First Trump told Congresswoman Tlaib to “go back,” ostensibly to Palestine (although she was born in Detroit). Then Trump told Bibi that Tlaib *shouldn’t” be allowed to travel to Israel and occupied Palestine. So confusing. Trump can’t even keep his racist demands straight. Retweeted by Nabil Al-Tikriti
Why does #PatientFirst charge #Aetna $189 each for #TB tests required by #StaffordCountyPublicSchools for attendance in #Virginia? The service is provided free by the county, & costs $20 & a competitor if one is uninsured. How is this just? That's our money at the end of the day!

This thread is truly incredible. In all my academic years I have never seen this degree of plagiarism not even at the undergraduate level. Why would international institutions have any faith in Uysal? Everyone he meets will know about it and know he is a fraud. How debilitating. https://t.co/gC0pOaFz5G

Gotta love the ship's name, "Yavuz". It's the nickname for Sultan Selim I (d. 1520), the conqueror of the Mamluk Empire and one who defeated the Safavids, after executing nearly all his male relatives. The name originally meant "wicked", but now means "bold". twitter.com/AJENews/status…
