Sarah Kendzior: Trump is doing daily press conferences since he can't do rallies. He has a captive audience, & it's all about him.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: Trump is pitting states against each other while they search for personal protective gear.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: This is a dangerous, life-threatening way to treat a pandemic. There are a number of agendas going on, incl profit. They're stealing gear, selling it to highest bidder.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: They'd love a successionist movement, if the US states would break apart like what happened to the USSR.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: Everyone is suffering except for Trump & his cronies. It's a geriatric crime group. It's a combination of a game show & a dictatorship. No one is getting the equipment they need, incl the red states.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: In every state, ordinary people are getting screwed and poor people are getting screwed worse, with even less access to healthcare.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: If a vaccine or medically verified treatment actually appears, I can't imagine this admin making it avail to everyone. It will be avail to millionaires & billionaires but the price for the rest of us will be grossly overinflated.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: I think this pandemic will be used against us to prevent us from traveling. They've stopped issuing passports "to keep us from traveling" but passports verify ID & citizenship. There are already travel restrictions in place.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: The GOP has always wanted to depopulate the earth. A smaller population is easier to control & manipulate. They've been preparing for disasters for a long time, buying bunkers in New Zealand & Montana. That's why they accelerate climate change.
@sarahkendzior
Sarah Kendzior: Part of the reason for the self-imposed isolation was to prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed, esp. since the Trump admin refuses to provide equipment. It is helping a bit, but not in NY.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: It's not a victory--it's a tragedy because people are still dying. Trump doesn't believe people matter, they're just statistics.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: If the numbers go down, it's b/c people listened to medical & scientific experts & did what they could to slow the spread. They made immense sacrifices. The mental health issues are extreme--PTSD, anxiety/depression, nightmares.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: In Feb, when I saw how fast the virus was spreading in Iran & Italy, I started stocking up. I was able to because I had a little extra money but most people can't come up with $400 for an emergency. Now stimulus checks aren't out yet
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: It's so disgusting to watch the gov't put money in the hands of corporations and in the hands of people like Mnuchin.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: Trump covers up big crimes with small crimes. If he does profit from the sale of the malaria drugs, it's overshadowed by the money he's making off the gov't. For anyone else, the malaria drug heist would be enough, but for him it's a coverup crime
@sarahkendzior
Sarah Kendzior: We're going to continue to see insider trading. We'll see people get in on Trump's latest scams. They're telling us to sacrifice our grandmas for the stock market while they make money off a pandemic.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: I haven't seen anyone in office behaving like a normal human being. I think Republican voters are different b/c they've been affected by the pandemic--their loved ones are dying, their businesses are struggling.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: Opinion polls are rigged to make them look favorable to Trump, which then encourages others to say they like him, too. I know some people love Trump but I doubt it's anywhere near 40%.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: People are freaking out about this virus. Their jobs are gone, their schools are gone, their lives are gone. I doubt there's anyone who's thinking this is great.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: There's broader public awareness that people working in grocery stores, drug stores should be making at least $15/hr if not way more.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: Parents who are trying to homeschool their children have a great appreciation for teachers and for what they do day after day.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: This is a wake-up call for Americans. It's not a good kind of thing. People are having to go to food banks for the first time & they never thought they'd have to do that.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: I would encourage people who'd like to get my new book, Hiding in Plain Sight, to buy from independent booksellers who are struggling in this pandemic. Many now offer curbside pick-up.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: There are also e-versions of my book available.
Rick: And you read the audio version of your book?
Sarah: Yes, I did.
