If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
Democracy dies in oligarchy.
Did we solve the epidemic of ring around the collar and dishpan hands that seemed to plague adults in the 80's?

Today my husband described the 2 of us having a conversation in the living room as us "blowing CO2 into the room for an hour" and now I didn't know if he ever wants to have a conversation again.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

My last two shots before my world went dark.
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Few patients appeal a health insurance denial, but a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment.
Here’s what experts say you need to know.

For those non-US folks wondering why citizens aren't in the streets protesting nonstop, a major reason is bc healthcare. Miss work to protest and get fired? You lose health insurance. Is your boss a Trump supporter? They can fire you for protesting and there goes your health insurance.

Because the Trump administration is doing such a *great job* running*this* country 🙄🙄🙄
Errrrrrrr.... could we get some more detail on that?
We know it'll take some time to get things back into order, but we *do* have an elected president, Eduardo González so the sooner he's sworn in, the better.

So far my main takeaway from the photos being released of Epstein's mansion is that no amount of money can buy good taste in decor.
Struck by this quote from John Fugelsang in Separation of Church and Hate: "Spiritual people use religion to become better people. Fundamentalists use religion to pretend they're better than other people."

Today is the anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Not only did the law literally open doors to countless students with disabilities (myself included), it also had the unintended consequence of creating the moral panic around an autism "epidemic." 🧵 1/

One of my fav things to do at these big conferences is find someone who looks tired af as they hoof it from one end of the convention center to the other and give em a compliment. "Ooh that jumper is CUTE!" or "Great bag!" Their face lights up and their step quickens 😁
Thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

What is your plan,
#ASHA, for addressing the Dept of Education stating that the study of
#SLP and
#AUD aren't professional programs and therefore students can't borrow as much $ to find their education?
This is the first
#ASHA convention where I couldn't find the exhibitor hall. Frustrating!

While Americans go hungry, President Donald Trump was partying it up.
The president spent Friday night hosting a Great Gatsby–themed Halloween celebration at Mar-a-Lago, just hours before tens of millions of low-income Americans were set to lose access to food stamps.

Dear people who audibly agree to let me know they are listening: When you start talking, saying, "Okay" or "Yep!" the Midwesterner in me activates to stop me talking over you. Nodding silently is a thing.
