In the last 3 weeks, millions of members (a 4,665% increase vs. 3 wks prior) have sought out 13TH, Ava DuVernay’s essential doc about the intersection of race, justice, and mass incarceration in the US.
Great choice for a new Post, Nerdy. Thoughtful and needed. It shows that some who have been sleeping are awakening and becoming enlightened.

US intelligence officials have presented information to lawmakers and presidential campaigns indicating Russia is behind an ongoing disinformation push targeting presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, according to sources familiar with the matter. https://t.co/kiOJmLqoUj
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.
Jerry Falwell Jr., one of Trump's most prominent and controversial evangelical supporters, will take an indefinite leave of absence from Liberty University. The executive committee of the Board of Trustees made the request on behalf of the entire board. https://t.co/5MxpHrGy2H
I would've died in Iraq if my buddies hadn't risked their lives to save mine. From the moment I woke up in Walter Reed, I've spent each day trying find a way to repay them and all those who serve our nation.
On this Purple Heart Day and always, let us remember all those willing to sacrifice so much for the country they love. Honoring all those wounded & wearing Purple Hearts today.

So, does this mean that while I was working with a world famous interior designer that she SHOULD have called the material THIGHSILK, rather than Thai silk? 😂😂😂😂Who knew!!
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.
Long thread… As I anxiously await news of VP Selection along with millions of #KHive today, I am taking a moment to reflect on what it has meant to me to be part of the beautifully diverse & passionate #KHive & why I believe she is THE VP candidate for this moment in history.. pic.twitter.com/UYbgrtiZeh

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.

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.

Well now he’ll have time to campaign for Twitler as much as he wants.
