Italian military are being used to pick up bodies in Bergamo, which is overwhelmed by huge number of corpses.

Trump refuses to use full power to get medical gear made & distributed, because "free market" will do it....
....25% of all American deaths that have ever occurred happened today.

GOP wont act on a bill to protect Americans that can't work during lockdowns unless it includes $500 billion for CEOs. And the money is a slush fund, handed out to only to whatever companies Trump wants....
...Italy ignored what was happening in the run-up, kept believing happy talk by idiots who don't understand how viral spreads take place. So 651 Italians died today.

Trump, on basis of nothing & in contradiction to medical experts, said today "very soon everything will be ok.”

1. As more and more conservatives and Trumpers say that the elderly should be willing to sacrifice their lives for the economy, remember a few things:

A. As unbelievable as it is, these inhuman monsters actually said these things. They are unmitigated sociopaths...
...

B. The economy is fine. There are business cycles, and it is normal for a some sort of shock to trigger the inevitable downside of the cycle. They want people to die because they think it will make stock prices go back up to their bubble values. Theyre *greedy* sociopaths...
..
C. They lied that ACA contained "death panels" to kill the elderly & infirm -people they now say should die for "the economy." The truth? ACA raised taxes on the rich. That was the basis for their lying rage, just like stock prices are now. Theyre *lying* greedy sociopaths...

This isnt a joke.

Rich folk in Dallas celebrate cause they got maids declared an "essential service" not covered by emergency "stay home" rules. These people are such selfish a-holes they think risking other people's lives is ok so long as they dont have to clean their own homes
It's interesting to see the responses on this feed, because many of them are just the same (and doing exactly what we're doing, because yes, we have a housekeeper): Saying "stay home until further notice, but we are paying same salary until you can return safely."
...is this a split on responses of the privilege, with the democrats saying "home until it's safe and we'll pay you" versus the Republican "Risk your life to come clean. You're an essential service, because I'm too lazy to sweep my own floor."

1. I've had trouble understanding GOP seeking suicidal impulse to hasten spread of COVID-19 by ordering people to work (as if escalating death rates will lead to Dow zooming up), then I realized:....
2...
a. The people who the GOP really fights for, really cares about - the rich - can stay home and telecommute.
b. The ones they really *don't* care about - the ones just above the poverty line - can die and be replaced....
3...

c. The working class who oppose them can die and be replaced.
d. The working class who think the GOP cares about them as anything other than votes and fodder can be brainwashed by conservative media into blaming someone else for the GOP's evil plans...

Right now, the Gaza Strip is experiencing a new night of Israeli airstrikes, at the end of yet another day of violence & trauma for the blockaded territory’s Palestinian residents – including an Israeli war crime caught on camera.

But first, the context for today's events...
The Gaza Strip has been under Israeli military control for 53 years, & under a devastating Israeli blockade - designed to destroy Gaza's economy - for 13 years.

The blockade is often 'eased' or 'tightened' - explicitly on a collective punishment basis.

gisha.org/updates/10961
One aspect of Israel's military control is that its occupation forces enter Gaza's land & sea frequently and at will.

In 2018-'19, for example, there were 158 Israeli military incursions into the Gaza Strip (per UN data) - and that's not including dozens of attacks on fishermen.

#BorderCrisis Peak, #Mexico Cooperation, and Judicial Wrangling

The year began with President Trump declaring a #NationalEmergency at the southern #Border. theepochtimes.com/year-in-review…
The #BorderCrisis escalated, and in May, nearly 133,000 #IllegalAliens were apprehended by #BorderPatrol, with a further 11,000 presenting at ports of entry without legal documentation.

By the end of fiscal 2019, almost 1 million people had entered the US illegally.
Over 600,000 of them were either individuals within a family unit or unaccompanied minors—both vulnerable populations that often arrived sick and required more care than #BorderPatrol was set up to provide.
