I don’t know how much more clear this can be. The health system in Italy is on the verge of collapse. And that is with containment measures and thousands of tests, and some of the world’s best hospitals. We have done nothing.
Not only have we done nothing, this admin has taken steps that exacerbate the situation.
Steps like this: washingtonpost.com/health/2020/02…

There will be more plays, parties, concerts, ball games. There will be more lattes, water cooler chats, yoga classes.
There are only one of our own Gramma, Grampa, Nana, Pops, Nonna, Nonno, Baka, Deda, favorite teachers, friendly crossing guards, librarians, neighbor who always waves while walking their dog...
client with a twinkle in his eye, school volunteer spending retirement reading to kids, older friend who hand writes books of quotes for people she loves…

I spent some time watching Italian TV last night, and also chatting with one of my girlfriends over there, to get a sense of how they’re feeling/what’s being said. Here were my main takeaways (link to program I watched at end of thread).
1. They are combatting the same disinformation we are, and it has taken a toll. Throughout the program they repeated “this is not just the flu.”
2. Young people in particular were still going out and gathering in large groups. They pleaded with them as a group to stop this behavior.

I did not vote for Mike DeWine, but I am grateful for his leadership right now. He is taking this seriously, and explaining how we all need to work together to flatten the curve.
He’s handed the podium over to a doctor, who has said that they have many tests being performed; that they expect these results to confirm what they suspect: there is community spread.
They are saying: TAKE ACTION NOW. Explaining the curve again.

Look, people, I don't know how much more clear the Left has to be. From illegal immigration to gun control, they are VERY comfortable with sacrificing your lives to achieve their political ends. Understand, if you vote for them, that you're considered an acceptable loss.
"Sanctuary cities" are explicitly premised on the idea that dead Americans are a small price to pay for left-wing immigration ideology. You're not supposed to notice or comment on the dead, or you'll be condemned as a racist. The casualties are quite literally deemed irrelevant.
And this is coming from the people who shriek that "saving just one life" is worth unlimited sacrifices of money and freedom to accomplish goals they DO care about.

Why the Italian populist government has basically collapsed, why Salvini (League) & Di Maio (5 Star Movement) were destined to break up and why the next general election will be decisive for the future of #Italy - and Europe.

A short thread (like when I used to work in Italy😊)
1. First of all, I was one of the very first commentators in Italy predicting a coalition between Di Maio and Salvini despite it sounded absurd then, getting many critics for that.()

So, when I say it was destined to break up, it's for a different reason.
2. Secondly, to be clear, the high speed railway TAV dispute (in some way similar to the British HS2) is just the tipping point of longstanding crisis between the two coalition parties. TAV surely sparked the ultimate crisis but Salvini and Di Maio were incompatible on much more.

If we are going to get out of the messes we are in, I believe we have to start with a more accurate image of ourselves and the world of which we are a part. A thread about #system boundaries, abortion bans, climate change, gun safety, and more.
We each are flows, more like flames or whirlpools than rocks or billiard balls, in constant exchange with the 'environment. Your 'boundaries' are so much more fluid than everyday perception (in this western industrial growth society at least) suggests.
I mean this literally - not metaphorically. What was 'not you' moments before you drank a glass of water now is 'you.'

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
