Irrfan Khan has passed away from cancer at 53. Ugh! May he rest in peace!
I first saw him in Slumdog Millionaire. Loved him in The Life of Pi and The Lunchbox (such a good movie). You may also remember him from A Mighty Heart, The Darjeeling Limited, In Treatment, The Amazing Spider-Man, Jurassic World and Inferno among others.
Woke up to the sad news that Irrfan Khan has died at 53. One of those absolutely reliable character actors and not-often-enough leads ("The Lunchbox") who made a movie better just by showing up. An arthouse star in India, a sure bet in H'wood films. RIP to a class act. pic.twitter.com/g80at3GBGC
As I've said before, withholding humanitarian assistance for political reasons from your own citizens can be defined as a crime against humanity. https://t.co/FT50ZbTMAJ
July is 2 months away. Where are the tests-antigen (do you have #covid19) & antibody (have you had it)? Where are the national plans for: -contact tracing -isolating asymptomatic patients with dignity -treating all patients on best available evidence -protecting our frontline? https://t.co/mmVzLHUdLJ
The federal courts will project Trumpism well into the 21st century unless enough people in swing states vote for Biden in November. The cost for constitutional democracy and the rule of law will be incalculable https://t.co/6SzHgJYnXc

Heck yeah! When everyone votes, it’s all good! Vote to put Virus45 in a deserved straightjacket. End of worldwide nightmare.
Then when Virus45 is out, hold all those enablers & grifters accountable. Off shore accounts aren’t so quiet anymore. Bet US banks are still not willing to lend his ass even a farthing! He’s a sick hyena.

America 2020, the land of Trump CDC:
Knowing that thousands of meat packing workers have been infected
and are taking COVID-19 home to their families and communities;
Trump has signed an executive order to keep meat packing plants open in open and deadly disregard for lives in rural communities, sparse hospital systems, fragile small towns (imo where people are watching Fox).
After decades of strict protocols and detailed instructions insisted upon by the CDC,
Trump is overseeing a new kind of CDC
that will allow corporations to do what they want.
This will lead to a deadly resurgence of the virus after months of diligent effort by Americans and their families who have been staying at home to take care of themselves and their communities.
In the tri-state area of SD, NB, IO, where governors are for reopening up states that they never closed,
thousands of employees have tested positive.
In the Greeley plant after testing started and 40% of supervisors and managers tested positive, testing was ended.
When Trump is giving meat corporations the executive order go-ahead, he is giving them freedom from liability.
This death sentence for workers comes without any requirement to test.

Morning everyone. Definitely no the behavior of someone with nothing to hide, but by all means , CHRIS HAYES, keep trying to be ‘fair’ on the Me Too Era! I turned the damn tv off when he started that shit yesterday.

URGENT THREAD – Over the course of the month Joe Biden has been accused of sexual assault by a woman named Alexandra Tara Reade. While all women should be heard, Tara Reade's allegations are not credible. In this thread I will outline all of the reasons why. (thread)
I posted a few articles above as well. This woman isn’t credible IMO…. and makes it harder for those women to come forward that really were assaulted. She is doing a disservice.
I was really disappointed that Chris Hayes discussed this on his show. There was nothing solid that the lady could present, but he gave her way to much time.
One year ago, Riley Howell had no option to run or hide. So he fought. Howell took the fight to a gunman inside a UNCC classroom, giving his life to save others. For his bravery, he was posthumously awarded a Purple Heart and Bronze Star #CharlotteStrong | https://t.co/uITqVx8nCgpic.twitter.com/QNdbKHCSuV

Good morning, TOD! Nerdy, THANK YOU!
Please don’t believe this Tara Reade nonsense.
I do NOT believe her one bit. Biden was VP for eight years and we never heard anything about this. Not buying it.
Thank you!!
I sent this around:) How perfect is this, alycee!
Morning!
OH, WOW. Thanks for this!!

Good morning TOD folks! Those are horror stories and the sad part they are not unique. We have to pray for our brothers and sisters through this time.

the newly Democratic Senate passes all the bills passed by the HOUSE….
be ready to fight like hell..to get the Health crisis under control..
Heck yeah! When everyone votes, it’s all good! Vote to put Virus45 in a deserved straightjacket. End of worldwide nightmare.
Then when Virus45 is out, hold all those enablers & grifters accountable. Off shore accounts aren’t so quiet anymore. Bet US banks are still not willing to lend his ass even a farthing! He’s a sick hyena.
I don’t blame them one bit.
Right ON Right ON!!
I think he should choose who he thinks is best for him:) Fingers crossed for Kamala.
