5+ million cases, heading towards 200,000 dead. @MarkMeadows @marcshort45 @Alyssafarah @kayleighmcenany are murderers. What else do you call people who purposefully, by design, let 1000 people die a day in the United States unnecessarily? 1/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-struggled-summer-coronavirus/2020/08/08/e12ceace-d80a-11ea-aff6-220dd3a14741_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-banner-main_virustrump733pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory-ans
. @realDonaldTrump @VP @IvankaTrump and her husband are murderers. While tens of thousands of families mourn their loved ones, these people sit in the @WhiteHouse congratulating themselves, spinning lies with cold calculated nonchalance. It's grotesque. 2/ https://www.sciencealert.com/more-than-death-covid-has-unleashed-a-tidal-wave-of-grief-on-america
Some people are going to be sick for years. And yesterday @POTUS killed the payroll tax that provides support for healthcare and disable people. What do you call people who do this? Why are we pussyfooting around? 3/ https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/07/brain-fog-heart-damage-covid-19-s-lingering-problems-alarm-scientists
We could begin to stop #COVID19 tomorrow. But it's one party--the @GOP--who stands in the way. This isn't partisanship, it's simply the facts, there are not both sides to obstruction. @GOPChairwoman leads a party committed to the deaths of thousands. 4/ https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/08/opinion/sunday/coronavirus-response-testing-lockdown.html?action=click&module=Opinion&pgtype=Homepage
And then there are the enablers in Congress, chief among them @senatemajldr from whom doing nothing is better than doing the right thing, because it doesn't serve his political goals, has nothing for him to gain personally by opposing the President. 5/ https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/04/20/how-mitch-mcconnell-became-trumps-enabler-in-chief
The rosiest of the models predicts 300,000 by the end of the year. That's more than all wars except WW2 in the 20th century combined. These people are all responsible for each and every death. 6/ https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/08/06/900000671/300-000-deaths-by-december-9-takeaways-of-the-newest-covid-19-projections
Thanks to @jdawsey1 @PhilipRucker @yabutaleb7 @costareports. There is no hedging here, no both sides nonsense. It's a monumental story--it charts out a plan to have no plan, which is a plan to KILL. It's criminal negligence or worse. 7/ https://www.thenation.com/article/society/coronavirus-trump-crimes/
And #SARSCOV2 is NOT going away. The hype about a vaccine, the moronic predictions from @realDonaldTrump "It’s going away. It’ll go away. Things go away." Well, scientists are gaming out things into 2021 now. 8/ https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-02278-5
. @realDonaldTrump has blood on his hands. No one in polite society in Washington DC will say it. But he is a stone-cold killer. How many more have to die? 9/
Nobel Prize winner @JosephEStiglitz has said the same thing, in April. 10/ https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/trump-joe-stiglitz-coronavirus-deaths-cases-us-nobel-prize-a9463666.html
. @GOP governors like @dougducey also have blood on their hands. Anyone who has lost someone to #COVID19 knows it. None of this had to happen. It was allowed to by politicians. 11/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/07/10/coronavirus-obituary-blames-arizona-ducey/
I am not dehumanizing anyone. I am simply telling you that what I see is murder-by-public-policy & that there are individuals who have given consent to this, are at the controls of this death-machine. We can't say we didn't see it coming. From 2016. 12/ https://lithub.com/the-banality-of-donald-trump/
Why are we waiting until November? All of us-in every profession-need to throw themselves on the gears, make this stop. Otherwise, we are bystanders. Smelling the stench of the dead and doing nothing. 13/ https://www.thenation.com/article/society/protest-survive-aids-coronavirus/
They are destroying what is left of us. Just tearing up everything that could help, while doing nothing to help at all. It's just disgusting, vile and evil. 14/ https://twitter.com/ASlavitt/status/1292395370136457216
So retweet and retweet, get your friends together (socially distanced!) and do something. We all have power and there is strength in numbers. Want some hints on how to get started? Go here. end/ http://explore.beautifultrouble.org/#-1:00000
