Doctors on the frontlines are running out of basic protective gear (PPE) and EVERY SINGLE DECENT HUMAN BEING in this country SHOULD BE OUTRAGED. What if all docs/nurses w/o proper gear refused to show up for work tomorrow? Would you be afraid? #GetThemPPE

It takes a LONG TIME to train an ICU doc, I know bec my husband is one. & when they're all sick (or dead) from trying to clean up this mess, our country is going to be in a shitload of trouble, even after this is over. Who's going to take care of your grandparents? #GetThemPPE

Your parents? You? Your kids? D and I no longer sleep in the same room. We tried to partition our apartment. We have 2 kids. I pleaded with him to not go to work if he doesn't have the right protective gear. I know he won't listen, but can you blame me for trying? #GetThemPPE

I'm not making this shit up. At D's hospital they are already short on masks, having to re-use. Would YOU go to work to care for sickest Covid patients w/o a mask?! nytimes.com/2020/03/19/hea…

What can YOU do? Help break the chains of transmission by STAYING HOME. nytimes.com/2020/03/19/hea…

Jeremy MORE PPE NOW Konyndyk

Today @realDonaldTrump claimed his administration was providing "historic support" to the states and was "very much involved in terms of getting the equipment they need."

I spent much of the week talking to frontline local officials and docs. Here's what I'm hearing:
"We're getting NOTHING from the feds. The mayor is trying to cultivate the VP's office but it hasn't delivered so far."
"The feds have shat the bed on this...we've given up trying to rely on them."

"Facemasks are an acceptable alternative when the supply chain of respirators cannot meet the demand."

Translation: The CDC is already admitting that we will run out of basic protective gear. Doctors will get infected - and patients die - as a result.

As doctors in Italian hospitals have explained to me, this is a disaster for two reasons:

* It increases the likelihood that doctors and nurses will contract corona.
* As a result, it puts medical personnel we desperately need to care for patients out of commission.
I know of a number of initiatives, from @sama and others, to figure out how America might be able to ramp up the supply of the basic medical supplies we need.

If you have any smart ideas, contact them or write 👇.

#Thread| Though #detention in Assam predates Modi era, now’s a good time to recall violation of human rights that happen within them. I’ve followed the human cost of detention for the past 1.5 yrs.Never made it inside one but the stories from the periphery are equally telling👇🏻
In Aug 2018, I followed a family torn apart by detention. Mother in one, father in one, daughters free but living under cover. Fortunately because of the SC ruling in May, they are now out. (This sketch is the exact replica of what I saw) indianexpress.com/article/north-…
In Dec 2018, I met Bimal Baidya — a carpenter from Bongaigaon. He was wrongfully in for one year. When he got out, he realised he had lost everything — including his wife who died of an illness. He never knew...indianexpress.com/article/expres…

1/ #ME: Feeling a way about the incuriosity/obvious bias in the press. Thought I'd annotate an article with my thoughts/analysis.
2/ #CPS: The CTU won’t agree to the money until it gets the other items on what Jackson calls its “social justice bargaining” agenda.

#ME How do Black and Brown children get anything w/o a justice oriented agenda? Or, a demand? Better question: Why don’t they already have it?
3/ #CPS: That includes everything from affordable housing , a dramatic increase in “community schools”, enforceable caps on class size, mandatory hiring of support personnel written into the contract and more teacher prep time with potential to shorten the school day.

I've learned - That you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.

I've learned - that no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back

#Thread
I've learned - that it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.

I've learned - that it's not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts.
I've learned - that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you'd better know something.

I've learned - that it's not what happens to people that's important. It's what they do about it.

For some of us, too, it /IS/ all men, or has BECOME all men. Saying “Not All Men,” then, is telling us our experience isn’t real, which— fun fact— makes you one of those men.

Instead — 👏🏼 ACTIONABLE ADVICE AHEAD 👏🏼 (thread)
Apologize for your gender (leave the part where you blame society for how you’re socialized until later— she may even bring it up herself! We know!), thereby acknowledging & validating her experience, and ask yourself or even her (!) How can I make THIS experience better?

E.g.
Hang on, I have to get a beer.

And dinner— it’s not /just/ bc of this thread! 🤣
