In an unprecedented move, the editors of the New England Journal of Medicine have condemned the Trump administration for its response to the Covid-19 pandemic — and calling for the current US leadership to be voted out of office
There was a time in history where I couldn't have become an RN much less go to college especially alongside WW. There was a time when black nurses couldn't work with white patients or could ONLY work the night shift. Sure, the white male patriarchy made these rules but WW
have a hard time seeing WW as true allies. Having said this, I know some WW who have come out hard against white supremacy & they paid dearly for it. The punishment was done specifically to discourage other WW from trying to challenge white supremacy again which has & still is
In January, I said President Trump was the worst possible leader to deal with a public health crisis. And everything we’ve been through in the months since has proven that to be true. pic.twitter.com/twcy3Ql0Xc
Looks like Trump’s terrorist pals are at code panic ….
The dramatic and desperate increase in Twitter bots seeking to foment instability in Iran is directly related to the fear of Saudi/UAE/Israel that Trump will lose in November, and hence, these are the last few weeks they can try to instigate a civil war in Iran…

I would estimate around 98% of the general public & even 90+% of politically engaged Democrats underestimate just what a 6-3 conservative majority on SCOTUS means. It endangers all kinds of stuff most Americans don't even know is up for debate. https://t.co/f69xjp2TfA

I just voted my AZ ballot and was reminded that Gov. @DougDucey expanded the AZ state Supreme Court via from 5 to 7 justices in 2016. Which he then packed with his dependable right wing cronies. Republicans, YOU ARE HYPOCRITES.

My fellow California TOD Peeps, beware f@$%kery and shenanigans with fake ballot drop off boxes popping up throughout our state. NO state is safe from this BS!
In a photo posted to social media last week, a young man wearing a mask with Orange County congressional candidate Michelle Steel’s name on it is holding a mail ballot and giving a thumbs up next to a box about the size of a file cabinet labeled “Official ballot drop off box.”
The post, from Jordan Tygh, a regional field director for the California Republican Party, encouraged people to message him for “convenient locations” to drop their own ballots.
The problem is the drop box in the photo is not official – and it could be against the law.
The California Secretary of State has received reports in recent days about possible unauthorized ballot drop boxes in Fresno, Los Angeles and Orange counties, agency spokesman Sam Mahood said Sunday evening. Reports place such boxes at local political party offices, candidate headquarters and churches.

Today's sham hearing – on a holiday, 22 days from Election Day, during a COVID-19 outbreak in the Judiciary Committee with a likely-exposed Chairman who won't get tested – shows just how far the GOP will go to steal another Supreme Court seat & hand our courts over to extremists.
Happy Indigenous People's Day! May we use the day to reflect on and uplift the voices of Indigenous People who are without a doubt critical to this nation existing beginning with this talk👇🏿by @zhaabowekwe:
Senators with taxpayer-funded health insurance are huddling in a chamber with a woman whose nomination ceremony was a super spreader event to confirm her to a stolen Supreme Court seat during a pandemic so she can take health insurance away from tens of millions of Americans.
You have already packed the Court with incompetent judges and corrupt appointment processes. We will simply UNpack it and undo the corruption the Federalist Society has brought to the appointment process. https://t.co/YM6bq6SPNb
I don't want Hillary's emails. I want Trump's taxes, his medical records, Ivanka's security clearance documents, and the translator's notes from Helsinki.
Over 9.3M voters have cast ballots in the #2020Election. Voters are being denied voice as the Senate races forward with the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett.
This is the first time in history that a hearing is happening as voters are actively casting ballots in a pres. election.

Good morning! Voting is underway at @StateFarmArena here in downtown Atlanta. This is believed to be the largest early voting site in Georgia history. This is the main entrance are Gate 2.

The question itself is just recycling of GOP Catholic-baiting talking points BUT @JoeBiden knows that the issues aren't about her faith, they are about healthcare and preserving American democracy. Everything else is bait. https://t.co/FtMk2jidiy
2. Barack Obama won to elections by wide margins, yet was denied the chance to put Garland on the Court. Trump lost the popular vote in 2016 and is trampling precedent to, yes, pack the court. George W. Bush lost the popular vote yet wasn't denied the chance to fill court seats
4. democracy. So remember, if you're watching this is about stealing a seat on the court, it's about nullifying your vote. Your vote in 2000, 2008, 2012 2016 and 2020.
I just spoke to staff from @GaSecofState about the lines. They tell me they are not getting alerts & calls to their technical staff about problems with machines or tech – they say they knew there would be lines on day 1 – it’s a volume issue as so many people head to vote day 1
This number is now operational after being out during the morning. SOS office tells me staff who answer this line were off for the state holiday – now they’ve brought people in to answer phone rest of the day https://t.co/0SV9UIWKrw
