🚨BREAKING:

Biden affirms he will continue the GOP policy of reopening no matter the #COVID death toll.

"We are not going back to [shutdowns]."
Democrats decided they wanted the political "win" of appearing to vanquish the virus.

So rather than pay Americans a monthly stipend to stay distanced and starve the virus of contact, Biden pushed reopening even more than Trump.
Biden and Dem leaders played right into GOP hands by predicting #COVID19 was going away by July 4th.

How can you criticize anti-vaxxers when you're telling them things are returning to normal?

Was anything more obvious than another surge????

While many of us were insisting that people needed a monthly stipend, Biden, Pelosi, and Dems were shortchanging people with a one-time $1400 check. They put the oligarchs first, pretended everything was fine, and now more people will suffer and die.

Biden and his media boosters spent months trying to convince America we were about to put #COVID behind us. July 4th was going to be a magical day when everything started returning to "normal."

It was bullshit and many of us called it out at the time. Now look where we are...
Back in March, I warned about the danger of #COVID19 triumphalism.

It was clear as day that the virus wasn't done with us. But capitalism needed its fodder, so the workers had to go back to work.
To those saying it's not Biden's fault, it's rightwingers refusing to get vaccinated...then why play into their talking point that the virus is nothing and we should just open things up?

The "it's over" propaganda was pushed by Dems to make Biden look like a hero. It backfired.

If you're furious that Bill Cosby is walking free

...but you're giving Joe Biden a pass for multiple accusations of sexual misconduct

...you're doing it wrong.

THREAD: BRUTAL #COVID TRUTH

With the J&J vaccine now on hold, let's assess:

From day one, both parties have shared the same pandemic strategy, though Dems have vaccinated more people.

1. Make sure billionaires keep minting $$.
2. Sacrifice lives to keep corporations humming.
THREAD: BRUTAL #COVID19 TRUTH

Both parties have made sure to provide as little help to people as possible.

Both parties have agitated for schools to reopen prematurely.

Both parties have sent the public mixed messages.

Both parties have avoided measures for REAL mitigation.
THREAD: BRUTAL #CORONAVIRUS TRUTH

There has always been only one (obvious) way to deal with the pandemic. I've tweeted some version of it since last March.

Here it is again:

Dismissing all supernatural, paranormal, and mystical experiences means you think it's perfectly rational that a universe popped out of nothing/nowhere and we're floating on a blue ball in an impossibly vast space where particles communicate across virtually limitless distances.
Fascinating how so many in the thread are assuming this is about religion.

People realize that supernatural, paranormal, and mystical experiences don't necessarily have ANYTHING to do with organized religion, correct?
I'm honestly baffled at some of the angry reactions to my original tweet.

I'm simply saying that people have inexplicable experiences that are outside the realm of the ordinary.

And to dismiss them doesn't make sense when our very existence is fundamentally inexplicable.

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.
