Masking makes sense. SARS-CoV-2 can persist, and new evidence from France shows infected megakaryocytes + platelets — meaning real blood involvement. This virus isn’t just respiratory, and protecting your air protects your blood.

For me, choosing to wear a respirator mask in all public spaces signifies an awareness of my connection to the human community, whose collective well-being is grievously threatened by the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19.

Dems should say this right now, loudly and clearly: Anyone who is trusting Donald Trump, of all people, when he says what he’s directing you to do is lawful and that you’ll be protected later may be putting themselves in a very precarious position. 6/

I remember going to hear Ruby Bridges speak when I was young. I have a signed copy of her book _Through My Eyes_.
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

Toad sat on the edge of his bed. “Blah,” said Toad. “I feel down in the dumps.”
“Why?” asked Frog.
“I am thinking about tomorrow,” said Toad.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Yeah, this is a horrible plan.

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

Republicans aren't smart enough to pay me to do political consulting for them, but if they were I'd explain how smart it would be for them to get out in front of this by conspiring with the Democrats to impeach and remove Trump. It'd honestly be the best thing for that shit party going forward.

“Mr. Trump ‘knew about the [underage] girls’”
This needs to be printed out on posters, and carried around by reporters, so Republicans can’t say “I didn’t see it” when asked.
