@mcall Friday the article:
David Lopez & “his co-dean, Kimberly Mutcherson, said in a statement that the discussion underway had nothing to do with “stifling academic freedom, ignoring the First Amendment, or banning words.”

@mcall ...”Rather, they said, it was about “how best to create classroom environments in which all of our students feel seen, heard, valued and respected.”

@mcall “From” the article 😳
@mcall Lawyer “Samantha Harris, ... said the school would be abdicating its responsibility to train lawyers if it encouraged professors to avoid epithets in all contexts.
“When you’re an attorney, you hear all kinds of horrible things,”...

@mcall ...”said Harris, a former fellow at FIRE, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.
“You represent people who have said horrible things, who have done horrible things,” she said. “You can’t guarantee a world free of offensive language.””

@starsandstripes Read this article. I was shocked & angry! USA’s Military budget is equal to what, half the fg planet?!!! But an amphibious vehicle leaks so badly that its transmission floods & quits. And a rescue vehicle rams the crippled AV, tipping it into an oncoming wave & speeding the sink!
@starsandstripes “... disregarding proper maintenance, improper training and a failure to evacuate personnel in a timely manner, the Marine Corps said Thursday.
Eight Marines and a Navy corpsman ... died after the vessel sank on July 30...”

@starsandstripes “The Marines at the time called it the deadliest training accident in its history with that vehicle... factors included a lack of safety boats in the water, waves that were higher than had been anticipated and poor buoyancy from personal flotation devices...”

I want to offer HELP to folks having problems with their 2020 tax return.

I had to file my 2019 return on paper; Just as the USA & IRS shut down for #Covid19. My return is in limbo, still. Only recently, was the #IRS able to confirm that they HAD received it in April 2020.

1/x
Now, I am E-Filing my 2020 Tax Return. To confirm my identity, the #IRS asks for my 2019 AGI. Done. But my 2020 Return is REJECTED. I called the IRS for help, & got none. Their rep could only suggest that I print & MAIL my 2020 return, too.
I actually said, "Uh, HELL NO."

2/x
While I pondered, TurboTax reached out to me, online. They noticed my rejected return, in their system, and were offering help!!! I validated my phone number and I spoke with a nice lady that knew what to DO.

@Libertea2012 I have not yet read all of this article from The @Guardian. James Comey is hawking another book. Comey has talked himself into irrelevancy and should NOT be offered prime time air. His “15 minutes” are done.

IMO, Comey’s praise of the Nixon/Ford resolution is wrong.

@Libertea2012 @guardian IMO, Comey’s praise of the Nixon/Ford resolution is wrong.

At the time, Ford’s Nixon Pardon was thoughtfully chosen. But it also failed to HEAL a National wound. It denied how serious it was & allowed the wound to fester, out of view!

Deep corruption allowed the Trump WH.

2/x
@Libertea2012 @guardian Without a Public Court seeking justice & restitution in the name of #WeThePeople, an aching imbalance developed. The Privileged were not chastised, corrections were not made, & hubris remained unrepentant.

The People lost vital TRUST in the Pact of Our Common Laws.

Tic! ⏰

@NPRinskeep @MorningEdition @NPR Listened to #SallyYates interview this AM on @KUT.
I will answer the question she wisely ducked.

YES.
Trump MUST be prosecuted for any crimes committed. & IF convicted, must NOT be pardoned. Sentencing TBD. But a trial MUST happen! The accusations against Trump are worse > Nixon
@NPRinskeep @MorningEdition @NPR @KUT The accusations against Trump are worse > Nixon.

Nixon tolerated corruption.
Trump IS corruption.

#WeThePeople are a nation of Laws.
The #POTUS is not a king.
The #POTUS is a public servant.
And #POTUS IS NEVER ABOVE THE LAW.

It’s about time they were all reminded of that.
@NPRinskeep @MorningEdition @NPR @KUT Should Trump go to jail for allowing the deaths of more than 175,000 Americans, because his political ambition was more important to him than these lives, & the collateral losses to the nation?!⚠️

He & the people he appointed, are responsible for many AWFUL things!👿
