How come they enforce background screening before handing over employment (life-enabler) and not do a single check before handing over the guns (life-destroyer)?! And no, thoughts and prayers won’t solve this madness.
Globally, the end of the pandemic isn't near.
More than a million lives depend on improving our response quickly.
Don’t be blinded by the light at the end of the tunnel. There isn't enough vaccine and the virus is gathering strength & speed. Global cooperation is crucial. 1/
What a hypocrite. Elon Musk has received billions in corporate welfare from U.S. taxpayers. Now he wants to stop 30 million Americans who lost jobs from receiving $600 a week in unemployment benefits, while his wealth has gone up by $46.7 billion over the past 4 months. Pathetic.
I do not think anyone who wants to see a just and better society would want to have billionaires exist in this framework...while other fellow human beings are left to die. Super crazy how this system has been designed.
The fact that Jeff Bezos increased his wealth by $13 billion in 1 day during a pandemic, while his employees struggle to make ends meet and 50 million Americans are filing for unemployment, tells you a great deal about how our economy is rigged in favor of the billionaire class.
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez: "Mr. Yoho mentioned that he has a wife and two daughters. I am two years younger than Mr. Yoho's youngest daughter. I am someone's daughter, too. My father, thankfully, is not alive to see how Mr. Yoho treated his daughter." https://t.co/U2UIEaCljG
Can we all just admit this: The transformational changes that covid, the economic crisis, police brutality and racial turbulence will force are precisely some of the things Bernie Sanders was talking about but may have sounded too extreme to some just months ago.
If you're wondering how you can water the seeds of positive growth in you, please go to this page and help a grieving mother cope with this tragedy. Let's also not forget that she lost her child and our donations won't bring her back, but it will help alleviate her struggle.
Moved by #Angira's story, @bura_puskar is raising funds for her mother. Please donate. Angira was a 13 year odl Dalit girl - so called untouchable. Much like the violence against blacks in the US, there has been a systemic violence against Dalits in our society.
This chart should really scare the authorities.
A series of lockdowns can't be a strategy. Lockdown is a useful tool for enforcing social-distancing and an important step. But one has to be stupid to believe they have done their job by announcing lockdown.
The reduction of vehicular emission due to the #COVID19 lockdown has cleaned the air over Nepal and northern India. So much so that for the first time in many years, Mt #Everest can be seen again from Kathmandu Valley even though it is 200km away. More: https://t.co/QA1DEJC2rQ
बुद्ध पूर्णिमाको सबैलाई शुभ कामना|
आनी छोयीङ डोल्माले भने जस्तै - जय होस् तिम्रो मङ्गल होस्, चित्त सधैं भरि कोमल होस् |
साँच्चै, मन सफा राखेर अगाडि बढ्ने हो भने जिन्दगीका समस्या साना नै लाग्दै जान्छन्|

Think about how harshly #BlackLivesMatter & #AbolishICE activists were debased, called rioters, & treated as a threat to society.
Now watch & examine how this MAGA-armed rushing of a state legislature is treated.
This is for those who still think racial privilege is a fantasy.
All this craziness in the way politicians both in US and back home in Nepal have been handling this crisis (and other affairs) has got me in a big hodgepodge state of mind. Selfish, deceiving, authoritarian, ignorant, incompetent, etc.
