences: https://t.co/CjsdGWr8c8 #Biomedical #AcademicTwitter

This is massive.

Gov Tim Walz has just made Minnesota a trans refugee state with an EO!

He will decline extradition requests.
He will refuse subpoenas.
No resource can be used to enforce bans.

They will be the first state to upgrade to dark blue, safest states in my map.

[Tyrone Porter @doc_tmp]

Simple truth…there is no such thing as discriminatory DEI practices. Expanding academic and professional opportunities benefits society. To think otherwise is exclusive, toxic, and unjust. #DEI #Justice #inclusion
