I hate to tell you, but as somebody from rural America, there are going to be so many uncounted deaths during this pandemic.

Poor Americans are taught not to get medical care, are riddled with preexisting conditions, and local journalism has been absolutely destroyed.

‘Murica !

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

$33.4 billion. That's how much the wealth of Jeff Bezos and six other billionaires increased last week while millions of Americans were filing for unemployment.

Our society cannot sustain itself when so few have so much, while so many have so little. https://t.co/XwlhIXTMzS

Actually just furious that my aunt died.

Racist fucks

[StanceGrounded @_SJPeace_]

A Black doctor in Miami, A HERO, who has been testing the homeless for COVID-19 because "the state is failing to protect them" was racially profiled and detained outside his home while he was unloading his van.

HIS NAME IS DR. HENDERSON.

KNOW HIS NAME!

Trump: My authority is total but my responsibility is zero. What leadership.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Leilani Jordan said she wasn't given gloves or hand sanitizer.

Now this grocery worker is dead at 27 over a $20.64 paycheck.

Is this what America is about? Or will we fight for protective gear, hazard pay, and paid sick leave for all frontline workers?https://t.co/rpkOV0z69B

Dr Fauci, who is leading the US response to coronavirus, says the country 'could have saved lives' with earlier action

Not all heroes wear capes. Some spread misinformation about coronavirus:

[KTLA @KTLA]

“Do not take this virus as a joke. It’s a scary experience. It’s scary to fight for your life,” the 25-year-old woman said following 10 days in a medically induced coma and on a ventilator. “Stay healthy, stay home.” https://t.co/5yKu9S8A40

I’ve almost finished reading @KathSStewart’s superb book, The Power Worshippers. Here is one of her excellent New York Times columns. Others are listed below.

Joe Biden cannot defeat Trump w/o young people. He lost their vote in nearly every primary! Not just the under-30 vote but the under-40 vote, too. And, in a few places, the under-50s! Ignore this at your own peril. A letter 2 Joe from the youth of America: https://t.co/FW6fPZp7ws

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Sometimes it still stops me in my tracks that because I believe insulin should be free, workers shld be paid justly, we shld house the homeless and not cage families, & that all people should be free to pursue education as they wish,for THAT we are treated as radical & dangerous.

[Rachel Maddow @maddow]

This animated graphic from the BBC shows the worldwide progression of the pandemic through this week. It's worth watching.

Watch, in particular, for the appearance of the US at the beginning of March, and then the speed at which the US epidemic takes off.

Here are some of the most effective ways that fans can contribute financially to artists and music industry workers in need.

Once again Trump attacks a journalist and the rest of the reporters do nothing about it.

You have to stand behind each other.

Why don't you all get up and walk the fuck out for once and leave that fat, orange drugged up Twinkie and media whore without journalists to bark at.

So fucked @ASCAP

[Patrick Joseph @PatrickJoseph]

Hey @ASCAP - care to explain why royalty payment was quietly moved from April 6 all the way to April 28?

Lot of posturing about helping artists & writers during #COVID19 but depriving writers of their royalties is possibly the most harmful thing you could do to them right now.
