A teacher at a private school in Miami falsely warned students not to hug their vaccinated parents for more than five seconds to avoid harmful vaccine shedding.
The school also threatened teachers’ employment if they got vaccinated during the school year. https://t.co/FoMPICTir6
This false claim traces back to Dr. Simone Gold, founder of America's Frontline Doctors. The group has falsely touted hydroxychloroquine as a COVID cure, and Gold was charged in connection to the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection. https://t.co/qWfkGyOHFX
Today the NCAA confirmed it will pull events from states with bills banning trans students from participating in school sports.
State lawmakers take note: discriminating against trans youth is wrong, against the law, and costly.
The average wait time after 7pm in Georgia was 8x longer at polling places that were 90% nonwhite vs. 90% white.
Some polling places had 8+ hour lines, overwhelmingly at Black precincts.
Now, you can’t give water to people stuck in those long lines.
Yes, it’s racist.
Sen. Warnock: "This shooter was able to kill all of these folks the same day he purchased a firearm. But right now, what is our legislature doing? They're busy ... here in Georgia trying to prevent people from being able to vote the same day they register." @MeetThePress
HR1 is being voted on next week. McConnell calls it a "power grab" because it:
-Establishes Automatic Voter Registration
-Prevents voter purges
-Ends gerrymandering
-Expands early voting
-Takes aim at Citizens United
It is a "power grab" -- grabbing power back for the people.
As the commander of military forces in E Africa, I asked the American Forces Network (TV) to replace Fox news during meal hours. Why? Because they were inimical to America's outreach overseas. Put troops in jeopardy. Made my job harder. And they now have accomplices.
New rule: If you brought us to this point by peddling The Big Lie, you don’t get to preach about “healing” and “unity.”
Healing and unity always require truth and accountability.
The hypocrisy of the Trump thuggery can be epitomized by a seditious rioter beating a police officer at the Capitol with an American flag. It was never about the flag, or “blue lives matter.” These were mere props in a movement fueled by power, injustice, and racism.
Since it appears GOP leaders need a reminder:
There is no “healing” from this without accountability.
And there is no “unity” with white supremacists.
You know the President’s state has devolved dangerously. If you’re too weak to do anything about it, you’re too weak to serve.
We can fortify the defenses of the Capitol.
We can reinforce doors and put up fences.
But we cannot guard our democracy against those who walk the halls of the Capitol, have taken an oath to uphold our Constitution, but refuse to do so.
