I want you to recall that feeling of going to bed in disbelief on Nov 8, 2016 & then waking up Nov 9, 2016 with that sick feeling in your gut.

Now ask yourselves what you would’ve done differently those days Before 11/8/2016—

What are you doing now?
1/7

Remember your worst days of outrage as Trump & his enablers obliterated rule of law & decimated our democracy the past 4 years.

The hashtags #VoteBlue & #VoteThemOut are literally life or death for you & anyone you care about.

What would’ve you done those days before 11/8/2016?

The facts on rabidly pro-Trump @LorenCulp who’s running for #WAState Governor.

Culp purposely botched a child sex-abuse investigation. He said the charges by the 17 yr old victim who repeatedly begged for help were “made up” & sided with the abuser, who pleaded Guilty.

1/6 .@LorenCulp refused to investigate a child’s pleas for help when she reported her abuser’s rapes & molestation—for 12 YEARS.

He threatened to charge her w making false claims & failed to report her allegations to child welfare authorities required by law

We knew from the beginning Trump was lying to us. He’s incapable of telling the truth.

We knew this the moment he mandated all #COVID19 data be sent to him in July, not the CDC.

There has never been & there will never be a time that Trump & his Regime isn’t lying to us.

1/7 The CDC was once the gold standard of scientific excellence. Today, it’s so compromised by Trump & his enablers, it can no longer be trusted— nor can the true number of US #COVID19 cases & deaths.

Like the USPS, the CDC is another casualty under this fascist regime.

Today: And The Band Played On

A book by journalist Randy Shilts, adapted into a movie about the rise of AIDS in the 1980s & the part politics, bureaucracy & homophobia played in the failed response to the crisis.
1/ 2/
The movie And the Band Played On was made in 1993 & told through protagonist Don Francis — an epidemiologist with the CDC who worked on the frontlines of the Ebola outbreak in 1976.

In 1981, Francis became aware of a growing number of deaths in gay men in LA, NY & SFO.

When I’ve been pulled over by the police for a traffic violation—I’ve only ever worried about if I’ll get a ticket or not, how much it will cost & the inconvenience of traffic court.

I’ve never worried about whether or not I‘ll live or die.

But I’m white.

When I’ve gone to a grocery store (or any store) and written a check, or paid with cash or credit, I’ve never worried about a store employee calling the police to claim I was committing forgery.

This is flying under the radar—

As #COVID19 spreads like wildfire in US detention Trump’s regime is:

—Not protecting/testing detainees

—Intentionally underreporting migrant cases

—Deporting them KNOWING they’re infected

—Deliberately spreading COVID19 worldwide

Thread Last weekend—25 migrants housed in MA Bristol County JAIL were assaulted & pepper sprayed, sending 3 to hospital for refusing to sign papers that said "everything is okay w/conditions"

The Trump ally sheriff claims they refused testing & damaged property.

A delivery of #COVID19 test kits to WA State was seized & diverted by the federal gov’t.

They were forced to order them overseas due to Trump’s incompetence & still ongoing test shortages.

At today’s #TrumpPressConf he repeated—states are on their own.

bellinghamherald.com/news/coronavir… The LA times reported about the federal government seizing, diverting & stockpiling medical supplies from overseas last week.

FEMA’s response: “Reports of FEMA commandeering or re-routing such supplies are false.”

In plain language, here’s why every single Dem shot down the $1.8 TRILLION Taxpayer funded NON-BIPARTISAN GOP Senate #COVID19 bill 2x in which McConnell chose not to consult with one Dem & are currently vilifying them for…

Grab a coffee & please read…

documentcloud.org/documents/6815… McConnell’s GOP bill includes a $500,000,000,000.00 corporate slush fund to do as Trump & the GOP please, at will, w/Zero transparency, for CEOs & the ultra rich, incl Trump businesses.

Sum total = ZERO for American citizens, workers & families/children

PSA from a good friend of mine, a PhD in nursing & professor at U of WA School of Medicine, after working a triple shift:

“Please please please stop hoarding masks! Unless you‘re providing direct care to patients coughing in your face, YOUR MASK WILL NOT PROTECT YOU
1/4
#COVID19 Staying home & washing your hands may protect you, but MASKS WILL NOT.

Do you know who your masks will protect? Those of us in the healthcare field who are RUNNING OUT OF MASKS because people keep stealing them from our waiting rooms & off of personal protection equipment carts.

With #ImpeachmentTrial this isn’t getting the attention it deserves…

After Trump completely wiped the Clean Water Act in Nov. he’s now obliterating Obama-Era protections for waterways.

This should alarm everyone, despite politics. This will affect every single American.

Nov 2019—Trump announced his repeal of all major Obama-era CWA
that limited the amount of pollution & chemicals in rivers, lakes, streams & wetlands.

More—Trump forced the EPA to limit Scientific evidence/facts used to write public health laws & regs.

and all through the House.
They gathered in Congress,
and finally impeached the louse. All roads with Trump lead to Putin,
‘cause he got him “elected”

Dear @facebook

You aided & abetted Cambridge Analytica & Russia to favor Trump in 2016.

It didn’t matter to you that a tyrant was installed, not fairly elected due in large part to your platform—all for profit.

You’re clearly favoring him again for 2020.

#DeleteFacebook 2/5

Cambridge Analytica harvested data on 50 Million people & had data on 230 Million more from @facebook

C-A, now Emerdata, is owned by Mercer & was run by Steve Bannon who compiled & used this data to sway the outcome of 2016 elections to favor Trump.

Last year on #NationalComingOutDay, a young man I know had a life altering effect on me when he became a statistic.

25% of youth who come out to their family immediately become homeless. If you’re POC, the statistic is higher.

Here’s Jack’s story from #NationalComingOutDay 2018 Last Sunday— October 6, 1998 was the 21st anniversary of the murder of Matthew Shepherd. He was driven to a remote, rural area in WY, robbed, pistol-whipped, tied to a fence, tortured & left to die all because he was gay.

He would’ve been 42 years old.
