Hey if you see someone who seems like they're being harrassed on public transport, go see if they're ok.

I just went up to someone and asked "do you know these guys?" & like magic they fucking disappeared.

Almost like they were deliberately targeting a woman on her own.........
This is by no means the first time that I, a badass transexual, have scared off some men who were harassing someone

But according to transphobes I'M the threat to women's rights........................?

#MakeItMakeSense

🤡
Fyi my first political passion has always been women's rights & feminism, even before I was trans.

Actual bullshit that I'm forced to spend so much time trying to stay alive against a barrage of transphobia instead of focus on greater feminist issues

Leave trans women alone.

Day 2 of @CDCgov’s #ACIP covered Polio, Meningococcal, RSV, Chikungunya, Dengue + Varicella 💉s 😳

No votes, but discussed additions of new 💉s to the Adult, Pregnancy + Childhood Schedule.

See our 🧵 below as we break it all down

#ParentsAreWatching 👀
Latest #VAERS reports 1,499,156 AEs from C-19 💉s

Today they reported CICP claims for C-19 countermeasures:

🔴 8447 claims from 💉s
🔴 543 claims processed
🔴 524 DENIED

Thought you’d be compensated for injury/death? Think again! How long will remaining claims take to process?
#ACIP leads off with concern that vaccine hesitancy is at an all time high + overall childhood vax rates have ⬇️ again.

@CDCgov + @US_FDA – Consider this the “new normal” until you start putting people over pHARMa profits 💰

Farmers in UK have reduced the amount of crops they plant, to adjust for the labor shortage, rather than leave tons of it rotting, some have even given up on some crops! It was never “Project Fear”. it was plain old common sense, but here we are all patriotic and that! 1-2
We are expect to “suck it up”, work harder, get better jobs etc, but that still doesn’t solve the problem of 💩pay for the menial jobs like PICKING THE CROPS! @RishiSunak #MakeItMakeSense #TaxTheRich Companies paying dividends while employees claim benefits is screwed up! 2-2
There is a road map out of this clusterfuck, we could have been on it if the GE had been fair, but let’s just move on! We need to implement the manifesto under @jeremycorbyn leadership, we must #TaxTheRich and stop subsidies to millionaires! We must claim all the backdated tax!

It seems that every public service is switching to online forms to apply for a consultation, this includes the Police, went to a police station today to ask them to find my estranged husband, told to fill in online form for missing person! Talk about screw with my emotions!
#ToryBrokenBritain We know there is a shortage of staff because of Tory cutting numbers, but some things need the human touch, things need to make sense! We may have the tech, but somethings need face to face meetings, computers cannot do compassion! Cutting cost cuts caring!
We must get the Tory’s out and start the plan to fix the mess, to renationalize all public services, to tax the rich, to remove our dated tax codes and claim back the money owed, to stop the shareholders getting dividends while employees claim benefits, clean up our water,

Canada, it's tax season! Instead of waiting a week before the deadline, why not take time to see what you can claim?

From work from home expenses to moving expenses, the Star's @madiwongg asks financial adviser @jessi_moorhouse to #MakeItMakeSense

thestar.com/content/thesta…
When are tax returns due?

The deadline is usually on April 30, but because it falls on a Saturday this year, Canadians now have until May 2. If you're self-employed, your deadline is extended further.

How will the pandemic impact my taxes?

Many may see changes on their tax returns due to the pandemic. This could mean owing more money if they weren’t taxed enough for previous COVID benefits or if you got a raise or changed jobs. thestar.com/content/thesta… Image

How is @pylusd supposed to implement the State mandated Ethnic Studies course if the board bans the @CADeptEd's framework for that curriculum?
Last night, during the study session the board's draft to ban the teaching of Critical Race Theory used the definition of CRT from the State's model curriculum for Ethnic Studies.
So now we are going to tank Ethnic Studies AND AP Classes? #thismakesnosense #makeitmakesense

Is buying a property feasible for younger Canadians?

To #MakeItMakeSense, the Star's @madiwongg speaks with money expert @jessi_moorhouse to explain how mortgages work and tips on how we can best prepare for them.
thestar.com/business/perso…
A recent report by Re/Max Canada found since 1996, residential unit sales have doubled and the average price has increased by 453 per cent.

With figures like these, it’s difficult to know where to start when planning or preparing to apply for a mortgage.

Simply put, mortgages are a specific type of loan that you get from a lender in order to purchase a property, whether it be your primary residence or a second property you want to rent out, Moorhouse explains.

While it may seem far into the future, there are many ways young Canadians can get a head start to better understand, prepare and plan for retirement.

To #MakeItMakeSense, money expert @jessi_moorhouse breaks it down and give us tips. thestar.com/business/perso…
There are people in their 30s and 40s who wish they started to think about it earlier. It’s why Moorhouse emphasizes not being afraid to start doing some research in your 20s.

“You may not think it applies to you right now but it will apply to future you"
thestar.com/business/perso…
For retirement there are several account options, including a Tax Free Savings Account, Registered Retirement Savings Plan as well as other taxable or unregistered accounts, Moorhouse says.

You can also invest in individual stocks, mutual funds and more.

What is a TFSA and how does it work?

In a new financial literacy series for the Star, we brought in money expert @jessi_moorhouse to #MakeItMakeSense and give us tips on how to approach TFSAs. torstar.co/5VXQ50HBhRS
While TFSAs can be used as a savings account, @jessi_moorhouse says it can also be utilized as an investment account to grow wealth or save for goals like a down payment for a home or retirement.
thestar.com/business/perso…
TFSAs are tax efficient and don’t provide any tax deductibles

This means unlike the Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) which is often bought with the intention to lower tax bills, money in a TFSA account can still sit and grow, without being taxed

Except for all intents/purposes, VA *was* TX not too long ago. The 2021 Gubernatorial election set back over a decade of hard-won progress by VA Democrats.

Y'all, I saw a post that said every hood girl has used a baby sock when they don't have a tampon. Clearly posted and shared by men. A THREAD
#makeitmakesense #periods #wtf #jokes #redflags #relatable
Baby socks aren't even big enough to stop a flow. Unless you're spotting, in which case you don't NEED a tampon, you just WANT one
If you have baby socks, it's reasonable to assume you have baby diapers which makes more sense to use than the kid's foot cover

Unacceptable, but very intentional.

We can not play surprised when:
🔹Phase 1a is 70% White
🔹 Phase 1b (65+yo) are 77% White
🔹 70% of pharmacies are in white neighborhoods
🔹 Black/Brown communities are 2x less likely to have hospital
🔹Registrations require WiFi
#DebateMe
#BlackAndBrown Americans basically have to had entered into 2020 with #OneOrganAlreadyFailing before they can qualify for the #COVIDvaccine at this point, aka #PreExistingConditions.

This is #TuskegeePartTwo: withholding a life saving intervention while you’ve studied our deaths
I’m tired of America trying to act shock that Black people die at higher rates and younger ages when your policies INTENTIONALLY set it up that way.

I refuse to play dumb in 2021.

1)THREAD: Here are some quotes and facts I shared during my #citycouncil #educationhearing testimony in favor of a SAFE reopening plan: @Zeke_Cohen @CouncilmanKB @Porter4Bmore @TonyGlover13 @TheRobertStokes @JamesTorrenceJD @CouncilmanETC @docbullock @odetteramos @CCMiddleton6
2)As teachers, we want schools buildings to be fully reopened, but not if we are jeopardizing the lives and economic stability of our kids. To avoid this harm, it is CRUCIAL that @baltcityschools commit to the following basic protections and requests from @BTUBaltimore.
3) DEMAND #1: City Schools staff are fully vaccinated before returning to their facility (both doses and waiting period to reach full efficacy);

Any plan to reopen that doesn’t include the opinion of @CTULocal1 or rank-and-file @SEIU73 workers is not one that is bargained in good faith. @ChicagosMayor and @ChiPubSchools need to listen to the voices of teachers and staff! #SafeReturnOrNoReturn
Although nearly 80% of CPS students are Black and brown, the vast majority of students requesting in-person learning are white and affluent. Exposing teachers and students of color to a deadly virus that has decimated these communities is inhumane #MakeItMakeSense
Unsafe working conditions for teachers are unsafe learning conditions for students. #WeStillTeach

The issue of Black families' trust is not only missing from school reopening plans, but also from many school reopening arguments.

But Black families make up more than 1/3 of our school district and many others, so it matters.

It absolutely matters. nytimes.com/2021/02/01/us/…
Chicago Public Schools is the third-largest school district in the U.S. In the past 20 years, our classrooms have lost more than 5,000 Black educators, which has had a negative impact on many school communities.
Some of the direct causes of this loss are Rahm's 50 school closings, terminations in Black and Brown schools as a result of turnarounds, and annual layoffs targeting high-need schools with predominantly Black student populations.

No it does NOT!! Our country is divided in 2, by 2 parties...pick one or don’t provide your useless opinions!! If you don’t vote for Biden, you give your vote to the tramp!! The repubs know this, and even when they hate tramp, they voted for him!!
They also knew the difference of voting down ballot!!

They realize the importance of party survival! But many have defected and will be voting democrat because they believe in country over party...

You believe in “me, me, me!” And fail to see your rhetoric affects our country
This Me not Us is pure bs!! You think withholding your vote affects us voting for Biden, but it affects everyone, even the people you claim to be fighting for!!

HOW CAN ANYONE RUNNING FOR PUBLIC OFFICE BE THIS VAPID AND SELFISH?! #MakeItMakeSense #Biden2020 #VoteBlue2020

Chicago is behind (again). What we see in Los Angeles is a burgeoning partnership between @UTLAnow and their district—a remote learning plan that recognizes that a) we are in a pandemic, and b) the social inequities that existed already have been exacerbated.
It isn't perfect, but it's an agreement.
We don't have that.

1/ I get the characterization of remote learning as a win.

It makes sense only bc our country has allowed politicians to turn the safety & mortality of human beings into a political contest. #COVID19 #SafeReopening
2/ Students, community groups, parents, and @CTULocal1 organized to force the mayor into making the best decision.

We shouldn’t have had to make her make that decision. An #ERSB should hv made the decision already. But, this is Chicago. #MakeItMakeSense
3/ Honestly, once #Trump said re-open schools, the decision was obvious. But, #CPS and #MLL 🤷🏾‍♀️

Victory lap? Nah. Imma pass. We still hv an extraordinary amount of work before us. #RemoteLearning

#Thread Mayoral control of #CPS has been an unmitigated disaster—#Daley, #RahmHatesUs & #MLL. Mayoral control has failed every single stakeholder in #CPS. #ERSBNow 1/
#MayoralControl has birthed some of the worst EDU policies ever.
50 schools closed.
Failed privatization schemes.
Scores of Black women educators fired.
Schools w/o nurses.
Schools w/o libraries & librarians.
The list is seems endless. #MakeItMakeSense 2/
Now another mayor & their handpicked board intends to bless a re-opening plan that puts everyone & their “mommas” in harms way. #MakeItMakeSense #ERSBNOW 3/

#ADOS random thought:

The fact Talib Kweli Greene & Jessica Aiwuyor were able to spread such misinformation about ADOS, *and so much of the blue check population quickly embraced & believed it,* says WAY more about them and the #DecadentVeil than it does about us. (1/)
I mean...

What in the Terry Crews does it take for middle-class to wealthy striver Blacks & ADOS on media platforms to embrace a belief that a group of poor & working-poor Black Americans are xenophobic white-supremacists? #ADOS #MakeItMakeSense (2/)
What does it mean, for the totality of the #ADOS who has not practically, but LITERALLY NO WEALTH that we are a group of undesirables that reaps EVERYTHING THAT WE DESERVE FROM WHITE SUPREMACY? (3/)

In a CPS community meeting with officials, parents, teachers and community members today, one of our members posed the following question in the Q&A:

"Have you prepared statements for when the first student or teacher passes away due to exposure to the virus at school?" #thread
"Know that decisions you make are putting lives at stake. Teachers are NOT comfortable with your plan. Please, it is imperative we are engaged in SOLELY remote learning, not in-person instruction."
"It's easy for you to be socially distant at CPS HQ, but would you implement this same plan if you were going to be in-class with me teaching 9th graders in a school with 3,000 students?"

I've tried over and over to get folks to see in my community how we are targeted by disinfo. All the there isn't "real impact" is about to be proven wrong with #DatRona we aren't immune to this virus no more than we are immune to disinformation and take actions we shouldn't.
Right now folks are in my mentions sharing disinfo even about my reports and what I said but have no knowledge of data, visualizations and never believe Russia interfered despite 17 agencies saying otherwise.
the really interesting part is that they are railing against elites. it's now clear they don't know what that means. They want to compare my report to some university. Isn't that elite? but I'm elite because I no longer live in the projects but I do this work. #MakeItMakeSense
