I made a decision long ago to tweet in my native English Dialect, African-American Vernacular English (AAVE). Please don't correct my English. If you ever need me to interpret, just ask.

@SenSchumer They are already doing this. If you vote for the CR we will lose Medicaid. Don't do it. Don't let them get away with this budget.
English
If we enter a shutdown, Congressional Republicans would weaponize their majorities to cherry-pick which parts of government to reopen.
English
Dear @SenateDems and @SenSchumer, @SenateGOP are already shutting the government down. Don't let this CR codify what they are doing to our country. Fight for gov employees. Fight for Medicaid. Fight for us. Do not vote for the CR.

#PresidentsDay I expected to see more tributes to our real President, Elon Musk. Shocked.

@SWMom1 I'm saying educated White men who are dismantling our ENTIRE educational system don't care about if it's a success or not. What they care about is that our public education system is creating educated Black women at a rate that they find threatening and a rate they must stop.
English
@Theresa_Chapple So you’re saying the public education in America is a success?
English
Best guess on why educated White men want to tear down the entire educational infrastructure of the US?
English
@SWMom1 Doesn't ring sincere, especially with the assault on our colleges and universities that attracts worldwide talent. Try again.
English
@DrAbioye My thoughts exactly. Way too many of us figured out how to get educated and they have to stop it.
English
If you’re not educated, then “merit” can be used to exclude you.

In 2020, I wrote letters to governors asking, no begging them to decarcerate before COVID killed prisoners and prison staff. It was clear that prisons/jails would be a hotbed for the virus to spread. I'm sad it took so long before the advice of public health folk was heeded.
English
"Inequities, when left uncheck, can sap a nation's strengths" We'll end the class looking at inflation and draw the very clear line between the pandemic and the economic issues that dictated an election.
English
I'm working on my lecture for next week- political determinants of health inequities. We're gonna focus on COVID & racial disparities in COVID deaths. We're gonna discuss the changing demographic of who died & review the impacts of policies and political climate on those deaths
English
@caitiehutchie I've been meaning to do that too. Likely this weekend.

@Theresa_Chapple Hoping to follow you on Bluesky…do you have a profile over there? I’ve gotta get off this site
English
There's fight left in me.
The word that helped most came from a midwife in WI. She said, "You are awakening to the same country you fell asleep to. The very same country."
The needs of the disenfranchised were worth fighting for on Tues, & remains so on Thurs.
Deep breath & go!

This is hard. Not hard to believe, but hard to live through. When racism and sexism continually win, it really makes me question if anything I'm fighting for is even possible. Today, I will mourn. The question is will I have fight left for tomorrow.
English
@irrational_data @hallinen_diane Please do some reading on intersectionality. Please don't ask me to teach you anything today when there is so much learning you should be doing on your own.
English
@hallinen_diane @Theresa_Chapple Is there a metric we used to determine that or was it that racial disparities specific to African Americans were greater among women so we attributed to being a black woman as opposed to a woman?

@StLuGal I spent the summer out of the country. It was the best experience my family and I ever had. Really contemplating life elsewhere, because this country doesn't deal with intersectionality well.
