@Foxtel can you please have your spokespeople take #howtoapologize101? “If” his remarks were “misunderstood”? The remarks were insulting and, yes, they were offensive. There is no IF. Take ownership.

@VoteBlueIn2020@InsideATureen @Alicia0Givens @cooltxchick Your argument here is no different than the argument some used when Nazi officers were finally being charged for the heinous crimes committed during the holocaust. There’s no statute of limitations for justice. The passage of time doesn’t make it alright.
@VoteBlueIn2020 @Alicia0Givens @cooltxchick Age has nothing to do with it. This is solely about justice - something he and his family has never received. What does it say about us as a nation to look the other way because of her age?? C’mon now!
@erictheent @W4rriorPr1nc3ss @PrimedPineapple @TVandBeers@AITA_online You are definitely NTA here. Not everyone is capable or in a position to suddenly become a parent to a 17 yo. Given your situation, if you wanted to be a foster parent, you’d be denied. So how can you suddenly take custody? Willing and able: not the same
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of working with several compassionate folks at Strong Memorial Hospital, including a badass RN who told her superior:
> NO! It is NOT acceptable that deaf clients get [interpreting] services from 9-5, M-F when everybody else gets 24/7 direct access.
@lovseniors I’m 44, own & WEAR multiple traditional charm bracelets. Some charms my great-gma’s! I still seek out new ones on trips. I just started my girls’ first bracelets. “In” or “out” ebbs and flows. These are classic like the LBD. Wear and enjoy!
@PatinkinMandy I happily own a few #GurglePots in several sizes! They’re darling and never fail to make me smile!! This brings me so much joy!! Gurgle on my friend!
The NAD and several deaf individuals have reached a settlement with the President of the United States and other White House officials to conclude a lawsuit over the Trump White House’s failure to provide ASL interpreters during press briefings related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
@LCyoulater87 @avesatanas@Lollie42@cottoncandaddy The medical “care” black women receive is downright abhorrent! Heaven forbid they’re in pain because medical personnel write them off as medication seeking. It’s criminal.
@Lollie42@cottoncandaddy Don’t settle for subpar care. These professionals are supposed to be caring for us - they are not. I’d they were, patients would not be sharing these stories.
@Lollie42@cottoncandaddy Gone are the days when women have to blindly accept what their untrained doctors say about their health. The fact is, doctors are human. They don’t know everything. But they should be willing to find out. Women deserve health care on par with what male patients receive!
