I am having a very tough time with heart and lung problems from the virus. 40% or more of people who get #COVID will have long-term damage to heart, lungs, kidneys, more. You really MUST protect yourselves and others. Please--#WearAMask, stay home🏡 #WashYourHands and stay safe.
Here are some data on common long-term impacts of having had the coronavirus, notably the heart. These issues are not to be confused with #longhauler syndrome, which is different and acutely disabling.

The German study was even more concerning than the WHO study. 78% of covid patients had heart complications (like I have had). But even at 40% with some complication that is 10.4M Americans currently. Hardly a small number of people impacted.
From the Mayo Clinic, more data on the longterm effects of having #COVID19. As of Jan. 31, nearly 27M Americans have tested positive for the virus.

Remember the 1st debate and how abusive Trump was? Trump gave men permission to be as abusive as he was. He abused women. He normalized it. He was accused of rape, but shrugged it off. He and his GOP cohort abused and targeted WOC. AOC was a prime target, yet it was normalized.
I put this thread📌 up so we don't forget the past 4yrs and what happened--how we were collectively gaslighted into believing that we were over-reacting and being hyperbolic when that was not the case at all. Trump tried to turn us into a nation of cynical, empathy-less monsters.
So if you are one of the people who claims to be a Democrat or progressive and you are spewing GOP talking points about VAW, slither on over to that side where you belong. Every time VAW is dismissed it makes it harder for the next woman to disclose and perpetuates rape culture.

Nobody's talking about this, but since I was assigned a story about it, I think it's crucial. Biden signed these EOs:
▪Ordered DOJ to end use of private prisons
▪Affirmed Tribal sovereignty
▪Disavowed Asian-American xenophobia
▪Address biases and discrimination in housing
Racial equity is a hallmark issue for Biden-Harris. And Biden also invoked George Floyd's killing and the racial justice protests that murder we all were witnesses to.
I don't think we can overstate the significance of Biden addressing racism and also repeatedly referencing white nationalism as a significant threat to the nation.

When men say things they are protected by patriarchal assent.
When women says things it is always perceived as a provocation to that assent.
Lauren Wolfe did nothing wrong. And if we don't start addressing the breadth of misogyny in mainstream media, we are in deep trouble.
Misogyny literally gave us Trump, enabling his every anti-normative action whilst also demonizing every attempt by Hillary Clinton to hold him accountable--always using misogynist language to do so. When you frame truth-telling as "shrill" and "strident," you dismiss the message.
Also, the question of accountability of journalists seems to accrue solely to women. The NYT is concerned that Wolfe might be "soft" on Biden because she got "chills" that we made it to the other side of the insurrection, but men who sexually harass women are still on NYT staff.

Giving the GOP credit for the work of Democrats is indeed an "unpopular"--and inaccurate--take. The 150 GOP members of Congress who participated in the sedition are all still in Congress AND the leader of that fight to overturn the election is House Minority Leader, McCarthy.
The Constitution prevailed because Pelosi, Schumer, the Democrats and Mitch McConnell's fealty to his own power prevailed. And the police and National Guard removed the insurrectionists. But pretending we didn't come *thisclose* to losing this fight would be naïve madness.
Even this morning Kevin McCarthy is trying to claim that we ALL bear responsibility for the attack on the Capitol. Not only is this counterfactual, but that event was spurred by TWO MONTHS of Trump, McCarthy, Scalise, Graham, Cruz, Hawley & more claiming the election was rigged.

This is a pretty big story. Sen. Tom Cotton, youngest GOP senator and a putative 2024 presidential candidate, lied about serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Wow.

*Sorry I had to delete my first posting of this--the link was broken.
There really is no way to overstate how big a story this is. The question is--why are we just hearing about it now?

Hey--remember that time Meghan McCain cried on Joe Biden's shoulder on @TheView after her father died and Biden comforted her like he does? Well today, she's trashing him for not wearing a mask while he gave a speech in an empty part of the Capitol.
Pretty sure Biden is socially distanced here and he usually removes his mask when he gives a speech.

Stop thinking these people are our friends.
And never forget that it was Meghan McCain's husband, founder of The Federalist, who created the "Kamala is a cop" meme and monetized it, selling T-shirts.
