The irony (though I don't find it funny). I think most media outlets are complicit in the degradation of truth. Fox is the worst; CNN and MSNBC are also full of infotainment and trivialities. Read/consider Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business
”We will not see diseases like the coronavirus come here… isn’t that refreshing when contrasting it with the awful presidency of President Obama?” — Kayleigh McEnany, 2/25/20
For the thinking person... "Like industrial-age steel companies dumping poisonous waste into waterways, Facebook pumps paranoia and disinformation into the body politic, the toxic byproduct of its relentless drive for profit." https://t.co/WAMsVz9VRL
This is David McAtee.
He owned YaYa’s BBQ in Louisville, KY. He was in the barbecue business for 30 yrs and aspired to open up a brick & mortar restaurant. He fed cops who came by for free.
He was shot and killed by police today. His life mattered. #BreonnaTaylor#DavidMcAtee

How in the hell does Carnival, a cruise ship company that pays virtually no federal income taxes, receive a bailout, but the Postal Service, the most popular government agency in America, does not?
The Post Office is essential. Cruise ships are not. https://t.co/cb9k0E291u
On the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, consider the soundscape– listen to a 3 minute soundscape I recorded in the Peruvian Amazon. With shelter-in-place, this is likely the quietest your home is gonna be... #earthday#soundscapes#amazon#PacayaSamiria https://t.co/VQPKiuqiRr
45% of eligible voters didn't vote to elect the 45th president. Ok, 44.3%. In light of this fact, how on earth "thinking people" especially democrats, see fit to scapegoat Bernie supporters for the failings of a Dem candidate to win is beyond me. #endrant
Now more than ever, we must understand that a health care should not be a privilege tied to employment status or income. Medicare for All means no one loses coverage. Period.
The Postal Service is:
🌎Our only universal delivery network
👩💼Employer of 640,000 Americans
📦Deliverer of 1.2 billion packages of medicine a year
🎖Largest provider of jobs for veterans
🇺🇸Enshrined in the Constitution
We must save the Postal Service and protect its workers.
In a sane world, the government would deliver a small 📦 to every person in America. Each month: face masks, gloves, a pre-paid debit card, testing kits, information about how to vote by mail. All delivered by USPS.
I've been working with my publishers to get The Shock Doctrine available for free or almost free. Here is my UK publisher offering the ebook for 99p. I'll be donating any royalties from this to mutual aid projects.
