I wasn't familiar with Harry Leslie Smith until this week. He passed away Wednesday at 95. His son is tweeting from this account and i'm not sure why but it's mesmerizing to read
The night before Harry gave his famous NHS speech to Labour conference in 2014, he had to practice reading it from the autocue (teleprompter). It took him 3 tries to master it despite the fact he'd never used one before. He was 91

If you expected anything less you haven’t beem paying attention. Go read every

tweet and then be (appropriately) afraid. Be very afraid. Then take action
JUST IN: Sec. Pompeo responds to subpoena, saying requested deposition dates "are not feasible;" asserts Democrats' request “can be understood only as an attempt to intimidate, bully, and treat improperly" State Dept. officials.
Lol to anyone who thought “court orders” were consequences
Y’all gotta learn how the mob works then maybe you’ll get it

should stay in Cali. Considering that CA is the largest "donor state" of tax funds and Alabama is the 4th largest "recipient state," I'm sure Californians would have no problems with keeping their money in their state.

This is such a great line. “Trump is paying for his wall with your retirement and healthcare” would resonate with 100% of the population

Not exactly correct: coronavirus is made of a lipid layer That can be dissolved by soap and or hand sanitizer. If it is a good sanitizer it literally breaks up the virus (good is 2/3 99% alcohol 1/3 other; or 66%+ pure alcohol)
So, your hands could look dirty but be disinfected

I’m still waiting for someone to explain to me why we can’t just use the same tests every other country uses that are made at a rate of over 1, million per day in China and distributed by WHO
Remember when Bush was pres he tanked the economy so bad it looked like America was going out of business? And then Obama came in and he was like “let’s fix this shit“ made some bold unprecedented never been done before moves & econ grew for 11 years? Yah Biden will fix this too
@mitchellvii
Obama had a fully funded cdc & set up pandemic offices in 37 countries - trump closed them & defunded cdc & nih.
Trump claimed last week the 15cases would go down to 0 (we’re at 74 just 3 days later). US has tested fewer than 500 people and cdc test kits don’t work
Incompetent
Watch how real journalism is done while learning how America is a clown show to the world. This is a short interview but my God where have American journalists been?
We are such amateurs

If we did a national shut down this whole thing would be over within three weeks. The cost of staying open will be 10 times what it would cost us to shut down
100%. A family member just told me this morning “he had a knife in his car“
My response? “You are an avid fisherman. You drive around with a knife in your car too. If you get pulled over can a cop kill you?”
"He had a knife." "He used a counterfeit $20 bill." "He was selling loose cigarettes." "He was playing with a toy gun in the park." "He walked home." "She was driving down to her new job." "She was asleep in her own house." "He complied and reached for his license, registration."
@MayorOfLA
Remember when in the first days of the Black Lives Matter protests you suspended all coronavirus testing saying that the community didn’t deserve it because of the protests?
That in equitably damaged black and brown communities more than anyone else.

I’ll take the “$2000 payment so people don’t die of starvation, the vaccine can actually get federal support, and mitch mcconnell can suck it” for the win, Chamath

It 100% feels super hoaxy. Like, to skip the debates, then they miraculously get better and then can claim it’s no big deal or something crazy
Too bad the White House has lied to us about his health for four years so we can’t believe them now
$600 for Americans after 8 months of nothing is sadistic. Give everyone $10k who made $75k or less in 2019 $10k, everyone else $5k or more.
This is ridiculous.
NOONE and I mean NOONE I've seen on twitter is talking about what happens when hospitals collapse because healthcare workers are dead/sick or hospitals are full
HOSPITALS ARE NOT SCALABLE. HOSPITALS ARE BOTTLENECKS.

The entire national supply of chloroquine has been commandeered by the US government. Probably because similar ride ups came from China and South Korea weeks ago. The Facebook coronavirus group I run pushed all this info out early last week
@MayorOfLA
you closed the testing stations as a punishment to protesters citing their resistance to police. as a constituent and business owner in LA county I pay thousands in sales taxes and income taxes as well as LA taxes. I will work hard to be sure you are not reelected
If anyone is curious to know why California has such a bad outbreak, yesterday at a taco stand I politely asked a gentleman if he would mind putting on a mask (exact words) and he blew a gasket
People are a) brainwashed and b) just do not care: no consequence, no change
so let me get this straight. He not only probably killed her, then he took her debit cards and bought himself a bunch of stuff, including gas, all the way back to Florida?

One question I hear a lot is "why should we send a scientist to Congress since you don't know anything about making laws?" Our soundbite century shows its flaws here for 2 reasons. 1) scientists would kick ass at making laws, and 2) I'm much more than "just a scientist." 1/

Paul Allen's death actually scares me. One of the world's richest men, still young, couldn't get effective cancer treatment. Why do we fight wars when we could be funding massive research? Why fighting trade wars when we could be fighting cancer? It's so fucking stupid.

Exactly this. The skin in the game are the general public who put their jobs and reputations on the line promoting peace in Gaza and calling for a cease-fire. The easy thing to do is be an Israel propagandist in DC

Seattle school superintendent took the unprecedented step of canceling all classes as of today. She understands fat tailed risk and is the best decision I’ve seen of anyone yet. Working from home is a great first step but Every city needs the ability to test ASAP. Trump messed up
Bitcoin is an indicator of nothing. The world and the economy have nothing to do with bitcoin. Bitcoin is a pure speculative play and nothing more. Will not impact anything long-term except people who put everything into bitcoin based on the idea it will rise to infinity

Dammit, this is not a money issue. This is an internal sabotage issue. Even if provided funding it will not reinstall the scanning machines nor will it reinstall postal drop boxes.
This is internal sabotage

Dejoy raised priority mail prices up to 50% - a huge tax on small business
UPS & FedEx followed suit raising prices up to 20% on lowest cost service

Incorrect. It is 3.4% according To the most updated world health organization number as of this morning
Compare, if 1,000,000 people get sick this is how many die:
Flu: 1,000
Coronavirus: 34,000
@bessbell
Trump has lied to us more than 20,000 times. They lie every day. Even his dr lied about weight & “perfect health”.
But now everyone is just going to take this as truth?
Show me the absolute verifiable evidence. There is none.
Remain skeptical
