classic @TSA moment at @flyneworleans where the agent manning the scanner left post and logged out the computer, stalling any bag movement. nobody else could login because there was a dummy user/pw at play. pay for priority, get tripped up by the home team… it be like that.😅🙃

You know what actual populism looks like? It's not demonizing immigrants. It's this: Using government to protect ordinary people from corporate greed.
FTC Chair Lina Khan shows Lesley Stahl an asthma inhaler that costs dollars in Europe but hundreds in the U.S. She says drugmakers register patents on inhaler parts like the cap-strap to keep low-cost generics off the market. cbsn.ws/3zuONT2
imagine if the u.s. government invested in medical technology at the rate it invests in military weapons and test operations… getting a mri on my left knee, sticker price is $1200+. that’s WILD. how sway?!
a lot of commentary about how sanders should have “taken the high road” and shaken his hand… why is that expectation always placed on melanated folks? forget what michelle said… if they go low, it’s ok to not fuck with them people and remind them why.
Shedeur Sanders refused to shake hands with Colorado State QB Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi after last night's win.
Fowler-Nicolosi had previously said Colorado was in for a rude awakening.

People would rather spread misinformation instead of simply doing cursory research. The way these grifters and concern trolls are acting, you’d think Imane Khelif was just Mike Tysoning dainty women left and right.
She has NINE losses. She was in the last Olympics and didn’t win anything! Only 11% of her victories are knock outs! Shes from a country where you’re not even allowed to transition if you wanted to.
To the hateful and ignorant this doesn’t matter and they don’t know that because they found out who this was recently, and Khelif is just someone to be used in the culture war.
i imagine bron’s chemistry with his son on the court would lead to an exciting kind of basketball.. 2 players on a court that have outstanding chemistry — one being a top 3 all-timer — can change a game… can it change a season? win a ring?? idk, but it’s gonna be exciting!
folks be talking bout “deport all the undocumented immigrants” and then wanna go buy some tomatoes…
just be saying shit to say shit. 🥱
2 of the 4 faculty members being given awards by @Tulane at this year’s commencement have signed the faculty letter concerning campus protests and the university’s decision to deploy militarized police on students, staff, faculty, and community members…
i wonder how a university can continue to hold up its facade of “leading for a better tomorrow, knowledge for good, inclusive community, unconventional innovation, collaborative engagement, and inspiring excellence…”

We're just about to start the @UMassAmherst Special Faculty Senate Meeting to address the campus protests on May 7. I'm hoping to live tweet as much as I can. Chancellor Reyes is here along with about a half dozen administrators and media relations folks. (Thread.)

@JeffLandry, “fighting crime” as a means to reduce it is a laughable policy tactic and coded (re: racist) political speak… if you’re not investing (time, energy, dollars) in addressing root causes — taking a prevention approach — you’ll never win the “fight.”
@AnatSultanDadon commenting on a woman who set herself on fire in protest of israel’s genocidal actions… “It is tragic to see the hate and incitement toward Israel expressed in such a horrific way… (cont)”
