@coleyworld I am the radical left too. I believe in health care for all, diversity being our strength and removing racial injustice and systemic racism. Sadly some people think these basic human values are radical.

@GovAbbott @TexasDSHS @TDEM Masks and vax from the start would have been much easier and cheaper. But since you didn’t and are now in big trouble, you want to be bailed out. And btw, only one monoclonal which is in short supply works for omicron. So predictable.

@seanspicer Look, Tom Brady got almost $1 million and Joel Osteen almost $4 million in PPP loans forgiven. Compare that to forgiving $10,000 of a $65,000 student loan for a teacher making $50,000 a year and then sit down and be quiet.

@rmantha2 I wear a mask because I care for my 93 yo father who is battling cancer - and my husband who has cardiac valve disease. But of course you wouldn’t know this - and you do not need to. Also feeling ok about endothelial damage post covid infection seems rather ill-informed.

@ChipzNgiggles @MikeSington Yes, can you imagine the outcry if Obama appeared in a pic with a woman in a half open bathrobe giving that cheesy thumbs up?

@patriottakes As a nurse, I cringe. And make one suggestion: the national RN licensure exam should include this question: Are you able to put the health and safety of your patients above your personal and political beliefs at all times? Pass/Fail
