Some Twittervism to Tide You Over Until the Weekend
I still have a lot more work to do on a big essay about some revelations and my attendance at a forum put on by a progressive socialist activist group this weekend. To tide you, my readers, over, though, how about some Twittervism? There's been a lot of fuel out there to throw out some angsty posts.

It's not called "Chain Migration". It's "Family Unification", originally put into place for Eurocentric reasons, and not as easy as [45] wants you to think. https://t.co/E4FV8E6lDa

Don't know about anyone else, but [45] kinda reminds me of King George III. He de-regulates then lets Congress do whatever it wants. Well, let's do what US Citizens do best. Let's resist to stay free!

If it i wouldn't get tedious, I would put infinite "really"'s in the middle of saying how much I don't like Stephen MIller. He has totally rubbed me the wrong way with the hate that emanates from him & all his sniveling sneering he does on TV. I REALLY HATE THAT GUY!

Being the target of multiple sexual assaults at the end of the date is more than just a "bad date". Dudes, if you can't stop yourself, follow Pence's advice & don't be alone with a woman unless she says "Let's do it." Go back into public if she rejects you once. Hard stop.

And the lack of such a unit or class does not excuse people who have assaulted or abused other people. At best, it implicates society, norms, & our society & heritage for properly teaching people consent.

Good episode re: sexual misconduct in restaurants & how parity cuts down on the BS. One really crude dude was able to "read the room" & realize his joke wouldn't work. Yes, a crude dude had the presence of mind to see a sexual comment wasn't cool. https://t.co/M8Dk4q367w

Click on the next one to read a great thread:
Dear straight white men: Get used to waiting your turn. Get used to being talked over sometimes. Get used to being occasionally overlooked despite the quality of your work. Get used to often being in the minority in a room. Everyone else has had to.
