Today is the anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Not only did the law literally open doors to countless students with disabilities (myself included), it also had the unintended consequence of creating the moral panic around an autism "epidemic." 🧵 1/

That's the thing, even without the genocide he unconditionally armed he was a racist piece of shit. Always has been.
Yeah, Biden just wrote the Crime Bill and the Bankruptcy Bill, drafted the Patriot Act, voted for NAFTA, DOMA, and the Iraq War, eulogized Strom Thurmond, installed Clarence Thomas by smearing Anita Hill, voted to create DHS and ICE, made the Bush tax cuts permanent, and supported a literal genocide
Joe Biden was old but he wasn’t a fucking xenophobic racist dictator wannabe.

trump will pardon or assist any head of state who has been convicted for crimes. acting out of self preservation, basically
WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

The Trump administration's policies are creating an unintended consequence: food waste and inefficiency at a time when U.S. hunger is rising. buff.ly/yReyyMM
As US hunger rises, Trump administration’s ‘efficiency’ goals cause massive food waste
Despite the administration’s claim of streamlining the government to make its operations more efficient, a range of recent federal policies have, in fact, exacerbated food wastage.

Again, there is no plan for running our universities without federal funding, or foreign students, at scale. But the public has no idea about this because no. one. is. telling. them. this. They expect their kids are still going to be able to do all the things at college in the next 4 years, & well:
The entire business model of R1 public universities rests on 4 revenue sources:
1. Federal grants
2. Private gifts/endowments
3. Tuition (esp. from foreign students)
4. State $
For decades, 📈 in 1-3 offset a secular 📉 in 4. Now, 1 & 3 are being decimated & 4 ain't coming back. The math is clear.
