"It’s the human resources we are running low on. ... it’s the human cost of caring for these patients that has been keeping me up at night the past couple of weeks and really making me nauseous every day."

"I’ve taken care of a lot of husband-wife patients, unfortunately. ...

She ended up passing. A few days after, he went home, and I didn’t see him, so I don’t know how he took it. He wasn’t able to see her before she passed."

"I started noticing that I was emotionally tired. I was physically completely exhausted. And I was beginning to question whether or not I could continue forward being a nurse at all. I was past my physical capacity."

"And I really wish that I could take people on a day with me so that they can see what I see. So that they can feel your feet ache so bad that you wish they’d just fall off ..."

"Someone in their 20s was very difficult for us. Because you think: That was a young life. What a young life that was, and they’re not here anymore. Because of a virus. That’s hard. It’s very hard.

But now it’s just — it’s almost everyone’s story."

"It’s not just that our priorities are wrong; food is not a national policy priority at all. We invest in, and care more about, the energy that drives our cars and trucks than the energy that drives our bodies."

"When the pandemic struck, the US Dept of Agriculture set aside $16 billion in emergency aid to farmers, who were by then destroying their crops, but spent only $3 billion to actually purchase their fresh produce, dairy products and meat and distribute them to the hungry."
"Restaurants, which had employed more than 12 million Americans before the pandemic, were closed by public order but received no bailout.

Airlines in the United States, which currently employ about 700,000 people worldwide, received $25 billion and carried right on flying."

Journalists do not need to spend more time trying to understand Trump voters and their refusal to accept Trump's loss.

We already understand Trump voters.

Most of us are just so appalled by that understanding that we have trouble believing it.
Those who follow Trump believe they are inherently superior to “others,” though exactly who those “others” are can vary from follower to follower (ex: BIPOC, women, LGBTQ+, immigrants, intellectuals, "city folk," the poor, the "elite", the pro-choice, etc…).
Trump followers want to be able to ACT on their feelings of superiority in varying ways – from being thoughtlessly inconsiderate to being intentionally intolerant – without facing any social or legal consequences for their actions.

That “Crowdstrike Conspiracy” that Trump was pressuring Pres Zelensky of Ukraine to validate?

That conspiracy theory is an attempt to discredit the entire Unites States Intelligence Community (USIC) as well as the Mueller Report.

nytimes.com/2019/09/25/us/…
Why would the president of the USA withhold financial aid (worth apx $400 million) in order to pressure a foreign leader to validate a conspiracy theory designed to invalidate the unanimous findings of the US Intelligence Community?

politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
Because the unanimous conclusion of the US Intelligence Community (CIA, FBI, NSA, etc...) was that Russia interfered in the 2016 US elections to help get Trump elected.

Link to the official report from the Director of National Intelligence:

@NARAL Too many people fall for the emotional propaganda about "saving babies' lives" and don't stop to think about the lives of the women whose freedom of bodily autonomy is being taken away.
@NARAL If you want to save children’s lives, there are many ways that you can help save a child in the USA.

Adopt one of the 400,000+ kids in the US foster care system. You might not be saving their lives literally, but to them, you will be a life saver.

@NARAL Volunteer to tutor poor children living in shelters. They are among the most likely to drop out of school. A little tutoring and encouragement might help them graduate high school and have a better chance at a decent job.

"The Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion."

#MuellerReport

Russia attacked the US using a new form of warfare.

Essentially Russia invaded the US. They just used the internet instead of tanks.

#MuellerReport justice.gov/storage/report…
Take note of this statement from page 2 of the Mueller Report.

"A statement that the investigation did not *establish* particular facts
does NOT mean there was no evidence of those facts."

Watch for use of the word "ESTABLISH".
