Truly believe it. Saw the movie "The Penguin Lessons" its a good movie set in 1970s Argentina & the feeling i get is the chaos of ICE arresting people, even citizens makes USA look even worse! World Cup & Olympic games should have been moved to another country! Can't have games with DJT in power!

This has been true since at least the 1970s. Oh, and....teaching, like nursing, is under attack as a profession because women are a huge part of the workforce.
Our government’s priorities are entirely backward. And purposefully so.

Still in a state of shock trying to process the tragic loss of one of the most gifted men in the entertainment industry & his wife when the Embarrassment-in-Chief disgraces common human decency with this repulsive, deranged statement.

I’m on board with all of the objections in this article. But none of this is NEW. It’s been going on for decades. This default to smaller, simpler, more digestible sections of literature has been part of American education since at least the 1970s.

Pre-1970s-Primarily non-profit.
1973 (HMO Act)-Federal government incentivized HMOs as alternative to traditional insurance laying groundwork for managed care & profitability.
1990s (Blues Conversion)State regulators allowed Blue Cross Blue Shield plans, previously non-profit, to become for-profit.

US Mad King Trump hung the made up FIFA Peace Prize on his own neck.
Idi Amin (ruthless 1970s Butcher of Uganda) awarded himself dozens of fictitious titles, orders & medals as he grew more erratic & unpredictable the more years he spent in power.
History doesn't repeat itself but it rhymes.

This nurse is from Bowie. She should be there right now.
🧵This 58-year-old nurse from Maryland is seen being violently dragged along the ground by officials in Ghana.
Trump deported her there.
This abhorrent & disgusting abuse of a woman who saved American lives and cared for injured and ill Americans for 30 years.
All the details below are worse.

Rabbiatu Kuyateh was detained this summer at her annual ICE check-in, her son said. She moved to the D.C. area 30 years ago as she fled civil war in Sierra Leone.
