Short. Progressive. Opinionated. Mom. Geek. Independent. Atheist. Cynical. Idealistic. Grateful.

So essentially, we’re stuck choosing between a delusional, narcissistic, pathological liar and a Republican. #PresidentialDebate2024

BREAKING: This brilliant speech yesterday by a Columbia professor on the cowardice of the university administration in calling in police to arrest students will be cited throughout history -– and will inspire generations of students for decades to come.

Columbia still on lockdown two days later.⤵️

Some of us have been out of school for a while and may have forgotten our American history.

Protesting injustice and expressing our opinions is part of our American tradition and what makes this, in fact, a free country. That’s what the Constitution is all about.

1/2 Students refusing intimidation from @stonybrooku last night as the university called in state troopers to tear down their encampment against genocide in gaza. 22 students, 5 alumni, 2 faculty arrested. All have been told we will be suspended. Cops confiscated our phones.

@laurenboebert You’re dumb.

@RobAstorino Lol

Maybe the #MetGala (and more broadly, fashion in general) used to seem glamorous and fun and aspirational. In 2022, it feels grotesque.

@PrisonPlanet lol. poor white people.

Super proud of this kind of feedback :)

The #probgen21 poster session is the first time I'm liking a part of a virtual conference more than I like the IRL experience it's modeled after! Really nice reading each poster in a dedicated channel and seeing a full chat record with lots of pre-answered questions :)

Imagine my surprise to see @VancityReynolds moonlighting for the masonry company re-paving my driveway!

[Mary Triebert Smith @smithmkt]

If there's a so-called double standard, I'd rather be on the right side of it. I don't see the value in excusing, rationalizing, or diminishing bad behavior by people in positions of power because the other team got away with doing something worse. #HoldPowerAccountable

[Mary Triebert Smith @smithmkt]

@mtgreenee You are a complete idiot.

[Mary Triebert Smith @smithmkt]

Nope nope nope nope nope. Forgo impeachment in the “spirit of healing”? Give me a break. Accountability is what will heal us. That’s the ONLY way we stand any chance. That’s what’s we’re missing - not “unity,” but JUSTICE.

You know why they’re not going to take any action against Trump? For the same reason why cops are rarely held accountable for their wrongdoing and white men are rarely convicted of rape. Because they’re IN THE SAME CLUB. #Seriouslyfuckingoverwhitemenalready

[Mary Triebert Smith @smithmkt]

So, Patriots - I guess “Back the Blue” doesn’t actually mean you support and respect the police, it just means you approve of it when they kill black folks. Got it.

[Mary Triebert Smith @smithmkt]

@realDonaldTrump That's the meth talking.

[Mary Triebert Smith @smithmkt]

@kkostova1 They are! You will receive an email shortly to register for the archive of recorded talks.

@GinaHaspell1 @GrimmC513 @MonicaLewinsky If you cannot understand the thirst to defend criminals, why are you defending the cops? THEY committed the crime. Jacob Blake was the victim. You stupid twat.

I say this as a Jew and an Israeli citizen:

Criticism of Israel is not antisemitism.

Advocacy of a boycott or sanctions against Israel is not antisemitism.

Weaponizing the charge of "antisemitism" to silence criticism of Israel is despicable.
