Most helpful article I've seen re: COVID19. I'd add google your local county health department right now, save their COVID19 hotline to your phone, be a resource for family and friends. Prepare calmly. Take social distancing very seriously.

Incredibly powerful, must-watch moment.

Thank you, @esglaude.

Explain to me how you could live through the COVID19 crisis and not support Medicare for All.

There’s no doubt that in any just and decent society COVID testing, treatment & vaccines (when we have one) should be free.

Today is a good day.

[NPR @NPR]

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has upheld a key abortion rights decision — invalidating a Louisiana law that required doctors at clinics that perform abortions to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital.

Chief Justice Roberts joined the court’s four liberals.

Peaceful protest in Minneapolis. Share this. Post this. It’s not exciting, it’s not shocking, but it is POWERFUL.

[Amy Handler, MPH @amyhandler]

This.

I wrote out some thoughts on how to make this moment a real turning point to bring about real change––and pulled together some resources to help young activists sustain the momentum by channeling their energy into concrete action. https://t.co/jEczrOeFdv

More police brutality as people peacefully protest police brutality

THREAD: President Trump says these protests are professionally organized and the result of domestic terrorists and anarchists. Based on my reporting on the ground today, the vast majority of people gathering outside of the White House are everyday Americans demanding change.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Our job is to demilitarize police departments so they do not look like and act like oppressing armies.

“In the final analysis, a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it that America has failed to hear?”

We cannot allow Donald Trump to use this horrific pandemic as an opportunity to bankrupt and privatize the Postal Service. Now, more than ever, we need a strong and vibrant postal system to deliver mail 6-days a week. Congress must act now to save it. https://t.co/W0YSGHm3AH

US cases of #COVID19 rose by 5.4k yesterday - 3rd in the world behind China and Italy. let’s learn from China, South Korea, and Italy. Put fever clinics in place, increase testing capabilities, and clearly communicate: stop all movement.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Italy’s experience shows that steps to isolate affected regions and limit people’s movement need to be put in place early, with absolute clarity, then strictly enforced.

On Saturday, Italian officials reported the most coronavirus deaths in 1 day.

@Bob10092043 I’m not sure how long this will last - what I do know is, the more people that stay home, stop movement now the better and sooner we are through this.

[Amy Handler, MPH @amyhandler]

If friends/family are like "I'll start social distancing in a couple days" or "I'll just visit a couple friends" - read/watch this to help explain to them why social distancing is essential right now and as many people who can, please stay home:
