#Ukraine is the shield. They’re bleeding so we don’t have to.

Unfortunately, that’s why countries send aid - not to be nice. It’s the cheapest way to prevent a far worse war, where eventually their own soldiers and citizens are caught in the crossfire.

Only ones who should be “thankful” are us.

Dear Trump,

You claim not to need us, but you’re acting kinda possessive and desperate. Big time giving us the ick. Now listen… I know rapists don’t like taking no for an answer, but this isn’t us playing hard to get. We’re just not interested.

2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada

3. Immediate permanent residency

4. Citizenship after 2 years

Can we start calling it what it is? #CriticalRaceTheory explores how laws & policies (education, housing, jobs, justice) have created inequality for BIPOC, over time. This imbalance has stemmed from our history of colonialism/slavery, and these are facts - not an attack on white people. (1/2)

Not sure if the universe is trolling us by having the inauguration fall on #MLKDay, but here we are.
