That delta cases exploded in Missouri, a state with one of the lowest vaccination rates proves that the "Show-Me" state didn't learn from one of the wildest stories in the history of smallpox in the United States. A short thread 1/8
Very little to add to this heavy-as-hell quote from the chief of emergency services at the hospital where I (on-site, in normal times) work. https://t.co/RdyEcQoQzX
It was in decline when black people had limbs severed to dare to read God's word. Had His word stolen from them as large passages of the Bible were omitted for fear they would cause a rebellion.
The decline of Christianity on American soil occured with the massacre of Natives and the perverse butchering of the Bible to use the word of God to defend the slave trade.
The whole purpose of allowing white ppl to storm Capitol like this is to remind everyone of the rules of race in USA. It’s to make it threateningly clear to all that, should they choose, the white power establishment can carry out more massacres like they have throughout history
Today, domestic terrorists attacked a foundation of our democracy: the peaceful transfer of power following free elections.
We must reestablish the rule of law and hold them accountable.
Democracy is fragile. Our leaders must live up to their responsibility to protect it.
Thank you @Slate and especially @juliacraven for giving me the platform to discuss what #COVID19 means for Black Americans and how the pandemic will reinforce racialized health disparities.

friendly reminder that
a) the public health experts all warned us that the plan working would look like we did too much
and
b) a lot of people are still getting very sick and dying
and
c) if it turns out that fewer people get sick & die that is a very good thing
@harvardmed@NPR Additionally, former @Harvardmed student, now Dr. @stacycjones, is featured in this @NPR article, talking about the challenges she and other students faced and the support they needed. You still have a lot of work to do, HMS!!
Actually, every single 21st century presidential candidate did the opposite. Mitt Romney is running for U.S. Senate as a carpetbagger. John McCain returned to the U.S. Senate. John Kerry returned to the U.S. Senate. Otherwise, great point Erick! https://t.co/sLnMXeB4Y4
Hey @DLoesch - You ok with your @NRA Board member and your personal friend Ted Nugent saying this about the Parkland children/gun violence survivors? https://t.co/y26CQ5BMVL
Conspiracy theories are dangerous for many reasons. Among other things, they provide a way to reduce mental distress by changing our perception of a problem without actually doing anything to solve the problem. They're the mental equivalent of a pacifier.
