Sarah Kendzior: People should be alarmed by Trump's executive order to regulate social media. I've been expecting an attack on free speech, an attack on social media, if Trump were to be "installed" for another 4 yrs, but maybe that's coming sooner.

Sarah Kendzior: Trump always covers up crimes & scandals. Of course he doesn't want people to focus on the massive death toll from COVID-19; his executive order to regulate social media is a good distraction.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: If people had acted earlier, if supplies had been delivered in time, we wouldn't have had as many deaths from COVID-19, and that's Trump's doing.

Rick: Had Trump literally done NOTHING, we'd have been better off, but one of the 1st things he did was undo the OSHA regulation regarding airborne contaminants.

Sarah Kendzior: There are tapes of Trump saying he wants economic collapse, massive protests, because he sees it as a cleansing. The GOP sees this pandemic as a way to wipe out problem populations like the elderly, people of color.

Sarah Kendzior: I was worried when a CDC worker disappeared & died under mysterious circumstances in 2016.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: One thing this pandemic has shown is that as unemployment is so high, the stock market is soaring. It shows how little leverage the working public has to get necessities. It's accelerating a trend that's been true well over 40 yrs.

Sarah Kendzior: This is the darkest time that I can remember in my lifetime, the economic crisis, employment crisis, climate crisis, healthcare crisis...

Sarah Kendzior: Cruelty, abuse of power, elite power impunity from the WH to the cops tie together violence against black people, such as killing of George Floyd.
@sarahkendzior
Sarah Kendzior: It's sad to me that we've made so little progress against violence against black people but that white supremacy, police brutality culture comes from the top.
@sarahkendzior
Sarah Kendzior: There's a hesitancy among white people to criticize the police but this case with George Floyd is so clear-cut.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: It's really easy to create different versions of reality, and that's an open goal stated by Karl Rove & Donald Trump.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: I've been frustrated by the lack of action on ballot security. We must have hand-marked paper ballots. At the very least we need receipts of voting. During a pandemic, it makes sense to switch to vote-by-mail now, & we need protection of Postal Srvc
@sarahkendzior
Sarah Kendzior: The Trump administration is attacking states that are moving to vote-by-mail. People need to speak out very strongly against these attacks; our democracy, the integrity of our elections, & the future of the entire world rely on this.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: This is why we need voter education, why we need plans well in advance, why we need people to help on voting day when issues arrive. The Trump admin will pull out every trick in the book.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: Social media is such a great tool for Trump; it's how he changes the narrative, for one thing. I hope the companies themselves stand up to him but they don't--they bow to him, they treat him like a cash cow.
