(THREAD) Trump's Fox News town hall today was wall-to-wall lies—*information warfare* waged against America, even as America is the epicenter of the worst global public health crisis in over a century. I break down some of the most vile lies in this thread. I hope you'll RETWEET.
1/ Fox News asks Trump when he knew he had to "move" on coronavirus. Trump says that he first heard about what was happening in China in the *media*—not via any of the means the *most powerful man in the world* has at his disposal to hear about *major national security threats*.
2/ In fact China informed the World Health Organization about coronavirus in *2019*. DHHS and the NSA knew by January 3 at the *latest*. DHHS briefed Trump by January 18 at the *latest*. It's likely that Trump was first told in late December—over a month before he *did* anything.

(THREAD) As Trump threatens to roll back "social distancing" measures at the height of the worst global public health crisis in a century—with America at its epicenter—his lies about coronavirus are coming fast and furious. In this thread I address a few. I hope you will RETWEET.
1/ No one in the world—including medical experts—knows what the mortality rate (or CFR, "case fatality rate") for coronavirus is now or will be by the end of the pandemic. Anyone telling you they *know* what we're looking at here in terms of the lethality of coronavirus is lying.
2/ Trump and his team are cherry-picking the rosiest scenarios for their political rhetoric, telling us the CFR for coronavirus will be between .5%—5 times worse than the seasonal flu—and 1.5% (15 times worse). So many things are wrong with that, it's hard to know where to start.

Candidly, I'll be angry about how the 2016 and 2020 Democratic primaries played out for the rest of my life. It's disgraceful that at a time of crisis—and both primaries were conducted amidst the crisis of Trump being a player in US public discourse—things played out as they did.
PS/ I'm not referring here to the primaries' results; Clinton was highly qualified and ready to lead, and Biden is highly qualified and a good man. But as a lawyer, I'm process-oriented—and the primary processes in '16/'20, at media and campaign and DNC levels, were preposterous.
PS2/ Lest anyone be confused, I was Sanders primary and Clinton general in 2016, and Warren primary and Biden general in 2020. Anyone who read my post and assumed I supported Sanders in 2020 was...well, I don't know what. I've been very clear that I was and am a Warren supporter.

Starting a thread to unpack this @courierjournal article, possibly the deepest dive profile to date on our organization’s work to change the narrative & impact culture by using the power of story to transcend politics & shift the conversation... courier-journal.com/story/life/201…
@courierjournal According to reporter @SavannahEadens: "What started as a social movement and storytelling platform asking people to #DefineAmerican, the #Louisville -based nonprofit is trying to change the narrative around immigration & citizenship in the United States.”
@courierjournal It’s no accident that the conversation about how we @defineamerican is based in #Kentucky, the birthplace of iconic cultural figures such as Lincoln & Ali — & the former Confederate States President Jefferson Davis … It’s my home as well.
