Someone just told me that the people whose job it is to load EBT cards are not considered "essential" and it's not being done.

People can't EAT, y'all. I'm about to cry.
I really thought "someone just told me" made it clear I'm making no claims to accuracy. It turns out this is specific to Alabama and the reason is unclear.

It still upset me. Should I just take the tweet down?

A very good point

This quote from Andrew Ferguson nails something I've been trying to say, but in reverse.

Putin's plan was separate from Trump's campaign.

The goal was to keep Hillary from being President by electing a Republican, any Republican.

Bernie's job was to divide the left to elect a Republican. Any Republican.

So whoever won the Republican nomination would likely be President right now. And any other Republican - Rubio, Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush - would have worked seamlessly with Congress and rolled us on almost everything. Everything on GOP's rancid wish list would be fait accompli

Labels are not useful.

Definitions are.

We need some kind of consistency as we go into 2020

Labels are things like "Neoliberal Corporate Whore" or "Socialist" or "Libtard" or "Baby Killer"

These terms are unhelpful.

Progressive is tainted. Let's give it to Bernie. It means single payer litmus tests and trashing the Democratic party.

Let's take back Liberal. Abrams, Gillum, and Beto are Liberals. They want universal healthcare through strengthening ACA, voting rights, gun control.

2/
The media tends to conflate the two. And we all know when someone is labeled "progressive," Bernie gets credit for whatever they do, even if their platform has nothing to do with his agenda.

We need a clear distinction between "Liberal" and "Progressive" going into 2020.

So let's talk about this.... (thread)
Everyone knows I've worked the Iowa Caucuses twice, because Berners will NOT SHUT UP about it.

The article I wrote about it here -->>

So in 2008 Dems started with 6 candidates. 3 dropped out in the Fall, so we had three competing by the Caucus. That year they were mid January I think.

Y’all listen to this wild ass shit
So in 2003 I was 5 years old and my mom decided out of thin air one day that we were going to Africa and we were gonna stay there for 6 months so about 4 months in something OC happened that I won’t go into detail about and long story short I had to leave ASAP
It was a life & death type situation so my mom had to get me out but she couldn’t come with me so she had to find someone ASAP in the airport to bring me back to America

Y’all now how much I detest modesty performing & how I used to subscribe to that.

But I’m gonna be brave & put this out there into the universe if it may benefit anyone.

I’m free & HAPPY.

#ThenAndNow
Also just a footnote, I’m not inclined to share these kinda then vs now photos but Google photos kindly juxtaposed this 2011 picture with this 2018 picture in a neat little frame & I only had to save jpeg & tweet it 😬
💔 17 YEARS imprisoned in a cloth, from a child of 11 to a grown woman. Men who talk about hijab are talking out of their asses.

My DMs are open if anyone wants to talk about dehijabing.

If you want to encourage women to hijab keep the same energy in encouraging dehijabing.

People familiar with the history of the Air Force (i.e., not very many people, including most current enlistees of the Air Force), will understand this analogy of why we ultimately, if no immediately, need a space force. [thread]
In the early 20th century, only about a decade after its invention, army tacticians struggled to figure out what to do with it militarily. In Germany, they treated it as an extension of the cavalry (which was still an active thing).
As cavalry officers, the German pilots who flew the crazy powered kites of WW I had to wear sabers and spurs in flight.

i guess since i opened the door, let's talk a little about vegetarianism and the Dharmic traditions. A little, because this is a huge mega topic with a lot of emotion invested in it, and a ton of sources up and down through history. #hinduthread
also, i'm now just gonna hashtag all of these #hinduthread because i should have been doing that forever ago
ok, so. it's been a cliche for as long as i've been alive that all indians are vegetarian and that all hindus are vegetarian and its because of sacred cows and reincarnation and whatever hippy shit you imagined when you dropped acid in the 70s

Y’all we need to talk about privilege, good communication skills, and How You Are Functionally Racist.

Please buckle up while I biopsy a small portion of the tumor which is your anti-Black bias. 🤗
I am going to focus on the differences between white and black speech, communication, interactions, but this applies to essentially every marginalized group to some extent. This language isn’t meant to exclude but rather to provide a very clear example.
The inspiration for this thread comes from several sources, but the primary historical source is The Half Has Never Been Told. The primary neurodevelopment source is research being done by our lab members and collaborators, especially Drs. Alice Graham and Binyam Nardos.

Really dismayed by @HadleyFreeman’s column in today’s @guardian so going to unpack a few of the claims made here and the (not good) implications for feminism
Important first to note that I am a cis woman. But I feel responsible as a feminist and gender studies teacher to speak up in this debate. Also if my radical feminist grandma can become a trans ally then there is hope that everyone can
First up, Freeman refers to the currently hotly debated changes to the Gender Recognition Act. For background: the changes have been recommended to lessen the stressful barriers experienced by trans people, who must currently be “assessed” by all kinds of clinicians
