Beautiful statement from @WidowsYoung's @readingswan ๐Ÿ’›

"Hard work, professionalism, heart, and generosity."
A gentle reminder from Travis that this work isn't free.

๐ŸงตICYMI: @DCodeDemocracy's @AnnMRavel & @MarkedByCovid's @kdurquiza talk about how to fignt #vaccine #disinformation and end #Covid_19 in @CNN's Perspectives:

cnn.com/2021/09/01/perโ€ฆ
In May 2020, just before AZ's infection rate soared, Gov @dougducey encouraged residents not to stay home. "I want to encourage people to get out and about," Ducey told listeners of a popular radio show. "If you don't have an underlying health condition, it's safe out there."
The interview was then shared on @Facebook and @Twitter. Many people listened to that dangerous advice โ€” and many, including @kdurquiza's father, Mark Urquiza, paid with their lives after contracting the disease.

"To say that weโ€™re on the brink of disaster offers hope that the people in charge can take steps to keep us from plunging toward an abyss. It suggests that the situation is at least temporarily sustainable, that maybe you can keep hunkering down and doing what youโ€™ve been doing๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿพ
...and everything will be fine. But it is not sustainable, and it is not fine. The health care system is not approaching some kind of cliff, while still functioningโ€”what is happening right now is killing people like Daniel Wilkinson. People who do not have to die are dying."
"My time as a doctor has been defined by working in a system that has already collapsed. The American health system I work in has featured limited personal protective equipment, oxygen shortages, and the construction of field hospitals in convention centers and parking garages...

It's been eight months since Congress passed the CARES Act. Since then, millions have gotten sick, hundreds of thousands have died, and countless families have struggled through this crisis alone.

We need a second relief bill and we need it NOW. actionnetwork.org/forms/2012_emaโ€ฆ

(1/4)
(2/4)There's no good reason for this hold-up โ€“ Mitch McConnell has been gatekeeping a second relief for every single family in this country for months and the effects have been devastating.
(3/4) Food lines are growing longer, the CDC's eviction moratorium is set to expire soon, and there are 9.8 million fewer jobs in the economy. And now we only have 9 DAYS to secure a second relief bill.

THREAD RT: My dad #MarkUrquiza was an actual warrior, @IvankaTrump. Your father killed my father. I know you know who I am and what I think. I saw you nod at me when you and your caravan of vectors walked past me at Tuesday night's debate. (1/9)
I practiced restraint to show respect to you, your Dad, the rules @debates, and @ClevelandClinic set before us, @JoeBiden, and democracy. I had a copy of my Dad's obituary ready to hand to you. (2/9)
But I don't have to show the same kind of restraint here, especially in light of the developments that your family and the ghoulish republican party in complete arrogant disregard of the rules the rest of the attendees agreed to put our lives in danger. (3/9)

RT THREAD: At the #DNC I spoke of two Americas. We see it on full display this evening. #POTUS was taken to a hospital out of "caution" to monitor is reported symptoms of low-grade fever, chills, cough, and low-energy. On June 11th my Dad woke up with the same symptoms (1/4)
My dad was told to come back if he couldn't breathe. Five days later on June 16th, my mother rushed him to the hospital as he gasped for air. His ICU doctor said he wished he would have come in sooner to the hospital. (2/4)
Would #MarkUrquiza be here today if he in his America he had access to that type of care? But it's not just Mark what about the families of the Rio Grande who called for an ambulance and were told the backlog was 3 hours to receive emergency transport? (3/4)
