The messages from leaders and artists on #GlobalCitizen#TogetherAtHome : -act selflessly & think of others -bring communities together -trust science -solidarity with other nations -celebrate the WHO
A departure from the messages at daily White House coronavirus briefings
Former First Ladies Michelle Obama and Laura Bush join #TogetherAtHome. “Tonight we stand with the people of the world.”-Bush “The coming days will not be easy but this global family of ours is strong.” -Obama
OH, BOY. NOW I'm TOAST!!….Laura Bush & Our Girl Michelle Obama talkin'💔💝❤️
Anybody got a mop?? Tissues jes ain't gonna do it any more😭😢😭
Not a cheap shot to say, how wonderful, wonderful 2 see actual First LADIES, Women who command our respect & love w/o asking for them pic.twitter.com/46kkv0hRlO
That “A departure from … ” part was clear, wasn’t it, Bob. Jumped right out at us. Just wish it would jump out at “the others,” those with their blind loyalty to the sub-human in the WH.
First Ladies Michelle Obama and Laura Bush unite to do what Trump and Melania couldn’t do, LOVE EVERYONE, HAVE COMPASSION AND GRATITUDE for all the people on the front lines. For the families affected and who have lost LOVED ones.#OneWorldTogetherAtHome#GlobalCitizens#OneLovepic.twitter.com/4E86XQUrdj
Thank you to all the essential workers who are getting up every day and risking their lives on our behalf. @LauraWBush and I were honored to show our support for their heroic efforts during tonight's @GlblCtzn’s One World: #TogetherAtHome Special. https://t.co/Q3saUkv36h
On the anniversary of the Mueller Report’s release, Biden’s ad reminds us of Trump’s central strategy in the 2016 election & where he’s headed in 2020. Dems need to unite to make sure @JoeBiden is right when he says: “All the negative ads in the world can’t change the truth.” https://t.co/eA6XTJ1eKL
Science & research is going to solve the COVID-19 problem.
Thanks to all the scientists working around the clock. Thank you to health care workers around the globe who are putting their lives on the line for us all. And for the children waiting for them to come home.
May all be safe, may we all follow the protocols, and may everyone wear a mask.
Thanks for the incredible One World Together event.
Endings…beginnings.
Covid is exposing the GOP’s fraudulent conservative “principles”: They had no issues w/deficit-destroying tax cuts, yet ideology sabotages the Corona response.
Ideology is a human construct. Human constructs are a luxury when dealing w/the decimation of a humanitarian crisis.1/

Very sorry there are so many misunderstandings with on-line interactions. Always surprising to look back and figure out how something was totally misinterpreted, but not much you can do about it. (All the best!)
For the record I love Joe! He is wonderful and will do us proud.

I am exhausted…from Trump encouraging Sedition among his ignorant followers…to the MSM continuing to air
Trump’s propanda briefings…I do not know what will happen…
Trying to see a bigger picture…and not concentrate on the gloom… To see the light as well
Thank you, Sheila! I do believe this is who we are. We have to drown out and stop listening to the people that are only driven by hate. Look at all the people in Wisconsin that stood for hours and in the rain to cast a vote.
Today is the day that we celebrate Easter. I watched the services last night on line, and it has given me hope for the future.
There are alot of conspiracy theories🤥 out there re: the corona virus…be careful…Disinformation is a B*****! Be sure of what you know..before retweeting..🤔
Trump’s tax cuts for the rich & reckless spending look even worse now. I miss the fiscal responsibility of Democratic presidents like Clinton & Obama who brought down the nat’l debt while expanding the safety net, not just using taxpayer $ to line the pockets of their friends. https://t.co/LszB4sc4yR
Neiman Marcus has a huge flagship store and rotunda here in SF, as do many other major department stores.

Have to admit I went back for some belly laughs this morning. Toni Braxton’s tweets for the most definitely!
Me waking up looking at last night #TeddyRileyvBabyface tweets all over again. Toni Braxton on Twitter akkin up. Look… It might not gone as wanted but it definitely went how needed. Haven’t laughed this hearty in a min. pic.twitter.com/sMDyBioQlf
I watched da #TeddyRileyvBabyface battle live. When a dude in da live comments typed “dis shit feel like da fyre festival ” then @Tyrese typed “throw in the tile” I 😂 so hard I had respiratory issues, couldn’t smell or taste nothing, shit gave me covid 19 symptoms
Girl!!! It was a hhhhot hilarious mess! There was supposed to be this live battle of the super producers on Instagram – Teddy Riley vs Babyface. Apparently there was one with Swizzbeatz and Timbaland a few days ago (I missed that one).
Anyway, it was a complete disaster. The first half hour was Teddy and his crew setting up. 🙄Then Babyface (who is recovering from COVID, bless him) came on. It was supposed to be the two of them playing some of their biggest hits and sharing some history about the music. But Teddy’s sound was all jacked up with the most awful feedback. Babyface was all by himself. No sound problem. They went back and forth trying to play music. Teddy could barely hear Face at all. The audience couldn’t hear much of anything Teddy tried to play because of the sound problems. He had this goofy hype man dancing behind him. He and Teddy were dancing away but you couldn’t hear the music. Face was total class. He played 3 great songs starting with early work he and Teddy did together with Bobby Brown and commented about how even he was unaware of some of the big hits Teddy produced at such a young age came from
Teddy. There were at least 400,000 people online. But after an hour of them stopping and restarting cuz of Teddy’s technical crap they told the audience to sign off while they tried to work it the kinks out and come back in 30 minutes. Face posted a video that basically said we’ll do it another time. Then Teddy posted a similar video.
It was just supposed to a conversation between the two of them while they played clips of their best music while fans listened in. But Teddy decided he wanted to turn his side of it into a performance concert. The feedback was from someone in the background trying to film it for something he might have been planning to market later. He had these people in the same room with him. No one wearing masks and no one reading comments from people online trying to tell him it was his sound setup that was messed up, not Babyface’s. Naturally, as you might expect, Teddy got dragged for filth on Twitter. New memes have already started and there’s a new verb for ruining something by overdoing – to Teddy Riley it. 😂
OMG!!!! Thanks so much for all the detail. My goodness, what a mess. I didn’t know Babyface had the virus. Thank goodness he pulled through. Thank you, D.
Pastor Tony Spell Is urging people to donate their stimulus checks to his church
One of the most disgusting & shameful things I’ve read recently. This man should be prosecuted for his reckless & selfish behavior as well as the death of his parishioner https://t.co/c9esJYUSqA
I hope his followers do … that way their stupidity can be validated / justified. At least it will prove them to be bona fide. As opposed to those who protest while suited up in protective gear.
Something good under our noses but the silence is deafening:
“India’s capital is one of the world’s most polluted cities, but its skies have turned blue
and many people can see the Himalaya Mountains for the first time.”
“In Italy’s Venice, meanwhile, canal water is so clear fish can be easily seen.” (al jazeera)
Atop London you can see for miles and miles and miles.
How come? Today autos are off the streets, planes on the ground, factories closed.
The marvelous side-effect of the virus – clean air and pristine skies is everything we need to know.
Let’s sell green transportation while the evidence is blaring around the globe.
Hint: There is no clean coal. I see long trains going by headed for China every day, loaded up, and the dust flying. Europe is going electric car, gradually phasing out gas autos sales.
We don’t want coal-powered electric cars.
Yes electric cars – but not ones fueled by coal electricity!
Total US electricity generated by fossil fuels is 63%. Of that 38% natural gas, 23.5% is coal.
This must change to solar, wind, geothermal, tidal + other clean, heavenly energy sources.
All the Science points to 2030. Must get to carbon neutral by 2030.
Carbon Free by 2050.

What happened to all the children, families, men & women who were being detained at the border…
Why are no news outlets covering how this pandemic is affecting them 🆘🆘🆘🆘.
-I can’t even fathom the horror they are facing!

Oil dictators play games with the compromised criminal Trump, pressuring him to lift sanctions on the vast Siberian oil fields. The Exxon propaganda machine also fed us the idea that changes in climate are slow…that we have centuries to resolve it. No we don’t. We don’t have any more time left to play dumb corporate sponsor. We’re in the last minutes of the last scene. Half of the carbon pumped into our atmosphere is from the last 30 years.
In fact the situation was stable 30 years ago. We did this. But we can get busy (some farmers are on board) reforesting, bring back wildlife, greening urban spaces, working hand in hand with every country, and ending the fossil fuel age once and for all.
The Plan:
-Carbon Neutral 2030.
-Carbon Free 2050.

Here righty Morgan speaks clearly about the gross failure to respond to the virus in both countries, while seeming not to understand the breadth and depth of Trump’s criminality and corruption on all fronts, plus actions that destroy democracy and rule of law. Boris is the same kind of compromised empty showman, but I don’t think he’s in the same mafia league. Wake up Piers.
I’m old enough to remember when the GOP held 33 hearings and 10 investigations into the four American deaths in Benghazi.
To put this in perspective, to treat this crisis as importantly, they’d need to hold 100,000 investigations and 330,000 hearings on U.S. Covid-19 deaths.

QUESTION: How is it not a bigger story that the President of the United States is trying to *kill the United States Postal Service* so he can win re-election in November?

– Calls himself the "King of Ventilators" – Says Nancy Pelosi will be "overthrown" – Claims Pelosi is taking orders from President Xi – Trump is projecting again – I'm so sick of this guy I could vomit – Trump is going to prison – It's still only 4pm

Good morning, TODville. I hope you are all doing well despite the new reality of containing both a virus and a severely damaged GOP at the same time.
There’s been a series of photos on twitter depicting people replicating famous works of art. I especially like this one!
Frida!
These are fabulous.
I can always use a laugh and this one cracked me up!
Glad to hear it!
Wow! These are really quite extraordinary! Thanks for sharing this!
I love the different levels of imagination from all these people. Just amazing!
I totally agree. Amazing!
❤ Glad I found them in my travels!
Good Morning, Meta!
OMG! I have seen people made to look like paintings, but this is so funny.
Good Morning!

Good Afternoon, TODville Community.
Congrats, Doc Bobfr on your Au ⭐⭐🥇
Thanks, NW.
Yet another Lie…by Trump.
15 US scientists were embedded with the WHO in Dec 2019.
She can handle him. She knows how to deal with children.
When You care about your Country & joined to fixing the COVID19 cruel attacks.
Brava!
Thank you … imo – this is what a patriot does. Country above all else.
Good for her.

Yep. And some heads need to roll for the mishandling of this crisis.
