As more people are vaccinated, #COVID19 rates are RISING across the country.

Can someone please explain this?
Let me be CRYSTAL clear: My tweet has nothing to do with questioning or discouraging vaccines, in any way, shape, or form.

My concern is that we've needed numerous other measures to protect people, which the government refuses to do.
I posted this in the first weeks of the pandemic.

Imagine how many lives could have been saved if the government did its job?

i'm so thrilled with biden. he exudes dignity, decency, compassion, kindness, and thoughtfulness. he is so awesome and amazing that I can barely contain myself. biden is the anti-trump. trump is the orange evil man. biden can do no wrong because he's too good to comprehend wrong.
also, i love chess, but i could never imagine playing seven dimensional chess like nancy pelosi. nancy rules. she got under trump's skin so bad. she's just a fabulously brilliant strategist who makes the gop look so horrible and terrible and bad. so bad.
and don't even get me started about obama. he brought so much hope and change that i felt like i was drowning in hope and change. hope and change was everywhere with obama. and he droned those evil terrorists and they'll never hurt our homeland. never ever never.

THREAD - GUITAR GENIUS

There are many talented young guitar players, but I've yet to hear anyone with the depth, creativity, & range of #MatteoMancuso.

Impossibly talented, in his early 20s, this Italian guitarist spans multiple styles with brilliance.

THREAD - GUITAR GENIUS (Matteo Mancuso)

This solo is staggering in its conception and execution:

Here are legends to celebrate during #BlackHistoryMonth.

Start with the most spiritual of geniuses, by the name of Coltrane.

No, not John...

One of the greatest of all tenors...

The incomparable Bobby Hutcherson with one of the most beautiful jazz tunes...

I don't give a damn if Biden wears a Rolex.

I give a damn that he has more than half a dozen sexual harassment allegations and a history of groping girls and women.

The comments in this thread from people who claim to support #MeToo are just ... repulsive.
For those with their heads in the sand:

Is there any secret I can share having been inside the system?

Yes.

For the most part, they're all buddies.
You know, like this...
And this...

THREAD — WHY BOTH PARTIES SUCK

The GOP is pure trash. Rightwing extremists. Theocrats. White supremacists.

Dem leaders are their willing enablers, more hateful to the left than to fascists.

They serve the same goal: upholding a cruel system that oppresses the working class.
WHAT HAPPENED UNDER DEM MAJORITIES?

Mass deportation. Caged children. Droned babies. Gitmo. Gun violence. Prosecuting whistleblowers. Healthcare disaster. Bloated military. More war. Racist policing. Climate crisis. Billionaire bailouts. Obscene inequality. Homelessness. Hunger.
THE DUOPOLY CAUSES IMMENSE SUFFERING

We have the wealth and resources not to have a single houseless person, a single hungry person, a single caged child, a single citizen without healthcare and money for basic necessities.

Instead, we get this:
