Abortion is part of essential, not elective, healthcare and it is time sensitive.

Pay attention to what patriarchy does under cover of #Covid_19: Iowa, Ohio, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi use the pandemic to suspend abortion access

desmoinesregister.com/story/news/hea… via @DMRegister
And here is info on Ohio, Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi
“It’s hardly new for anti-abortion politicians to seize on any excuse to try to restrict women’s bodily autonomy, but it is a new low to exploit a pandemic”

“Access to abortion is an essential service and a fundamental human right. Period. The denial of it, including in times of global crisis like the Covid-19 pandemic, constitutes cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment.”

Across the U.S., about 2.5 million farmworkers, most of whom are Latinx, work on American farms.

“...the value of the agricultural labor force, which has long lived in the shadows, is becoming much clearer to Americans than it’s ever been.” #COVID19 google.com/amp/s/civileat…
“Advocates say it’s the conditions outside of work that place farmworkers in most danger. Many workers carpool to work—with 4 to 6 workers sharing a single car—or are bused to work on packed buses. And their crowded living conditions pose perhaps the biggest challenge.” #COVID19
“A growing number of foreign guest workers, most hailing from #Mexico, are brought to the U.S. every year under the H-2A visa program...the State Department last week decided to suspend visa processing at the U.S. Embassy and consulates in Mexico...” #COVID19

“Because [farmworkers are] nervous about the idea of the shelter-in-place orders, what’s going to happen to them? They live paycheck to paycheck...If our ag workers don’t keep working, we’re not going to have fruits and veggies in the markets” kqed.org/news/11808267/… #COVID19
Fresno City Council President Miguel Arias said he’s worried about undocumented farmworkers:

“My biggest concern with the undocumented residents is that they’re going to be scared to come in and be checked and ask for a test, even though we know that they’re sick”

“They’re so used to going to work, irrespective of their health conditions or whether they’re under the weather and running a fever, that once they begin to use our health care system for the coronavirus, our health care system will be overwhelmed.” #COVID19

This is E 180th St. station in the Bronx. This is what it’s like to NOT have the privilege of working from home. Social distancing is a privilege that many don’t have. #COVID19 #NYC
When Trump et al talk about “Reopening America” remember that America HAS been open because so many did not have the privilege to work from home. The “economy” Trump wants to “save” was never for them
Who HAS been keeping America open: it is always about race, class & gender:

Among the US workforce, just 16.2% of Latinx workers and 19.7% of Black Americans are able to work from home, while about 30% of whites and 37% of Asian-Americans can. #COVID19

The ventilator is one of the most important pieces of equipment in the fight against coronavirus. If a patient can’t breathe on their own, a ventilator helps move air in and out of the lungs for them - providing oxygen and also, importantly, removing carbon dioxide. (1/19)
Ventilators are also called breathing machines. They were also previously called respirators, but that is an outdated use of the word. Respirators in a health care setting typically means a protective mask. (2/19)
Respiratory therapists help manage the ventilators and help care for patients using them. And, the room where a ventilator is stored has to be properly equipped, including oxygen and back-up power supply to make sure the ventilator never stops accidentally. (3/19)

Part 3. In January of 2000, Koch Industries Inc. agreed to pay $35 million in penalties for leaking 3 million gallons of oil into lakes and streams in six states. In total there were 300 spills across the nation in #Kansas, #Texas,# Oklahoma, #Louisiana, #Missouri and #Alabama.
It was the highest civil fine levied against one company under the Clean Water Act.
The spills killed thousands of fish and birds.

How many states do "they" have resolutions from in order to call a Constitutional Convention? There are several organizations pushing a call for a ConCon & they don't agree with each other. In fact the main one, Balanced Budget Amendment Task Force doesn't even agree with itself!
In 2016, the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) uncovered infighting amongst the many organizations. This resulted in Nick Dranias, a lawyer and former director of policy development at the Goldwater Institute, to be ousted from his job as Director of Compact for America.
Because he argued with the BBATF about the count.
