BREAKING: After growing Covid-19 outbreak, @TysonFoods plant in Waterloo, Iowa, is finally being shut down indefinitely. kwwl.com/2020/04/22/bre…
My sources there say move was prompted in part by number of workers refusing to show up to work and that hospital is full of @TysonFoods trying to get tested.

I so appreciate the way this reporter didn’t let him get away with his gaslighting when he first denied it was a Confederate flag, then said if it was,it was important for kids to be taught the history of what it stood for, asking “What does it stand for?” wlns.com/news/local-new…
Sidebar: Your wife sat at home and decided to sew you a Confederate flag face mask and instructed you to wear it to your job representing all the citizens of Michigan in the state legislature.
I can’t let this go. We are in a global pandemic and he is a legislator in a state where black people are dying at the highest rate, and his wife decided to sew him a Confederate flag mask to wear to the legislature? As @AdamSerwer said so well: The cruelty is the point.

This is dressed up bootstrapped-ism that maintains inequality by suggesting people can overcome systemic and structural racism if they simply tried harder. Giving a nod to those inequalities and then dismissing them by pointing to personal responsibility is part of the playbook.
Here’s the thing— he spent five seconds on structural inequality, didn’t write an open letter to white Americans and government officials about when are they going to address the immoral conditions that kill black people, so the notion that it’s both/and isn’t born out here.
I’m waiting on that open letter about how American families should take personal responsibility and not put their loved ones in nursing homes because if they didn’t, all these older people wouldn’t be dying in them. But we would never see that argument. Because it’s ridiculous.
