Black farmers are a major part of NJ’s agricultural landscape. Family-owned K&J Farms in South Jersey is thriving, despite challenges. @RaveSantanaNJ visited the farm to learn how the next generation is keeping the legacy of Black farmers alive. https://t.co/UJje7Y9TE6
This was the preparation for a Black Lives Matter peaceful protest this summer. Members of the National Guard were deployed near the White House ahead of peaceful protests against police brutality. Quite a difference. 🤔
We often talk about underlying health conditions and increased risk for severe illness.
An incompetent, irresponsible and poor leadership is also an underlying condition and key determinant that puts of us ALL at increased risk for illness.
Just look where Donald Trump and Mike Pence got us: more than 16 million out of work. Millions of kids who cannot go back to school. More than 165,000 lives have been cut short by coronavirus, many with loved ones who never got the chance to say goodbye.
This was preventable.
Who needs Russia when you are openly attacking the United States Postal Service to suppress the vote and undermine American democracy? And the vast majority of Republican officials nod along in their destructive self-interest.

I feel like I’m living through a bad twilight zone.
When does the stupidity stop? I’m afraid to answer my own question.
When Trump was elected, I really hoped there wouldn't be any significant epidemic or pandemic threat this nation would face during his term given his poor understanding of outbreak science, the ability to manage large scale ID events & constantly undermining public health.
Sure, blame the scientists, docs, public health professionals, epidemiologists for spreading “misinformation” about the realities & challenges of #COVID19 & believe politicians + reality TV stars & those with no medical or PH background on whats truly happening in this country🤦🏽��️
New reported #COVID19 infections in the U.S. topped 50k with 45 states reporting higher seven-day averages of new infections than a week ago.
We need a national plan. And we need it NOW.
So we have reached a place in the proud history of our republic when the topic of the day is whether the president reads. When, really, I think deep down don't we all know the answer?
Federal governments #COVID19 response: consistently inconsistent.
Instead of being 2 steps ahead of this virus, we’re 10 steps back. The US has had multiple opportunities to change the trajectory of this pandemic in this great nation yet it continuous to fail.
A viewer recently criticized one of our reporters for wearing a mask during her live shot. Our reporter was accused of falsely alarming the public by wearing a mask on the air. This after more than 120 thousand deaths in the U. S. and undeniable proof wearing masks save lives 🤨
I've responded to multiple epidemics & pandemics over the years from Ebola to Zika to Measles, each facing its own set of obstacles.I'm used to outbreaks being politicized but I've never witnessed this amount of stupidity that has plagued this pandemic from the get-go by electeds
So. Let's set the stage...
President Trump has chosen as the venue for his first rally in months, Tulsa, Oklahoma, site of a horrific massacre of African Americans. And he has set the date for June 19th, Juneteenth, a celebration of the end of slavery in the United States.
