@mitchellreports @fred_guttenberg This failed republic needs to fall to wash away its sins. This nation needs to burn.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Let's be clear: Republican Senators are blocking common sense gun safety legislation against the will of the American people.

@Ayan_SB @GregAbbott_TX @TxDPS Man, if I were you, I’d be seriously hoping there is no God.

@jaketapper There will be hundreds more ‘coz nobody actually gives a fuck about anything but a damn fetus. So proud do be an American *sarcasm/pain*

NBC News: Senator Murphy spoke to reporters as he walked off the Senate floor, saying, "spare me the bullshit about mental illness. We don't have any more mental illness than any other country in the world."

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

There is no such thing as being “pro-life” while supporting laws that let children be shot in their schools, elders in grocery stores, worshippers in their houses of faith, survivors by abusers, or anyone in a crowded place.

It is an idolatry of violence. And it must end.

[David Gakstatter @SilverFoxNurse]

@mitchellreports America: The Nation that cares more about a fetus than an actual child.

@josephinecwolff One issue with this: do you have any idea how easy it would’ve been for the hospital to setup baby cams to monitor this equipment in a pinch? I’m a travel nurse and see them used all the time. In a pinch, the hospital could’ve gone to Best Buy and saved this baby’s life.

@aliciavlozano Why is no one asking the multimillionaire execs why they have cut staffing levels to the bone. Why aren’t they putting out market rate travel ICU nurse contracts. Arkansas is paying more for the love of god.

[David Gakstatter @SilverFoxNurse]

@aliciavlozano You need 2 ask the execs at these hospitals why they aren’t putting out market rates contracts for travel ICU nurses. That’s why we are coming. I’m not putting my life at risk AND taking a pay cut.

[David Gakstatter @SilverFoxNurse]

@Cat_Ho U all are missing the real story: you aren’t getting travel nurses because your execs are offering below market rates for TRAVEL ICU NURSES. CA is offering less than WI, TX, IL, NV, OR, HI, MI, NY, MI, etc

[David Gakstatter @SilverFoxNurse]

@KQEDForum @erinallday @StephenParodiMD Tell your hospital execs to start paying market rates for travel ICU NURSES. Don’t ask me to risk my life and take a pay cut “for the California experience”. California is offering less pay than TX, OR, MO, NY, WI, IL, MI, etc...

[David Gakstatter @SilverFoxNurse]

@GavinNewsom If your hospital execs were willing to pay market rates for travel ICU nurses, we would flood in to help. Don’t ask me to place my life at risk AND TAKE A PAY CUT “for the California experience”. There are thousands of us waiting to help.

[David Gakstatter @SilverFoxNurse]

@skarlamangla @ronlin These execs are liars: if they would offer competitive travel ICU nurse contracts, many of us would flood in to help. Instead, they want me to come “because it’s California” and take a pay cut. My life as a nurse has value.

[David Gakstatter @SilverFoxNurse]

@cher I love u. please get the message out: nurses are breaking under the strain. I am enveloped in death every day. The system is going to collapse. Nurses need help. We need PPE. We need support.

[David Gakstatter @SilverFoxNurse]

@JoyAnnReid someone needs to start talking about hospital CEO pay. Why are they earning MILLIONS while we nurses are breaking under the strain and death of the pandemic.

[David Gakstatter @SilverFoxNurse]

@mitchellreports we nurses are falling down. I am breaking. I am enveloped in death. Why do hospital CEOs make MILLIONS while we suffer and fall.

[David Gakstatter @SilverFoxNurse]

@LindseyReiser If hospital CEOs weren’t making MILLIONS they could afford nurses..

@LindseyGrahamSC @realDonaldTrump Isn’t @LindseyGrahamSC the guy that pays to “sleep” with gay male adult film “stars”?
