Did folks forget Biden is implementing the #GND and that Harris not only ran on it, but was the first to co-sponsor it and co-wrote GND legislation with AOC? Also, ICE was established by Bush2 to profile and deport brown people, which is ALL it does. It's 100% racist AND fascist.
ICE is the GOP-bred goon squad that nabs parents outside schools, old people outside churches and undocumented workers doing jobs Americans refuse to do. Only the GOP is pro-ICE. If ICE is your immigration plan, rethink it.
People are all riled up about the border when they should be riled up about the GOP seditionists still in the House and Senate. Even moderate Democrats know ICE needs to go.

This is a critically important thread.📌 Mocking #disability is, alas, bipartisan--everyone loves to do it. When I challenge people about their #ableism, they take offense. Non-disabled people talk over and through #disabled people all the time. Stop using ableist language. ...
... Disabled people are victimized on so many levels by so many people. Performative #ableism is commonplace. People use ableist language constantly. And victimizing disabled people is systemic. More than half of all police shootings are of disabled people. All so disheartening.
Case in point: If anyone GAF about #disabled people, Cuomo would have been forced to resign months ago over what he did to disabled and elderly people. And Trump's abuse of a #disabled reporter was a clear indicator of his #ableism, bigotry and saying the quiet parts out loud.

The importance of this, particularly in states like mine or LA, MS and OH, with repressive abortion regulation, cannot be overstated. You don't have to personally support abortion to know this is a civil rights and healthcare issue for women as well as a class and race issue.
Biden is personally anti-abortion, as are many Catholics. (John Kerry, Tim Kaine also.) But he is politically aware that abortion is a woman's choice and must be legal and safe. The way to get to fewer abortions? Make contraception available to young and poor women.
The fact we stopped talking about contraception is bc men control the reproductive rights narrative. There's a veritable embargo on easy-access affordable contraception in the US. When abortions are easier to access--and they are hard to get--than contraception, women get harmed.

Anita Hill faced similar harassment from Clarence Thomas. I covered that story as a young reporter and the language folks are using now against Cuomo's accusers is exactly the same--misogynist and vile.

Cuomo Faces New Claims of Sexual Harassment nytimes.com/2021/03/19/nyr…
People claimed Anita Hill was bribed to accuse Clarence Thomas. She was accused of trying to derail the career of a prominent man. Same as now. It's shameful how some Democrats are treating the victims, even after Biden's unequivocal statement. Their lives are the ones derailed.
The worst statements, made repeatedly, are that Tish James is investigating to pave her way to governor (false) and that anything less than rape is meaningless (vile and untrue). If Cuomo were GOP these same folks would be screaming for his head. The misogyny is appalling.

"I regret that you weren't bright enough to understand why I have 'Prof' in my moniker."You're an economist, not a scientist nor epidemiologist. Folks who are have called you out for your facile deconstruction of data and for misinformation. You doubled down on your bad polemic.
Equating unvaccinated children with vaccinated adults is a false equivalency and a highly dangerous one. We can argue that children have lower risk levels, but not that their risk is just like the vaccinated. Also, cautious get togethers at July 4th =/= all clear herd immunity.
A publication like @TheAtlantic, which has done so much superb in-depth reporting on the coronavirus should have made a better editorial decision on this story. The author asserting that the only problem is the framing of the headline is just as problematic as the story itself.

The more we know about the victims of the #Atlanta shootings, the more heartbreaking and enraging the story. There are so many people who are ancillary victims of this crime--the children, spouses and other family of the victims. What a terrible, horrible crime this was.
▪Xiaojie Tan, 49. Owner of Young's Spa. Mother.
▪Daoyou Feng, 44. Employee of Ms. Tan
▪Paul Michel, 54, mechanic employee of Ms. Tan
▪Delaina Ashley Yaun, 33. Newlywed mother of a baby. At Young's on a spa date.
▪Elcias Hernandez-Ortiz, 30. In ICU. Shot outside w/his child.
These are the names of the Cherokee County victims. The names of the four Asian women victims in #Atlanta have not yet been released pending notification of their families, said Deputy Chief of the Atlanta PD, Charles Hampton.

The names of the Asian woman owner of one of the spas, two Asian women employees, a white woman customer, white male mechanic employee, all murdered, plus a Latinx man wounded and in ICU, have been released.

Atlanta spa shootings: Who are the victims? bbc.com/news/world-us-…
The 30yr old man who was wounded was shot outside one of the spas. He was with his 9yr old daughter. She was not physically harmed, but witnessed her father shot in the head. That the owner of one spa was shot suggests that the shooter knew at least that particular woman victim.
The woman client had gone with her husband for a massage. He was not physically harmed. She was 33 and had two children, including an 8mo old.
