Lies. Missourians do not support Putin and Trump and the axis of evil. I support the U.S. and the Allies.

I will die on this hill: The government is not a for profit business or a non-profit business, it is NOT A BUSINESS. Which is why when we run the government as a business, just like when we run education as a business, no one likes the outcome. Come at me.

True story

I would ask, “Why is this happening?” like a real philosopher. Unfortunately, I am STILL studying “WHAT is happening?” Short answers only.

Call it a heist, call it a coup, but please stop calling it a constitutional crisis. Aside from being useless as an explainer to anyone who doesn't understand the legalities, it severely downplays the danger in what is happening.

Maybe not ELON’S definition of Democracy… it’s called a balance of power in a decentralized government. Dude… you’re listening to the idiot in your head and it’s showing.

I hope you’re sitting down for this… I don’t think Elon Musk knows what checks and balances is or how balance of powers works.

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

I am trying to accept that we no longer live in a democracy and that it may be too late to save it. It’s taking me DAYS to figure out how to do my job. I THINK I’m depressed, maybe? Yes. I intend to be active, but does anyone else feel like they are moving but unable to feel? Just me?

Yes, @meidastouch.com, sadly, I do know our history, too ;(. The question is: What do we do next? #GoldenHanciffedinMO #stuck

It's official: Trump has signed an executive order placing steep tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China. The move will likely drive up prices — for Americans — on products coming from those countries.

I was reading news this morning, and I came across this from Fox News. Sounds great, right? Except it’s a complete lie. They had already dropped 60% before he came into office, and have been that way since November. Here’s the proof: www.cbp.gov/newsroom/sta...

I usually fundraise for non-profits, but today I’m asking for help from those of you who know how hard it is to be a teacher with chronic illness. I’m looking to be a better professor and colleague, so… if you can share this, I thank you. This was a suggestion from a student :) spot.fund/lwb6xzjsc

Thank you @meidastouch.com for your incredible inauguration coverage. My family in PA and me (in MO) were desperate to find anything but what we were seeing. You da best!

I must be the last one to know that the theme of the inauguration is “Our enduring democracy.” What a joke. Freezing Americans outside. Amazing Grace inside with the oligarchs. And a procession that is simply GROSS with arrogance. Sorry America, someone done F’ed up.
