I don’t think people realize how much energy and resources it takes to fix 💩.

anyone with any basic understanding of thermodynamics will get that it’s so much easier and costs lower energy to wreck things.

What Trump did to the Postal Service by ripping out their machines… … Took a matter of days to completely destroy the Postal Service efficiency. It will take a ridiculously long amount of time trying to set up all of those destroyed machines again… or pay for new ones and brand-new tech where people will need training.

Energy and resources…

😂😂😂😂😂😂 Who was forced to get married? And who benefited the most from that marriage? Geez As far as femininity? It’s pretty toxic in all of the Disney films. Snow White’s stepmother tried to kill her because her stepmother wanted to be prettier.

sleeping beauty was given the gift of beauty but only at the expense of her life.

Ariel had to change her entire self

😂😂😂😂😂 they think drag queens are strippers.

Who cares if they are in a gay bar? Applebees and Chili’s are straight bars that could cater to pedos…could say the same for McDonalds cos they have a playground and pedos hang out there watching kids.

Y’all need to calm down. I don’t hear of kids getting trafficked from gay cafés, bars, or restaurants…

But I DO hear about kids getting taken and groomed at straight loving restaurants, fast food with playgrounds, entertainment centers, roller rinks, the mall, etc…

Gay isn’t grooming. Gay isn’t pedo.

Teachers. Don’t. Need. Guns.

I knew incredibly racist, bigoted, and sexist teachers who wanted guns in classrooms.

These teachers would not have taken a bullet for just any kid.

These teachers felt they should be allowed to shoot people to deal with “black on black crime”… they would say this openly in the hallway between classes with students walking by

They were vocal about disliking LGBTQ+ people.

They felt women had no business in sports or sportscasting. Some made sexual comments about me to students.

It’s terrifying to think of them w/guns

Hi @steveashleyplus and everyone who responded to his post.

Science is often directed and impeded by politics. Politics controls what we study in multiple facets.

The gross misrepresentation of science by this administration giving us scientists further abuse by citizens ( 🧵) ...is the last straw.

We have politics to thank for our horrible science literacy in this country due to DEFUNDING education over and over again.

We have politics to thank for stopping scientists from do life saving research through stem cells.

Politics is hurting science...

I am not perfect and expect genuine people to correct me when I’m wrong.

I think the US is so tumultuous and raw right now from the increasing amount of injustice, corruption, and manipulation...That everyone is on edge.

I actually cried watching the Townhall tonight... I cried because I thought for a moment that we might be ok if we could just remove the horrid administration and it’s enablers in the Senate.

We might get to see productive change. We might get to see real programs develop to aid the least of us.

I know our country is in peril

Watching @JoeBiden in his #TownHall on @ABC. This is a breath of fresh air.

Shame on you @nbc for hosting @realDonaldTrump the same night. Are you gritting for train wreck views? I’ll avoid, thanks.

Dear @jk_rowling

I take anti anxiety meds as my panic attacks are crippling. I can’t take birth control because they fuel depression in me. I can’t function while on certain meds and can’t function without certain meds.

Hormone therapy is essential for mental health for many. I’ve had anxiety my entire life. It’s not lazy to recognize an imbalance in body chemistry.

You’re a disgrace to women @jk_rowling.

You do far more damage than good. I’m ashamed that I’ve supported your work. You need mental help. I hope you get it as you’re becoming a monster.

That is a bold faced lie.

I never asked for your help. I didn’t want it. I said that repeatedly. DM’s in thread. Then I’m leaving this. Set 1

When I taught high school science, I had students write an essay (after they had learned about Katherine Johnson) on how different the world would be if we had included all races and genders in science from the beginning...(Thread) An African American male student wrote the essay basically stating that
1. it wouldn't be much different because women have no place outside of the home.

2. There are only 2 genders. Women are supposed to serve men.

3. God wants it this way.

He completely disregarded the...
