1/ So much pain and suffering could have been avoided if 1) our healthcare system was designed to improve health more than increase profit, 2) our govt agencies were quick and responsive to the needs of people over the demands of an unjust economy...

2/ 3) the president had moved quickly to provide all equipment & medical support, which he had the authority to do, and 4) our govt had provided immediate sustained bailout in the form of #directcashrelief.

3/ Instead, the virus hit us much harder than it had to & a wave of economic despair has slammed us hard. Now people want to go back to work to pay their rent & feed their kids, which is likely to cause the next wave of mass infection. Terrible? Yes, but important to understand .

4/ I don’t think we can get out of this mess until enough of us face it in all its horror; not just the results of bad government but the reality of bad government - its utter venality. And it is ours to change. It will not be easy but our democracy, and our lives, depend on it.

And it’s not gonna happen if enough people use that as an excuse not to make sure Trump is defeated in November. I know what they did. Believe me I know. But that’s two broken legs and right now we’re having a heart attack.

Marianne is right! It is time for the people to step in. Our democracy, and our lives, depend on it.

Sadly, many of us assumed our government cared about us. It's time for change.

To get Medicare For All, we need the seats in Congress. While certainly possible to win now, the establishment makes it very difficult there UNLESS we win many local and state offices first. Those Berniecrats can then help elect many more, all the way up! localberniecrats.com

Find local Berniecrat candidates here

Go local! Run and support those who do!

Seems to me that politics blinds many, and Democrats end up cheering on the Communist Chinese Party. The blame game is not helping.

#DonaldDeath could so easily have been a hero. I do not understand what drove him to this criminally negligent genocide. How does the slaughter serve his purpose? It seems purely evil and destructive.

The CDC reports overall death numbers have not swelled much above Nov-Jan levels, Govt Funding encourages CoViD-19 death certificates, NY sends CoViD patients to vulnerable nursing homes, Medicare funding requires risky intubation over CPAP. What a clown show.
