Jeff Zients and the @WhiteHouse #COVID19 team presented a status report this morning. First, from @CDCDirector Walensky, good news that the holiday surge in new cases, hospitalizations & even deaths appears to be over in USA -- but case levels remain very high.

2/ The racial distribution of #COVID19 deaths in America is terribly unequal, with African Americans FAR more likely to suffer fatal disease if infected with the virus. The @WhiteHouse named addressing these disparities as its top priority.

3/ Getting vaccines out the door, and into people's arms remains an enormously challenging feat. Delivery of #COVID19 #vaccines to states is only half the problem: getting them administered is proving to be the tougher part, says @ASlavitt .

Vice-president under Barack #Obama and a senator for 36 years, #JoeBiden is a political figure familiar to most Americans🇺🇸

To many, he lacks the aura of the last Democratic president, but after a period of turmoil in US politics, is he the steady pair of hands the nation needs?
#US 🇺🇸 President Joe #Biden moved swiftly to dismantle Donald #Trump’s legacy on his first day in office.

The president signed a series of executive actions to reverse course on immigration, climate change, racial equity and handling of the pandemic ✍️

@WassimCornet reports ⤵️
@WassimCornet 🇺🇸 Meanwhile, Donald #Trump has a long way to go to rebuild an image left in tatters by his presidency, particularly the final months.

France 24's @ketgorjestani said that the Republican left the White House "with the lowest rating of his presidency" ⤵️

eight years ago i had the opportunity to attend Obama's 2nd inauguration & it was MLK Jr. Day. it was a whirlwind, somewhat last minute decision but worth every minute of the less than 48 hours i was in D.C. i shared an airport shuttle with a Black woman. who worked for Fox News.
my friend K. and i were up before dawn, following our carefully plotted route by foot, subway & taxi to the inauguration which included a hotel bathroom break. security included metal detectors once we were near the capital. we stood in the front row of the fenced off section.
once there, it was a risk to use the restroom, unsure if we could reclaim our spot but we did (but not without a lot of side eyes). after Obama spoke, people left. front row we saw Paula Abdul, Nick Cannon and others. i'd have left then too in order to beat the crowds.

1/9 More #inauguration day thoughts, written on J20 2017 and now part of upcoming book project with @PMPressOrg. Line of demonstrators, many dressed in black bloc, faces off
2/9 “La suerte solo rie a los audaces.” “Fortune only smiles upon the bold.” So goes a famous Latin American rock song. I’m definitely no poet, so symbolism and metaphors aren’t necessarily my strength.
3/9 But I feel like precisely that point was illustrated to us that day in an usually poetic manner. How much more clearly could we expect the principles of solidarity, individual courage, and collective strength be portrayed in practice?

THREAD: My photos/videos from around Washington, D.C. today.
This is David Wood and he still thinks Donald Trump will be president.

“The guy who got the most legal votes is going to be president. I believe Donald Trump got the most legal votes... I don’t know how God is going to do it... but Donald Trump is gonna serve four more years.”
“The Egyptians, which was a Communist regime, was chasing the Israelites and Moses... they came right to the edge of the Red Sea and they had nowhere to go... then God said ‘Stick out your staff’... and the Red Sea parted... so that’s exactly what’s going to happen here.”

“Today, the work begins.” @WhiteHouse

“On the shore, I watched the sails unfurl, flap then billow, & felt my heart billow too. ‘May the wind always be at your back’ I said, & my soft words were carried away on the salty, sea breeze.” (Emerson Warner).
2/. “When day comes we ask ourselves where can we find light in this never-ending shade?”

3/. “The loss we carry a sea we must wade. We’ve braved the belly of the beast. We’ve learned that quiet isn’t always peace. In the norms and notions of what just is isn’t always justice. And yet, the dawn is ours before we knew it. Somehow we do it.”

There’s an Amanda Gorman at every HS you call underperforming, inner city, and/or the G word.

Honor. Black. Students. Art.

#InaugurationDay
This tweet is doing numbers. So #CiteASista.

After that, donate to orgs/ groups like Urban Word who help young Black & brown spoken word poets today so you can help fund the next Amanda Gorman of tomorrow.

Since somma y’all new & lacking reading comprehension, let me help:

Amanda’s Black elite access underscores my larger point—there are Black youth artists this country WILL NEVER see with equal+ talent BECAUSE of their schools. We are NOT the talented 10th alone.

There’s something to be said about all the ways Black people are tied to and centered in the pageantry of this political moment, the Inauguration, and I’m sitting with the complicated discomfort of seeing us but remaining so unseen in this nation as human beings. #InaugurationDay
It’s reminiscent of the Obama years, but different, something more available in representation yet still illegible in terms of its meaning. I’m thinking a lot about @KieseLaymon’s 2016 @TheGardianNews piece about Blackness and our corrupt oligarchy. #InaugurationDay
The long history of Black folks being positioned as the convenient darlings of electoral politics, while remaining its proverbial stepchild in to policy and practice, calls into question whether our inclusion in pageantry is anything more than political theater. #Inauguration

Presidente Biden:

“Hoje é o dia da democracia.
Um dia de história e esperança.
De renovação e determinação.
Hoje, celebramos o triunfo, não o triunfo de um candidato, mas de uma causa: A causa da democracia.
A vontade do povo foi ouvida e a vontade do povo foi atendida.”

שרשור נאום ביידן
1. זהו יומה של אמריקה, זהו יומה של הדמוקרטיה. במשך שנים אמריקה עמדה במבחן. בשעה זו ידידיי, הדמוקרטיה עמדה במבחן. אלימות עלתה על הקפיטול, אך כעת התכנסנו כאומה אחת כדי לבצע העברה שלווה של השלטון.
#Inauguration
2. אני מודה לקודמיי משתי המפלגות שנמצאים פה. ההצלחה תלויה לא בחלק מאתנו אלא בכולנו. יש לנו הרבה לאן להתקדם, הרבה מה לתקן, הרבה מה לרפא והרבה מה להשיג.
#Inauguration
3. אנחנו נילחם - ונביס - את הקיצוניות, הלאומנות והעליונות-הלבנה. לינקולן אמר, "אם אזכר בהיסטוריה - יהיה זה בגלל חוק האמנסיפציה וכל נשמתי מושקעת בו."
כאן, כעת, כל נשמתי מושקעת ברגע הזה.

Congratulations President @JoeBiden. Today is a great day for America’s working families as we move into an administration committed to implementing a #WorkersFirstAgenda.
As a kid growing up in Scranton and Claymont, @JoeBiden’s grandpa told him to “Keep the faith.” His grandmother would add: “Spread it! Spread the faith!” Mr. President, working people have kept the faith. And we’re ready to spread it with you. #InaugurationDay
From holding big banks accountable to advancing criminal justice reform, @VP @KamalaHarris earned the reputation of being a champion for working people. Today, she has cemented her place in history as a trailblazer. #InaugurationDay
