Authoritarian governments, such as China and Russia, seize on existing racial divisions to argue that the US doesn’t live up to its own ideals. They did not create these divisions but relish in exacerbating them. Protect #CivilRights #SocialJustice #vote foreignaffairs.com/articles/2020-…
1/11 I wish CDC would review this on regular media briefings but since they aren’t being allowed to, for 3rd week in a row I will summarize what I see as the most important findings of #Covid-View - the single best source of information on the pandemic. bit.ly/30Fj11C
Evolution Made Really Smart People Long to Be Loners. For most people, frequent contact with good friends makes us feel content. That is, unless you’re really, really smart. getpocket.com/explore/item/e… via @Pocket
I agree with @RadioFreeTom and @JuliaGaffield I prefer classroom teaching over online instruction, but it is unwise to place educators, staff, and students at risk by opening classrooms. Until we find a safer way, the #coronavirus risk is just too deadly. #COVID19
*raises hand* I'm one of them. I am not a fan of remote teaching and I wish we were all in the classroom. But this thing ain't over. And while I'm not too worried about a lecture in a hall with properly distancing students, I'm not sure how we do anything smaller than that.
Federal funding for the Predict surveillance program was terminated in September 2019, only months before the #Covid19 #pandemic began. On April 24 2019, the Trump administration directed the NIH to cut off that support. #coronavirus undark.org/2020/06/08/for… via @undarkmag
SOUND THE ALARM! Congress is trying to pass the EARN IT act, a bill that would lead to mass surveillance and censorship of the Internet, letting the government monitor and silence us. Sign the petition! NoEarnItAct.org via @idltweets
The NFL did the unthinkable. Goodell apologizes for ignoring the problem of racism and police brutality in America. theguardian.com/sport/2020/jun…
Protests about police brutality are met with more police brutality. The use of teargas, batons, pepper spray, fists, feet, and vehicles against protesters has sparked lawsuits and international condemnation. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
De-escalation Keeps Protesters And Police Safer. Departments Respond With Force Anyway. 53eig.ht/36QorYJ
The success of vaccines in eradicating so many deadly diseases is precisely why the anti-vaxx movement has gained ground. “Vaccines have done away with the evidence of how frightening polio, diphtheria, typhus, measles + mumps were." #COVID19 #coronavirus gu.com/p/ev8jp/stw

Only Congress can change day of an election. Constitution: Trump-Pence term ends at noon Jan 20, 2021 Reps should get behind this bill b/c if something goes wrong w/the election the Speaker of the House assumes the powers of the presidency under the Presidential Succession Act.
There's a bill pending to allow all voters to vote by mail in November, thanks to Ron Wyden and Amy Klobuchar This is the solution to an election in a #pandemic pandemic. Please call your senators (202) 224-3121 to urge them to support it. #COVID19 #Coronavirus @phillipsoninst
Bad news. After saying they wanted to join us in helping workers, families, and small + midsized businesses that are going under, Trump and McConnell have taken a total U-turn. They just want to bail out big corporate cronies at everyone else’s expense. Unacceptable.
Thank you to @JudgeClayJ for declaring the #dallaslockdown. This will save lives from #COVID19 and #FlattenTheCurve. It is time for @HoustonTX to do the same. @HarrisCoJudge @LinaHidalgoTX @SylvesterTurner
DOA. McConnell’s stimulus allows Mnuchin to use his “discretion” to dole out $500 billion AND allow some corporate buybacks. How much would Trump hotels get, I wonder? apple.news/AdqzkI1WARnCQs…
Fox “News” reported ignorance as news. It denied/downplayed reality. It reported the opposite of news. And it contributed to the spread of the virus. “By January, Lachlan Murdoch knew the virus was coming. He’d been getting regular updates...” nytimes.com/2020/03/22/bus…
Trump is incompetent, dishonest and profoundly indecent. His staggering incapacity for moral leadership in this unprecedented moment is hard to overstate. His empty boasting, dishonesty, blame gaming, lack of empathy and fragile ego are a deadly combination of traits right now
"I asked Ashish Jha, the director of the Harvard Global Public Health Institute, who appeared on Fox News recently, whether he believes people will die because of Fox’s coverage. “Yes,” he said." nytimes.com/2020/03/22/bus…
Some studies on other #Coronaviruses, including Sars and Mers, found they can survive on metal, glass and plastic for as long as 9 days, unless they are properly disinfected. Some can hang around for up to 28 days in low temperatures. #COVID19 #coronavirus bbc.com/future/article…
