Too many grocery chain CEOs continue to treat their workers as expendable. This is utterly unacceptable. It's time to reinstate hazard pay for all of America's grocery workers.
Trump & his Postmaster are sabotaging @USPS.

Trump lies about everything, but the Congressman is always so spot on:)
I told my staff to cut and paste the ObamaCare law into a bill I’m going to introduce next week. I’m going to call it the Affordable Care Act. I want to be just as cool as @realDonaldTrump and repeat what is already in existing law. https://t.co/89jdDgeFPQ
I am one of the 135 million Americans that has a pre-existing condition. I know one thing if I had a pre-existing condition, no matter what party I belong to. I’d vote for the party that isn’t trying to put their foot up my ass. And the fact that their are millions of Americans that have a pre-existing condition, and who need all the help they can get, and who are dying to vote for Trump is fucking insane to me.
Sad to think that there are those whose racism, xenophobia, misogyny and/or homophobia supersedes their need for affordable healthcare [and jobs with living wages, national security, and a safe environment].
… is nothing short of the transformation of an American political party — the Republicans — into an arm of a hostile foreign power. The Republican Party is not really the party of Trump. They are the party of Russia. That is a scary but unfortunately real thing.

What .@maddow is describing right now, between Republican Senators laundering Russian agitprop into fake investigations of Joe Biden, to the gutting of the Postal Service, to Pompeo having to sneak to warn Russia not to kill our troops while Trump talks to Putin EIGHT TIMES…

The party had already descended into a racial-cultural insurgency, but this is even worse. There is almost nothing left of Abe Lincoln's party beyond racial grievance, demographic panic, greed & ruthless cruelty, Islamophobia, Xenophobia, anti-democracy and a cult of personality.

The Postal Service has informed states that they’ll need to pay first-class 55-cent postage to mail ballots to voters, rather than the normal 20-cent bulk rate. That nearly triples the per-ballot cost.https://t.co/d9bsW7pM05

Over the last century, America has defined itself by rising to meet existential challenges — and we have that opportunity once again. But we can’t just build back to the way things were before, we have to build back better.
They should be made to live on $600 (before taxes) a week. Better yet, live on what *they* think is acceptable. [What was it? $200/week? $400/week?] That would mean finding housing — including utilities — in their city/state. [If an apartment, what kind of neighborhood and conditions will it be located. ] Food and clothing…the minimal requirement to just survive. With no outside resources [safety net] to supplement that income, how long and how well will they be able to do what they expect others to be able to do?

Trump’s Friday Night Massacre at USPS is him cheating in the 2020 election. It should disqualify his candidacy and he should be forced to resign. But Republicans won’t do anything, because they’re in on it. So we have to vote them all out by a landslide. Enough is enough.
I was taking care of a patient the other day who was very seriously injured. And I stepped out to talk to his family briefly and give them an update. For context, he was Black. I told them what was going on quickly and asked if they had any questions. And this is what they said.
They told me that he worked for [well known company] And that he was a [respected role] at that company That he was on his way to work That he is loved in the community A good brother and son That he was well dressed before the blood soaked his clothes
Nothing in recent memory has broken my heart as much as gradually realizing that a family of a shattered man
whose chief concerns should have been – when can i see him, when does he get out of surgery, do you know his meds and allergies, his mama gets to go in first…
…had to worry that the racism inherent in the system and in people everywhere meant they had to spend their few moments with me putting him in a favorable light, shifting any possible implicit negative frame I had (e.g., "hoodlum" or "criminal") to get him the care he deserved.
What is the goal of all our anti-racist pledges over the past summer? It's that this family can walk in with full confidence that their loved one is valued and cherished here and that we will fight for his life with everything we have, no questions asked.
I had one minute to the next trauma. I babbled stuff incoherently and am pretty sure I got it wrong. The words of one random disheveled Asian doctor don't change much against a lifetime of experience to the contrary. But I will carry this with me. We have so much work to do.
