My colleague @Will_Bunch launches his newsletter today with a story that cuts to my heart. It's about environmental racism in a poor LA parish where I once lived. I write all the time about how imperative local news is. This is why.

I know we have many foci these days, with #COVID19 stalking us. But just as the virus disproportionately impacts BIPOC and poor people, so does environmental racism.

Please read this tremendous piece by Will and please--give it a RT. Thanks.

There are many ways to fight racism. One is to explain to white people how many layers there is to racism & how devastating they can be. This piece does that powerfully. I hope you will read it, share it and remember this is why BIPOC are dying every day.

Dr. Fauci, in an interview on @ABC, says "We need to be careful that we don't talk about America in totality" when we talk about re-opening the country "because there are so many levels of outbreak."
Dr. Fauci tells @DavidMuir that "there are so many areas of the country that are more attuned to get ready for a return to normality than others." He says it will be a "rolling re-entry," "not like a light switch going on."

Dr. Fauci says "we need to have contact tracing IMMEDIATELY after identifying an infected person, not many many days after."

In 2018, I wrote Abrams was the most inspirational candidate of the midterms. Anyone claiming she's not qualified is not looking at her resume or her amazing energy.

Stacey Abrams on Biden: "I Would Be an Excellent Running Mate" politicususa.com/2020/04/15/sta…
While I might have a different fave for VP, I love that Abrams is campaigning for the post--she's managed to get more press for Biden than Biden has, which is itself a selling point.

Stacey Abrams says she would be an 'excellent' running mate for Biden thehill.com/homenews/campa…
Folks WILL find anything to attack a black woman for, though, won't they? How on earth is it "arrogant" for a woman to do what men do every day?
Here's Abrams' speech from midterms. She is electrifying.

This asks us to commisserate with someone who used their 2016 platform to undermine the 1st woman nominee in US history. Hillary said she stood between us and the Apocalypse. Some of us reported who/what Trump was. Others had the privilege to ignore that AND the past 3+yrs. Sigh.
I warned about Trump in a couple hundred articles from Dec 2014 through a week before the election. This is what the white male pseudo-left pundit class was claiming: that Trump was left of Hillary. Incredible, really.
How do people pretend this didn't happen? Plus, has everyone forgotten how many of the male pundits who hammered Hillary were fired in #MeToo scandals? The ease with which structural misogyny is dismissed is stunning. The first woman in 240yrs. But sure.
