listen I’m not an infectious disease expert simply running on vibes here but if you have covid and you’re thinking about leaving your house after 5 days instead of 10, please don’t 🥲

There’s a difference between quitting and removing yourself from a situation that no longer serves you.

Academic writing is wild bc you’ll read four articles just to write one sentence.
Anyway, here’s a thread of resources I’ve been using to speed through this review I’m working on:

You can’t reform the police.
The system of policing is doing exactly what it was designed to do.

AMAZING how police consistently make the most “mistakes” when the person they’re dealing with is Black yet they manage to apprehend white mass shooters without killing them time & time again.

If someone has been a police officer for 26 years & can’t distinguish a gun from a taser, that’s a solid indication as any that training will do nothing & it’s time to abolish this relic of slavery.

We’re collecting testimonies from the Japanese American community to support HR40, a bill that would create a commission to examine the consequences of slavery & make recommendations on reparations for Black Americans.
Testimonies are due on Friday, 2/12: tsuruforsolidarity.org/hr-40…

Riz Ahmed discusses the different "stages of representation" with Steven Yeun: "Stage 1 of representation, which is a stereotype. I get asked to play the terrorist, you get asked to play the Kung Fu master" #ActorsOnActors presented by @AmazonStudios bit.ly/2L0aFMM

ICU availability in Southern California is at 0%! They just detected a novel strain of COVID currently only in CA! They're literally lifting air quality regulations in LA so they can burn more corpses!
And Newsom's response is to ease restrictions?! I feel like I'm going insane.
BREAKING: I have obtained an email from the California Restaurant Association that says @GavinNewsom will be lifting the stay-at-home order for all regions across the state tomorrow. This includes the San Joaquin Valley Region that contains all Central Valley counties

The fact that we focus on "obesity" as an epidemic over malnutrition, poverty, food deserts, and a general lack of access to affordable healthcare for both kids and adults tells you everything you need to know about fatphobia, classism, and capitalism tbh.

Elections have consequences.
Biden within hours of taking the oath of office was able to: revoke Muslim ban, rejoin Paris Climate Agreement,
extend federal eviction moratorium,
rescind Census orders to exclude non-citizens, preserve/fortify DACA and much more.
It’s a new day.

His name is #EugeneGoodman
With domestic terrorists storming towards him, he looked to his left - saw the Senate chamber - and led them to his right up the steps to protect the people.
A Black person who protected his country even when it hasn't protected him
Honor this man!

Some people ask: Why would you impeach and convict a president who has only a few days left in office? The answer: Precedent. It must be made clear that no president, now or in the future, can lead an insurrection against the U.S. government.
