A @Portland_State University grad student was recording the national anthem for their online graduation.
A stranger walked by and heard her. This is what happened:
🇺🇸
Democratic lawmakers have proposed a sweeping nationwide ban on facial recognition software, with a bill that seeks tough new limits on the technology at all levels of government https://t.co/AZChgsEckN
The realization that we've been locked at home for seven weeks merely to get to a point of treading water - and that we don't have any national plan to do better than that - is just maddening. Just a historic failure of leadership.
"Mr. Trump has become frustrated with Dr. Fauci’s blunt approach at the briefing lectern, which often contradicts things the president has just said, according to two people familiar with the dynamic." https://t.co/MCp3y0ACGS
THREAD: I mostly talk about movies on here, but here goes. We are currently pivoting our factory to solely make surgical masks and other medical garments in short supply. We can make 2 million masks a day, and are looking to help in any way possible during this time. #COVID19
I get the sense that this is not only the low point of the Trump presidency but the low point of the American presidency ever. Has any president ever been this overmatched by a crisis?
.@realDonaldTrump - we know many of the same people in NY. Behind your back they laugh at you & call you a carnival barking clown. They know you inherited a fortune & squandered it with stupid deals and incompetence.
I have the record & the resources to defeat you. And I will.
On the same day:
- Two prosecutors have resigned from the DOJ to protest the administration’s intervention to lighten the sentence of one of Trump’s accomplices
- The Senate GOP blocked votes on three bills to secure our elections
The rule of law & our democracy are in crisis.
