Pakistani and Baloch activists - can anyone put me in touch with the doctors in Quetta? We want a speaker for an international zoom meeting on health worker action tomorrow night. @MahrangBaloch5 @NealeSayles

The consensus estimate for today’s unemployment insurance number was 5.5 m. It turned out 6.6m but Wall Street is still up. @TheTerminal via @SoberLook

Thing is, it's great to have some appreciation for migrants etc, but please note that that bar is now set at 'Are they willing come here, contribute to the economy and then die horrible deaths trying to save us?'

In honor of April Sexual Assault awareness month, I will continue to stand and speak up. 1993 was the year I was sexually harassed and assaulted by Joe Biden, my then boss. The smears and mistruths about me will not take my dignity or change what happened. This was me 1993

Unbelievable. The Home Office have reiterated that "low skilled" migrants won't be able to come to the UK from January.

That includes those who are KEY WORKERS right now - the nurses, carers and cleaners who are risking their lives to keep people safe.

"I keep having people say, 'Gee, it's like we're living in a Stephen King story,' " he says. "And my only response to that is, 'I'm sorry.' "

Thanks for the empathy, Stephen.

@mayamikdashi @warghetti @ziadaburish @bothness @LaraJBitar @KohlJournal @joeyayoub @mona_harb_ would be wonderful to talk to you about this. I did similar research on elite weddings in Damascus in late 1980s and early 1990s, and research on marriages of local elites in Turkey and Afghanistan. You are doing something important. Would be good to talk - Nancy Lindisfarne.

The BMA, Unison and all the other health unions should be all over this, encouraging their members to blow the whistle, saying they will back any member who does https://t.co/w6lrIOfa7G

GPs have stopped visiting care homes, so we are having to train our staff to verify deaths, using e-learning. Didn't see that one coming #COVIDー19

“In the beginning, I thought, ‘How could police use violence against the frontline fighters of Covid-19 when some days ago the same officers had saluted us for leading during the pandemic?’” said Amanullah

[WATCH] We are the people of the coalition. The people who feel the effects of COVID-19 without being infected by it, the marginalised but the powerful.

A new tactic from the United States and Australia. Protests in cars.

Those religious leaders who have proclaimed that Covid 19 is God’s punishment for homosexuality and have now been tested positive, I certainly wish them well, but it’s a convoluted way to Come Out.

World is fighting with Corona but this poor state is fighting with doctors.

When this pandemic is over, there will be much rage, and we will have need of that rage to change the world. But kindness will be even more important, because fighting this virus has been all about taking care of each other.
