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.

(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.

If I had a platform, this would be my OpEd:
Nancy Pelosi Just Torpedoed Joe Biden

Over the weekend, the US Senate worked at a fevered pace to put together a bi-partisan economic rescue package. According to Mitch McConnell, the Senate had 5 working groups cooperating across party lines targeting the common goals
of helping both the workers and the companies impacted by the forced economic shut down due to the spread of the Coronavirus.

Then, without warning, on Sunday evening Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi

The Most Unrivalry Rivalry: Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova.
The world of tennis was upended by the arrival and establishment of the Williams sisters in the 1990s. Two young African American prodigies, they set about marking their territory, first by Venus, the older sister, who reached the finals of the US Open unseeded.
Two years later, the younger sister, Serena, did one better by winning the US Open, defeating the same opponent her sister faced, Martina Hingis, and firmly heralding a new era of Big Babe tennis and athleticism not previously seen in the game.

1. Hearing from God. John 5:30 (NLT)- “I can do nothing on my own. I judge as God tells me. Therefore, my judgment is just, because I carry out the will of the one who sent me, not my own will“ #Rest
2. This life was designed to be a walk with God in a state of rest. God finished the foundational work of creation and put us in a state of rest - Genesis 2. #Rest
3. That rest is achieved when we live in alignment with what God has already accomplished in heaven. #Rest

Male omegas are rare. Rare, and highly sought after.

Jimin is a male omega who takes suppressants on the daily and hides his scent with blockers and beta oils.
It wasn’t until he joined Seoul University and met Min Yoongi did those precautions stop working.
