1/4 During my weekly digicon yesterday, I confirmed that the WC is experiencing a resurgence in Covid-19 cases. This is not yet a "Third Wave”, but the first sign of a surge of cases that could be expected in coming weeks. bit.ly/3tJregk.

#LetsDoThis
2/4 We still have an opportunity to slow this spread down and reduce the number of infections by taking the necessary safety precautions. The power is still in our hands. #LetsDoThis ImageImageImage
3/4 This resurgence is also an urgent reminder that we must get as many people over the age of 60 registered for their Covid-19 vaccine. #LetsDoThis Image

1/4 I’ve just visited @Shoprite_SA at Watergate Mall in Mitchells Plain where I am continuing the vaccine registration drive for those who are 60 and older. #LetsDoThis ImageImageImageImage

3/4 So, if you are 60 or older, or know someone who is, please register for your vaccine as soon as possible. #LetsDoThis Image

Spent the day touring the Emergency Intake Site at the Long Beach Convention Center & want to share thoughts. Our tour concluded about an hr before the first group of unaccompanied children arrived, & tomorrow myself & team @ImmDef will be back to begin providing legal services.
On the tour were multiple elected officials from Long Beach, including @LongBeachMayor, who reiterated throughout the day his hope that this facility will be a reflection of Long Beach’s rich history of welcoming immigrants and that these children will be met with love and care.
The Mayor’s call for meeting this moment w/ compassion translated into the facility which has been nicely decorated & seemed well equipped to house the 1000+ children who are expected. In the sleeping area large pink butterflies are projected onto walls giving a mural-like effect

A friend works for @HHSGov (agency that houses @CDCgov, #NIH , etc): they got an email from new HHS leadership within minutes after inauguration and CDC all-hands meeting scheduled ASAP.

This is a big deal. This makes me feel hopeful.

2/ I realized yesterday that the public genuinely don’t realize how badly the Trump administration has botched the #COVID19 response. Here’s an example re: their vaccine distribution planning cnn.com/2021/01/21/pol…
3/ I’ve seen lots of pundits criticize public health people & our response to #COVID19. And I thought it was partially trolling/partially willful ignorance...

📣 THREAD: Thanks to over 3,600 patriotic Americans, I've broken my goal of raising $500,000 to help flip as many seats blue as possible this cycle!

Now, with 114 days until the 2020 general election, I'm DOUBLING my target to an even $1 MILLION! 1/

Instead of listing the U.S. Senate page first as I usually do, I'm gonna start promoting the STATE legislative pages first. You get more bang for your buck with these races, and state legislatures usually control redistricting and other critical tools of government. 2/
MICHIGAN: In 2018 we flipped 5 seats apiece in the state House and Senate. In 2020 the Senate isn't up, but we can #FlipMIHouseBlue by flipping just 4 more seats!

I particularly recommend helping @voteKellyBreen in HD38 and @votePulver in HD39. 3/

Kanye West and the Kardashian tribe have over 100 million followers between them. He would be our first bipolar, anger management "jackass" faux angry rapper president and she would be the first porn actress Armenian naked first lady with transgender step father. #LetsDoThis
President Kanye would make us pine for Dementia Donny and all those fat old corrupt incompetent white appointees. Finally America will be in full reality show mode. Will there be a laugh track? theweek.com/articles/48262…
a little taster of President Yeezus.

1 Like = 1 genuine German insult

They’ll all sound funny, some might only be known regionally, and I might not know the underlying meaning for all of them.
Please use irresponsibly.

#LetsDoThis #GermanInsults
1) First the one you probably already know: if you’ve heard that Backpfeifengesicht (~ BUCK-phyfen-guh-SEEKHT) means “a face in dire need of a slap,” that’s exactly right. #GermanInsults
2) Honk. Probably just an insult because it sounds funny, and because there’s a weird rumor that it’s an official abbreviation for “Hauptschüler ohne nennenswerte Kenntnisse” (= lowest school degree and no noteworthy skills). But that’s likely apocryphal. #GermanInsults

My post on LinkedIn about my interview experience in 1996 @amazon blew up. But a bunch of people asked me why I left after 3 yrs and boomeranged 14 years later. So I thought I’d tell the story here #AWS #amazon #techjobs

Everyone assumes that if you’re “successful” by some measure they seen you got there through a series of brilliant chess moves or you were an overnight #success. Occasionally that’s true, but far more often it looks like this
My first 3 years at amazon were amazing. We changed the world of #ecommerce, survived competitive threats that were supposed to kill us, invented lots of 😎 #tech that’s now commonplace in websites. But it was also exhausting. I worked 6-7 days a week, every week for 3 years 😓

HOLY FUCK! Trump is running Build the Wall commercials— on @CNN! ! With
some Rambo narrating. When in the hell did this start????

It ends with: "I'm Donald Trump and I approved this message."

I got chills. Seriously. This is coming off the rails, folks.
@CNN What matters about this ad is the context. This isn't promoting an existing program (I don't believe Obama even made an ad for ACA).

This is promoting a private interest; a personal obsession. One that he's shut down our entire govt to force us to pay for. Let that sink in.
@CNN Of course it was probably campaign money. None of that matters. What matters is that this is more evidence that this media-obsessed lunatic is pushing a private war against brown people that we're all supposed to pay for, simply because @annCoulter despises them.

(1) #PhotoThread for the #ConfirmKavanaugh process starting 10/3/18.
(2) Mitch laughing to himself about how absurd it is that he has to push his way through the crowd of reporters on 9/25/18.
(3) Sen Grassley is 85 years old. (Democrats have senators around that age, too.)

Today he had to hold onto a Capitol Police officer to reduce the risk of a reporter knocking him over. This has to stop. Senators must return to being able to walk around freely at work.

HEREWITH: a _different_ argument about why it's easier to put a man on the moon than to have backdoorable cryptography at scale. This fine article got posted by Techdirt a couple days ago…
And it has received reasonable praise, commentary, and dad-jokes from the usual crypto suspects:
And it quotes the highly respectable @mattblaze who as-ever properly demolishes the argument on its own terms of groundless aspiration:

Our country is a mess and is currently being ran by one of the most disgusting human beings on Earth. The good news is that there are millions of us fighting to protect our people and our democracy.
We have some of the finest men and women working day and night right now to bring about JUSTICE and I fully believe that JUSTICE will be served.
Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, "Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country."
