Trump was just one of 43,000 other Americans who tested positive for COVID today. While nearly all of them paid more in taxes than he did, few will have his resources to fight the ravages of the disease and recover from its financial aftershocks.

If you’re still wearing a mask when you go out, please retweet this tweet. I just want to see how much common sense is still out there.

Nothing random about the murders in Kenosha. You don’t get a white 17 year old killing protestors w/ an AR-15 w/out the President first vilifying protestors, a gun lobby that has cowed Congress into allowing the sale of weapons of war, & a racism stoked by Trump & his enablers.

Spoke at the #DemConvention outside of an evacuation center due to the raging fires across CA.
We cannot afford to waste another moment. Another cycle. Another year denying climate change. Refusing science.
VOTE. And for @JoeBiden. Like your life depends on it. Because it does.

heart palpitations, muscle aches, a feeling like my body has forgotten to breathe. Over the past 124 days I've lost all feeling in my arms & hands, had extreme back/kidney/rib pain, phantom smells (like someone BBQing bad meat), tinnitus, difficulty understanding text/reading, 2/

I just crossed the 4 month mark of being sick w' #COVID19. I am young, & I was healthy. Dying is not the only thing to worry about. I still have a near-daily fever, loss of cognitive function, essential tremors, GI issues, severe headaches, heartrate of 150+, viral arthritis, 1/

23/ I don’t know about you, but in March I was scared; now I’m mostly depressed – depressed that we’ve collectively allowed this to happen, depressed that the light at the end of the tunnel may prove to be an oncoming train. But if any state can turn this around, I’d bet on CA.

22/ As I said last week, we enter this crisis in better shape than we were in March (Fig again below). We’re catching the surges early through testing (not ICU admits), we have some effective treatments, & we’ve built hospital, ICU, & PPE capacity. We should feel good about that.

15/ It’s worth comparing CA (on L) w/ TX (R). While CA got most of the nat'l press for being a star pupil, TX # 's were equally good. This, of course, is an inconvenient truth for those who prefer a simple narrative that attributes everything to clueless, right-wing politicians…
