earnest tweet but my partner @chezseamus spent the last five months writing and producing this mini-doc (ENTIRELY remotely) on everything Trump ignored and actively destabilized to cause 192,000 people to die
it's narrated by Jeffrey Wright, it's free on YouTube, and has all the the facts on exactly what Trump did that lead to this bullshit situation we are in now. You can watch a preview here but please check out the whole thing above too
the SHEER AMOUNT OF CABLE NEWS VIEWED IN THIS HOME just to try to untangle all of the lies from the actual truth, you would not believe
a great day to learn that on February 7 Trump said, in an on-the-record interview, "This is deadly stuff...more deadly than even your strenuous flu," and on March 19, "I still like playing it down, because I don’t want to create a panic." nytimes.com/live/2020/09/0…
the footage where trump said "the flu kills way more people" and "it's gonna go away on its own" can conveniently be reviewed in American Pathogen
thread of some of the information left on the cutting room floor from this doc 👇

i have some issues with the idea that facebook is the canary in the coal mine of genuine american political sentiment laid out in this post nytimes.com/2020/08/27/tec…
1) it cites “millions” of interactions for conservative pages like ben shapiro’s, based on CrowdTangle data. CrowdTangle doesn’t distinguish between organic interactions and interactions that come from paid promotion for non-ad, “organic” posts.
There is no data to reflect which Facebook pages are simply spending a fuck ton of money boosting their posts and which aren’t. Ben Shapiro could simply be spending a fuck ton of money promoting his posts.
