RT @DashaBurns: THREAD: I just spent 3 days with frontline workers at hospitals in a part of Appalachia where hospitalizations have more than doubled in the last month. But hospital staff say many in their hard-hit communities still don’t believe COVID is real. Misinformation is rampant.
RT @DashaBurns: These frontline workers see multiple deaths during a single shift...then go out into a world where people downplay the virus, say masks infringe on their civil liberties, and tell stories of big gatherings. And they know they will make more calls to the funeral home tomorrow.
RT @DashaBurns: This is heartbreaking for families and also for health workers who often treat people they know personally in these small, tight-knit communities. They are watching neighbors die because they were told by leaders they trust that this virus is a hoax.
RT @DashaBurns: Ultimately, politicization and misinformation around COVID are having tragic real-world consequences. People are dying because they don’t seek medical care when they begin having symptoms. They don’t believe they’re sick. And by the time they get to the hospital it‘s too late.
RT @DashaBurns: Another nurse told me some come in severely sick with COVID, but when they test positive they blame the hospital for giving it to them. There’s a popular conspiracy theory that hospitals are benefitting financially from COVID. But in fact, many are struggling to stay afloat.
RT @DashaBurns: One nurse told me stories of otherwise healthy 30 year-olds coming in short of breath and not understanding why. She tries showing them chest x-rays and explaining evidence of the disease, but often they don’t believe they have COVID until they’re in critical condition.

RT @robferdman: Absolute bombshell of a report from The Courier Journal: LMPD hid almost 750,000 records documenting the sexual abuse of minors by Louisville police officers, and then lied to keep the files from the public https://t.co/6NrQu5rwgN
Trump is now raising tens of millions of dollars for himself and a brand new PAC he formed. It's all a big ass money grab. He's not even actively doing his basic job anymore. He's stoking anger and getting rich off of it. https://t.co/BeruyaHkZZ

RT @shaunking: As Hakeem Jeffries (@RepJeffries) dismisses The Squad as "internet celebrities" what he WILL NEVER DO is compare the fact that 97.31% of all of his fundraising comes from super-rich donors and PACs up against how regular everyday people fund the campaigns of The Squad. https://t.co/Gqlf8tJ8wS
RT @davidminpdx: I mean it might not work – because the election results are just a bit too clear – but the groundwork for a coup is being laid by all sorts of people. Not just Trump and his immediate orbit, but lots of people throughout the Republican party and conservative movement. https://t.co/BihwkB2jmq
If you are ever stumped as to why @RepJeffries refuses to support the most progressive policies in the country, out of step with what the voters in his district want, just follow the money. His donors don't want it. And without his rich donors, Hakeem would hardly raise a dime. https://t.co/9QA9edrH04

RT @maxberger: The Pelosi-Jeffries wing of the party frames the debate in the Democratic Party as between those who “want to win or be internet celebs.” That’s BS. The debate is between progressives who want the party to represent working people, and Corporate Democrats who listen to Wall St. https://t.co/WTAT6kirlU

RT @chelsiamarcius: NEW: Only five people in New York State prisons have been released on medical parole since mid-March — and for some nearing the end of life, a last chance for freedom during the age of coronavirus feels far out of reach. #criminaljustice https://t.co/ydg3Ozv2Qy
I can't imagine that the @JoeBiden transition team for the Department of Justice could be more disappointing. Most are corporate lawyers. No progressive prosecutors. No public defenders. No professors who focus on reform & change. No impacted families or organizers. https://t.co/z5gPg5n2wU
RT @akela_lacy: Matt Axelrod, part of Biden-Harris DOJ transition team & former sr DOJ official, testified in 2012 before U.S. Sentencing Commission on importance of minimizing fed sentencing disparities but said certain mandatory minimums were "reasonable" & "an essential law enforcement tool"
RT @JohnFPfaff: Biden's DOJ transition team seems fairly disappointing. Didn't check bios of the private-firm lawyers, but the rest with crim justice focuses seem to be current/former prosecutors; didn't see any pub defs at all. And the one restorative justice grp is just for survivors only.
RT @EdenCheckol: BREAKING: Gov. Tony Evers issued a new executive order advising Wisconsinites to stay home because of rising coronavirus cases. State health officials reported 7,073 new COVID-19 cases and 66 additional deaths today. https://t.co/mU1hiSUyzR
RT @Analilia_Mejia: That’s it. There’s nothing left for me to do, but to pack my bags, stop the presses, pull the plug, exit stage left... I’m on a list with @BernieSanders @SenWarren @AyannaPressley and @AOC??? DM me your addresses, because this is gonna be my a Holiday card. https://t.co/0qyKiwrqjM

RT @TheNorthStar: They have promised to support the people of color who voted him into office. I want to believe they will follow through on this, but they will have to be held accountable. By @shaunking on @TheBreakdown https://t.co/4WgD9Kveqb

Without citing a shred of evidence, Georgia's two Republican Senators issue joint call for their REPUBLICAN Secretary of State to resign - suggesting that he mismanaged the election to benefit Black voters. It's both bizarre and disgusting. https://t.co/yndubi6anE
RT @themaxburns: What really scares me about this @GOP "election rigging" grift is that there's just no plan. They don't expect to win - they've already lost!! - so they just don't care what pillars of democracy they knock over while trying to cast doubt on the vote.
RT @stphnfwlr: Georgia's two Republican U.S. Senators are calling on the state's top election official — also a Republican — to resign Monday, after alleging "too many failures in Georgia elections this year" but without mentioning specifics to support their claims. https://t.co/9QGeHrus0I
RT @fairfightaction: Statement from @sethbringman, spokesman for Fair Fight: “With their bizarre press statement, @KLoeffler and @sendavidperdue have become full participants in Donald Trump’s crybaby campaign to undermine our democracy. Voters decided, and President-Elect Joe Biden won Georgia...
RT @stphnfwlr: This is absolutely bonkers. Georgia's two Republican U.S. Senators are calling on the Republican Secretary of State to resign because they believe - without evidence - that he "failed to deliver honest and transparent elections." #gapol https://t.co/IzMXsvZ3eC
RT @kevinroose: Many of the top-performing voter fraud claims have labels IDing Biden as the winner. But some (like the Newsmax video) don't. And it's not clear that labels are doing much. 6 of the top 10 most-engaged posts from US pages in the past 24h are from Trump, including 4 with labels.
RT @kevinroose: A Newsmax video full of debunked voter fraud conspiracy theories (dead people voting, poll watchers barred, software glitches) is the 3rd most-shared post of the past three days. 15 million views, 345,000 shares. https://t.co/BQw4WhYM6J

RT @fadiquran: One more thing to celebrate America. On Friday our team detected coordinated activity to spread voter fraud misinformation, at scale, by Steve Bannon's disinformation engine on @Facebook. We reported it, and now Bannon's engine of Disinformation is DOWN! https://t.co/9XVKEISMtm
RT @Greg_Palast: Are you a purged #Georgia voter that was forced to a provisional ballot because your name was not on the voter rolls? Or were you purged and turned away from the polls? If so, we urgently need to hear from you. Reply to this tweet and let's chat. #PassItOn.... https://t.co/d2CqN0niOf

RT @ryangrim: Biden opening bid is to move the Medicare age from 65 to 60. With Georgia Senate elections on the line, and it not being actual legislation anyway, Dems couldn’t go pie in the sky and propose...I dunno...50? (Sorry is that scaring people?) https://t.co/JzXIoPJJWo
