took another great @RedCross recert. class this morning, and a classmate had great a question: where are the Spanish-language classes?!? Imagine how many more lives could be positively affected! @hlfirstaid has Spanish-language classes in MKE, we need more around the state.

@LGClaret @wrathofgnon I dunno, how would a man tell her to do it? Your question allows for too many degrees of freedom to answer it succinctly, anyway.

so much anguish can be avoided if #python scripters commented with package versions. OMG people. Seriously.

disappointed in the humanity of everyone who believes might makes right.

I live in #Madison WI, where being "progressive" means the radio station plays *two* Tracy Chapman songs.

why not gentle animals? I've seen typical "boy" patterns/motifs put on girls clothes (IIRC @Bodenclothing had dinosaurs on girls clothes last year--awesome!) but #genderequity is not unidirectional.

kids clothes patterns: why do people think scary animals are okay on toddler/young kid clothing? They're especially all over boy clothes. Like, we really need to toughen up our 18 mo. - 4 year old boys to face sharks without fear?

riding in to work today, I sang to myself, "oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day, @altUSEPA's rid of a grifter, maybe more will go our way!"

I used to be astounded that Pruitt seemed to think states would merrily collaborate on environmental health costs--putting heads in sand is much cheaper and leaves more money in donors pockets! It'll be the Enrichment Protection Agency!

EPA proposes rule that the EPA propose no more rules (aimed at preventing hazardous spills). This is a test-salvo to see if the rule-making process can be used as an impediment to rule-making by future US administrations. epa.gov/rulemaking-pre…

@Angeles_NF #3!

"this is a technique that no one hopes will be used extensively or for very long." Sorry @USAGSessions, wrong answer. The technique should never be used, never ever. This very wrong and unpopular policy is making you and the whole Admin. look very bad. #KeepFamilesTogether!

Dear @realDonaldTrump: anyone negotiating from real strength doesn't need to use --and wouldn't even consider using-- the torture of children as a bargaining chip. You have the power to stop this awful policy all on your own. #KeepFamiliesTogether

the US gov. practice of separating children is an act of torture. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torture#U… thank you @SenJeffMerkley and others who are showing how U.S. taxpayers and voters are complicit. How can you call yourself or your work honorable, @USAGSessions ?

lots of #kissesatcrossings recently, even got a peace sign from a driver on N. Shore last week! Yay #bikeMadison! sigh, but where's the snow?!? :-( --

Happy to see people like @Juan_Matute pushing back against “techno-optimism” that fawns over projects that benefit only a privileged few. I don’t need to get across LA in 5 minutes, I need to be able to walk safely to the grocery store. fastcompany.com/40539622/is-el…

WTH--does this administration think its only function is to protect company profits?

here's an idea for people in #wipolitics wanting more young professionals to move to the #badgerstate--student loan forgiveness. Can you do something on the state level like this? fastcompany.com/40529206/want-…

@debh whoa. "intensively written" could become the new way to describe arrogance.

I'm also concerned about the #wipolitics #welfarereform requirement for parents to work/get training for 20-30 hrs/week. How will they be able to afford childcare, @SenatorKapenga? 20 hrs/week at minimum wage is 145$/week--more than half I pay weekly for childcare while I work!
