3 Things Biden Can Do Right Now to Stop Covid and Save Lives via @thenation https://t.co/6i3ZYdLQHc

[Miriam Markowitz @MiriMarkow]

Stop complaining and do something about the vaccine apartheid you created. Or the next variant will be worse, and that won’t be the fault of antivaxxers. It will be yours.

[Miriam Markowitz @MiriMarkow]

Given that old people are not suffering side effects and got their vaxxes before everyone else, they should stop whining and listen. You were the lucky ones at the rest of the world’s expense.

[Miriam Markowitz @MiriMarkow]

Variants are big business for pharma, and they always knew it. The most important thing right now is that hoarded US vaxxes reach the Global South, not that the US go on a mandatory vax campaign that is too politicized to work.

[Miriam Markowitz @MiriMarkow]

Right now no one can sue pharma for adverse reactions like mine. I wrote to both @moderna and @pfizer. Both gaslighted me about side effects among younger women and the autoimmune. They don’t care if we die, or even if we get protection. I may not have antibodies.

[Miriam Markowitz @MiriMarkow]

1. Vaccine mandates are unethical and will backfire. If someone tried to make me do this again after my first two shots I would shoot them with something worse than Moderna. Without competitive pressure, pharma will never invest in safer vaccines for women and sick people.

@AllenFrancesMD Trying to get in touch with you about a book I'm writing on bipolar disorder and pathology.

[Miriam Markowitz @MiriMarkow]

@SamAdlerBell And they know, man.

[Miriam Markowitz @MiriMarkow]

@SamAdlerBell Queued.

[Miriam Markowitz @MiriMarkow]

@SamAdlerBell This is a hellscape. Why do you bother?

[Miriam Markowitz @MiriMarkow]

As a white person, I'd prefer a person of color, because white people are mostly terrible, but we can't get everything we want. (2/2)

[Miriam Markowitz @MiriMarkow]

As a younger person, I would rather have an old person who is looking out for young people as president than someone my age who isn't. As a woman, I want someone who is good for my gender rather than a person who shares it. (1/2)

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Truly incredible: in ~2 hours, we’ve raised $30,000 for 3 bold swing seat Dems.

This is politically powerful, bc it shows Dems that grassroots will mobilize time & resources when we choose to act courageously.

Crazy, but can we do $50k before midnight?

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The @DCCC’s new rule to blacklist+boycott anyone who does business w/ primary challengers is extremely divisive & harmful to the party.

My recommendation, if you’re a small-dollar donor: pause your donations to DCCC & give directly to swing candidates instead.

Some great ones:

@SamAdlerBell Only you can prevent forest fires.

[Miriam Markowitz @MiriMarkow]

I'll own this but don't @ me if you're going to be an asshole. Thanks.

[Sam Adler-Bell @SamAdlerBell]

I think my friend @MiriMarkow gets this exactly right.

The problem with Mueller was always that he provided liberals a fantasy of escaping this mess without organizing. That the one we were waiting for was someone other than ourselves. So don't gloat; organize.

[Miriam Markowitz @MiriMarkow]

@SamAdlerBell Maybe I need a new look for 2020. I did fix my hair, btw.

[Miriam Markowitz @MiriMarkow]

Seriously, going high when they go low keeps the discourse sane and the narrative under our control. The first rule of #Bernie2020 is don't be a dick.

[Fred @WaywardWinifred]

This is the first of many tweets where I will be urging the internet to keep it WHOLESOME. We are gonna work hard. Make new friends. And be chill and cool and nice to each other.
