Compelled to hop on here after many many months just to let @samreich know that he tapped into a very niche fandom with this prompt and inspired a resurgence of a very fun OR Pol tradition.
Also, @samreich, you often joke about your dad not getting your chosen career, but if it’s any consolation, you can let him know that you’re more popular among Senate staffers in Oregon than he is. 💁🏻♀️

As a survivor of sexual assault and workplace harassment, I have just *two words* to say to the four men with a political ax to grind who defended the “right to abuse power” in today’s conduct hearing on Diego Hernandez…
No. Stop.
(Two words that abusers hate hearing.) #orpol
Today's hearing is just abusers attempting to rewrite history, and four men with a political ax to grind attempting to erase the voices of all of the survivors who came forward. Another example of bad behavior. Stop - Just stop. #ORPOL

Standing up to abuses of power isn’t bullying. A responsible person in leadership must investigate reports of misconduct & if needed remove the problematic actor from the environment—standard HR practices. Don’t equate one’s poor reactions to accountability as bullying. #orpol

I’ve covered student debt obsessively for the past 6 years for a documentary (coming soon!). One of the most misunderstood parts of this debate is: folks with graduate degrees. Many seem to think this group is all rich (or soon to be). This is weird & incorrect.
Quick thread…

I mean, not a lot weird. Just a little.
What links Viking and Greek myths? Why does Anubis have a dog head? Watch author @neilhimself get a little too weird about minotaurs and answer questions about #mythology.

Not allowed to invite students to share their pronouns? You can do an activity where students write short bios in the third person.
Whether it’s shoplifting, political spinning, or just nailing that selfie, deception is all about angles and coverage.
Every bearded dude that complains that makeup is “false advertisement” should be forced to shave.
We know you’re trying to hide that weak chin, Jimothy.
We can tell.

The MAGA folks worry that if the FBI can search Trump’s home, they could be next. But they never worry that if the police can shoot Breonna Taylor in her own home, they could shoot them dead, too.
See the disconnect?

Got chatted up at the airport for my Magic the Gathering necklace so I’m definitely in Seattle.
Petition to switch the “Pain Scale” from a numerical value to a list of activities that are impeded by the level of pain you’re in.

The Canadian leg of my recent flight required passengers to wear masks and they did. The US leg of the same trip (with many of the same ppl) did not require it and most didn’t. Reject the notion that public health must bend to what people will do anyway. It can lead.

In the past few hours many of us have watched the discussion regarding classified documents & their appropriate storage.
Since like most senior officers I had some experience in this area, I thought it would be helpful to provide some BASIC info.
So, this new 🧵is born! 1/21
