I keep thinking about this, and I'm just so angry and tired. It's been a long week.
Some things for all of us to keep calling about:
1. Consistent application of the DPA (still)
2. The DLA should be put in charge of national organization, https://twitter.com/Celeste_pewter/status/1246170081563824128

3. Captain Crozier being fired,
4. Michael Atkinson (the intelligence community watch dog) being fired,
5. The national stockpile website being changed,
6. The mishandling of mask guidance (and Trump basically saying he wouldn't do it),
7. And no national stay-at-home order,

8. Kushner's bizarre comments about logistics
9. The US apparently brokering/commandeering face masks from the German and the French.
This was all in the last 48 hours, so please, please protest with your electeds and tell friends/family to STAY in.

10. And one thing we HAVE to keep doing:
Get states to figure out how we're holding our upcoming fall election. Are your Secretaries of State/related committees working on an urgent vote-by-mail model?
This has to be a priority, because we will start running out of time.

I'm not an alarmist, but genuinely: elections take a long time to plan, especially when you're shifting from a tried and true model, to something new for a lot of different states.
Please, please don't let the day-to-day news overshadow the need to figure this out ASAP.

And I say this as someone who was absolutely sounding the alarms on this as far back as early February.
Not enough people have been thinking about what happens in November, and it needs to be a part of multiple convos going forward.

P.S. I know there's a lot of focus on Trump being against mail-in voting today during his daily press conference.
Please remember: elections are put on by the states. Yes, GOP dominated states might very likely take their cues for him, but we have to keep pushing.

* Yes, we should be outraged he's basically admitting he doesn't support good turnout, (and be loud about it),
* Yes, we should push for a more uniform system post-Trump,
* But let's make sure states actually take up this immediate focus first, as we continue yelling.
