"We have been thinking about freedom in the wrong way. Americans define freedom so narrowly that we turn it into a ghost. Freedom should not only mean the things you can do when you're already healthy." -- Tim Snyder on @gaslitnation https://t.co/LZa6qRztrI

An incredible essay on @autostraddle about the reflection we non-Black PoC need to do about the racism within our communities. Latinidad is a fabricated and exclusionary identity, a tool created by colonizers. You cannot coalesce over 20 countries into a singular identity.

"The US hasn't had, as a nation, a collective mourning for the victims of this pandemic. We haven't had a lowering of the flag. We've had none of the symbolic actions that bind a country together in a time of tragedy." -- @gaslitnation https://t.co/LZa6qRztrI

"Truth is about courage. Truth is not about accepting the obvious or the apparent or what other people think. Truth is about courage -- it's about saying the thing that people *don't* want to hear." -- Tim Snyder on @gaslitnation https://t.co/LZa6qRztrI

In walking from the Residence to the Oval Office, @realDonaldTrump seems to be violating @CDCgov guidelines: "In the home, anyone sick or infected should separate themselves from others by staying in a specific “sick room” or area and using a separate bathroom (if available)."

Oh man, I agree! This piece in @CottonXenomorph by @marisabcrane is lovely.

[(((Howard Forman))) @thehowie]

The President can violate all the norms he wants: but when he directly puts individual health at risk, there should be no room for disagreement. When will his enablers and the complicit elected officials do something? Does someone in the White House need to die?
