Something went kerflooey with my regular account-it won't let me tweet, retweet, etc... so I set up this backup account for @SableViews

The next time that some pundit or politician starts whining about the fact that @BernieSanders dared to note Cuba’s accomplishments in health care, remind them that—when Italy was crying out for help—a plane load of Cuban doctors arrived to fight #COVID19

1:20 of platitudes. That's what they had you waiting six days for.
I cannot with this party and power structure.
Democrats and Republicans are incapable of leading us in this pandemic.

WE CAN CONTROL THIS. If it doesn’t feel like it’s working because you’re not seeing a lot of cases, understand this.
You are responsible for any good news. SF on lockdown v Miami-Dade slacking. 2/

The mainstream media won't cover the effect that this crisis is having on the working class — but we will.

The latest updates on COVID-19 from @GovEvers
We have been working hard to ensure the health and safety of the people of our state as we have responded to COVID-19. We’ve taken important steps, but folks, time is of the essence. So today I’m announcing we'll be issuing a #SaferAtHome order tomorrow. Here’s what this means ⬇️

Millions of Americans are confined to their homes.
An untold number have lost their jobs.
Tens of thousands are sick, hundreds have died.
But Trump is still focused on his own personal, petty complaints.

We would not be socially distancing like this (with accompanying economic damage) if our government response was as swift and competent as South Korea’s.

Please: don't order stuff online you don't need just because you are bored. Or anxious. Or incapable of speaking to your family. Or trying to convince yourself that things are going to return to capitalism as "normal" soon.
It's hurting workers + encouraging terrible employers.
Last night I reported that Restoration Hardware was having its customer service reps come into their Tracy CA call center despite a statewide stay-home order. I’ve since heard from RH workers who say the situation is worse than I realized 1/x huffpost.com/entry/restorati…

Lastly, I’m confident saying there are CEO’s out there looking at their dour revenue projections and asking corporate counsel how they can work around these stay-home orders. And many workers will continue clocking in during a pandemic. 8/8

"Lincoln said that first and best. A leader must make whatever horror exists concrete. Only then will people be able to break it apart." -author and historian John M. Barry, from his 2004 book "The Great Influenza" about the 1918 flu pandemic

"The final lesson of 1918, a simple one yet one of the most difficult to execute, is that...those in authority must retain the public's trust. The way to do that is to distort nothing, to put the best face on nothing, to try to manipulate no one...

A big reason the Senate can't pass a bailout bill is that Republicans are refusing to require big companies that get bailouts to refrain from firing workers or imposing pay cuts.
Also, Republicans are opposing the expansion of unemployment benefits for workers who do get fired.

Bernie, repeating his call for a $2,000/month check:
"Some of my Republican colleagues are calling for a $1,000, one-time check.
Really?
Really?
Yeah great, that'll last you two or three weeks..."

"People now are nervous. They're isolated, and anything that we can do at the grassroots level to make people know that they're not alone in this crisis is a huge step forward." @BernieSanders
Thank you for coming together on this website, on slack, on zoom.

Who now has the monies, specialists and equipment critically needed to contain the COVID-19 pandemic? The Department of Defense. Return from the Middle East and save the Middle West. DOD can train thousands of medics in eight weeks, build temp hospitals. -R

For the urban poor, the #COVID19 fight will pose deep dilemmas. In #Mumbai slums for example, hand-washing, social distancing, respiratory hygiene are all impossible. My report: bit.ly/3bay8C6
