Hmm not sure how this works...

Republican hypocrisy on student debt relief is stunning.

@DeidreDeJear Definitely keeping a list! My school has had multiple lawsuits for enforcing a racist environment.

Reckless disregard for the wellbeing of Iowans. Governor Reynolds doesn't plan to draw down additional American Rescue Plan dollars allocated to Iowa, despite record food pantry usage, not enough affordable housing, & winter power bills looming. https://t.co/QyH4TAh4xb

I just stepped off the stage from the *one and only* debate Kim Reynolds agreed to.

She used the time to make clear that she's only fighting for her extremist, MAGA agenda – not Iowans’.

We can defeat her in just 22 days, can we get 6K RTs on this to build on our momentum?

[Deidre DeJear @DeidreDeJear]

To Kim Reynolds, anything that doesn’t please her national party leaders is "woke." My agenda is REAL:
𝐑ural Revitalization
𝐄ducation and Childcare
𝐀ccessible Affordable Healthcare and Mental Healthcare
𝐋abor Force Empowerment

MISSING: Kim Reynolds on the debate stage.

If she can’t be trusted to show up to a couple of debates, how can we trust her to show up for Iowans?

My first Tumblr is kind of random but relevant for the topic we are discussing this week: Internet trolls on dating apps, social conversations about race, and the black astronaut who was kicked out of the library for reading. #MCO335

@journalismgorl Hi Vanessa! You did an excellent job on your site and I also did a post on fake news. It's amazing how the fight against fake news is still ongoing even though there are so many ways you. Once again, great job! #MCO335

[SassPains @sasspains]

@TylerCondon9 I actively cringed while reading that post from the ESPN insider who was reporting on the passing of a player. How did someone think that was ok to post??!! #MCO335

According to author Dan Gillmor, “We’re narrative junkies. A breaking news story is like a novel that ends after a few chapters — we keep reloading in the hopes that someone will tell us the rest of the story”. #MCO335

[Frak @FrakThePerson]

Anyone can invent a national news story & a 24 hour meme cycle with one fake tweet.

[SassPains @sasspains]

We hear the term “fake news,” but what does that mean for information that is not fake but not the whole story? #MCO335

Hold on, I need you to back that thang up. Without cited sources, this feels like propaganda. #MCO335

@HaileyJefriss_ That’s very interesting! I bet it’s to give users a false sense of control over their data. Facebook owns Instagram so I bet they have already copied the content anyways. 😬#MCO335

This afternoon, history was made. For the first time in the history of our great nation, a Black woman was confirmed to the United States Supreme Court. Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s record is impeccable. I am thankful to @POTUS for nominating her to our highest court.. 1/
