I didn't vote for a strongman. I actually voted AGAINST a strongman.
I voted for a person who would usher in a data-informed and equitable response to the pandemic.
Here is what I see in this picture:

1) #LongCovid -- 67% of people who develop long covid were vaccinated with mild/asymptomatic cases. While we don't know much and there is still much more to learn, we do know that STOP, REST, PACE is the best way to avoid LC

2) Cavalier behavior around others while infectious.
@POTUS is Covid positive and there is at least 1 other person in the room to take this picture. Even if they are masked they are still being assaulted by the President's germs. See urine test metaphor below, it still applies.

So many people in my network who have successfully avoided #Covid19 -- and have consistently worn high-quality masks indoors etc -- are now sick.
Many of them are teachers, gig workers, and performers... and if they don't work, they don't get paid.

One of my besties texted me this morning: she FINALLY had a pre-Covid weekend's worth of gigs lined up and wanted me to confirm that the super faint pink line on her rapid test means that she's Covid+.

She's trying to document w/ a PCR test but all the free testing sites have been shut down.
Simultaneously, she's scrambling to find subs so she doesn't burn bridges for future work as she's forced to cancel last-minute in a city where not everyone supports these precautions.

While we try to wrap our minds around all the crimes described in the #MuellerReport and how they can’t be “proved” we have to wonder what the millions of “guests” of #IncarcerationNation think and feel right now..
The American criminal justice system holds 2.3M people in 1,719 state prisons, 109 federal prisons, 1,772 juvenile facilities, 3,163 local jails, 80 Indian Country jails,military prisons, immigration detention,civil commitment centers, state psychiatric hospitals./2
Every year over 600,000 enter prison gates but people go to jail 10.6M X each year.Jail churn is particularly high as most ppl in jails haven’t been convicted. Some will make bail within hours or days while many others are too poor to make bail &remain behind bars until trial./3
