More video of Police clearing out their occupation/encamptment
Police won the day, retaking south station area.
Officers have just told protesters — who have been here for six days demanding the firing of an officer — that they have 15 minutes to disperse and leave South Station. @timesunion
Scene escalating:
A Shen parent posted this to Facebook & it’s gotten over 200 shares. It’s good to see suburban parents speaking up about inequality #fundourschools #Albany 
Some people are starting to understand the choices their privilege allows them to make, like where to live, have real downstream effects....
My biggest fear is that our urban & rural districts never recover. Once a social program is dismantled, that’s it. People move on, we decide it’s too expensive & too hard to rebuild. Albany has spent years building services & programs that had were getting results.
1. A tale of 2 #COVID19 case maps:
Left: Shows total cases (bigger circles, more cases) arcgis.com/apps/opsdashbo…
Right: Shows cases per 10,000 residents. Much easier to see very concerning #rural outbreaks in ID, LA, CO, ID

2. Focusing on #COVID19 cases per 10,000 people helps identify locations that are likely going to exceed local hospital capabilities very quickly. See rank list here. Blaine, ID (tourist ski area) has the highest infection rate in the country

3. Many hospitals in #rural areas have very small ICUs if they have ICUs at all and limited capacity. See this thread from a small community hospital in #Louisiana overwhelmed by #COVID19
ATTENTION ALL NEW YORKERS: The corrupt swamp in Albany, New York is working on banning homeschooling in NYS by 2021. Ever since they banned Relgoius exempts on June 12th 2019 and Medical exemptions in July 2019 homeschooling rates have sky rocketed 56%. A homeschool ban would
mean there is no choice when it comes to vaccines. THIS IS NOT A JOKE. They want 100% vaccination rates, no excuses, no exemptions, ever. Why not just mandate vaccines for homeschoolers instead of outlawing it you may ask? Because they want full control of our childeren through
the public school system. After NYS mandates the Flu Shot and the HPV (Gardsil) vaccine in this 2020 legislative session they will put the nail in the coffin and end the option to homeschool before the adult mandates roll out. Make sure everyone call Governor Andrew Cuomo
