   This is really disingenuous writing – not one shred of proof she ever paid attention to the radical black efforts on the campus – not. one. She never lifted a finger – some of my friends were in those protests. " I have to think…" really? pic.twitter.com/CFJioYWIl5

   Watching AM JOY. One of the doctors that regularly comes on MSNBC. Capehart asked him if schools should open. He’s like ONLY VERMONT Parents can actually have a debate about it. Parents in the other 49 states – THE ANSWER IS ABSOLUTELY NOT. 

   We continue to not find out anything but BAD NEWS ABOUT THIS DISEASED

   Then, the doctor said something that absolutely terrified me:

   Research on whether or not children are vulnerable to the virus. 

   THEY ARE

   And…………..

   CHILDREN HAVE THE GENETIC MATERIAL THAT ENCODES THE VIRUS AT HIGHER LEVELS THAN ADULTS!

   Which makes them….POSSIBLE SUPERSPREADERS!

   THE EVERLOVING PHUCK!!

   I watched the documentary ‘ Good Trouble’ about John Lewis. Had to cry some watching it. Should be part of the U.S. History Curriculum nationwide. Saw it on Amazon. Mad that I could only rent it and not buy it.

    The president's declining mental state continues. Two weeks ago he said he'd be releasing a health care plan today.

    There's no scheduled press conference, no release.

    If Trump can't even keep track of his Administration's plans, how can we trust him with anything else? pic.twitter.com/JNtY2IVP1q

    I hope that after we build the bridge to a new generation of leaders, it crumbles before people who say shit like this this can cross.

    Louis DeJoy gave $2,000,000 to the Republican Party under Trump who rewarded him by making him the head of the Postal Service DESPITE NO EXPERIENCE AT THE POST OFFICE.
