I'm still just utterly flabbergasted that required masking was dropped mid-flight, with pilots gleefully announcing passengers could de-mask immediately, trapping people in a sudden high-risk COVID transmission situation for hours. Just a demoralizing, gross lack of humanity...
After 36 hrs in ER, mom was finally moved to a hospital room.
I brought in a HEPA air purifier since docs & nurses & staff & other patients aren't masking and there is no ventilation/filtration info available.
@ClevelandClinic
made me unplug & take home the HEPA.
WTF 🤬
Elizabeth Warren was an uncredentialed teacher for ONE YEAR.
Elizabeth Warren worked in corporate law for almost 40 YEARS.
I'm so tired of her co-opting the work & career struggles of public school teachers in order to craft a folksy, sympathetic image for political points...

@IvankaTrump
NEPOTISM. Ivanka is not qualified because it's nepotism.
Plus, AOC was elected to her position and graduated cum laude from Boston University's College of Arts and Sciences, majoring in international relations and economics.
AOC is MUCH more qualified that Ivanka...
When people say it's "safe" to reopen schools, what they're really saying is that they're comfortable w the level of risk those actually in the buildings will be exposed to. They've calculated an acceptable number of student & staff illnesses & deaths they're personally ok with.
If hospitals no longer test for COVID and masks are no longer required and ventilation/filtration is unknown and I have to be in a shared post-op recovery room w other patients as I come out of anesthesia after surgery...HOW THE FUCK DO I PROTECT MYSELF FROM GETTING COVID?!?
New: Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib will also endorse Sanders, according to source. AOC will, as

These words don't match your actions out here in CA though...

This false narrative needs to die already.🙄
The Dem est is doing everything they can to stop the Dem candidate w the strongest polling against Trump, most donors, biggest rallies, most volunteers, best ground game.
Where was the "unity" speech last week when Bernie was ahead?
This morning broke me.
My uncle, who I adore like a 2nd dad, caught COVID when he went to the hospital for a kidney stone; he died this morning after battling this damn virus for 3 weeks.
I'm devastated...and angry. So, so angry. He, like so many others, deserved better... 💔
The

This is gross negligence during an ongoing pandemic.

Not having healthcare frightens my son.

My Obama disillusionment is exactly why I don't trust Warren.
Obama campaigned on a bunch of bold, progressive rhetoric w no bold, progressive record to back it up. He had neoliberal associations that should have been a red flag.
Just like Warren.
I'm not doing that again...
This isn’t even about how Warren was a diehard republican for 50 years, this is about what she’s doing NOW to make backroom deals with superdelegates. Obama also said a bunch of radical things to win and did none of it, not sure why people have historical amnesia about that
UPDATE: The HEPA air purifier is back and plugged in!
After almost 24 hrs of varying, and sometimes contradictory, excuses they finally sent up maintenence to check the HEPA. Took him about 20 seconds to approve it.
It shouldn't be this hard,

@FredTJoseph
Regardless, she has used that "misunderstanding" to viciously smear Bernie as sexist...after also trying to say he was "trashing" her campaign based on a volunteer's tame script.
The entirety of Warren's actions over the last 24 hrs have been inexcusably devious & dishonest...
Liz Warren was a "public school teacher" for one year w no classroom training, no education degree, no certification.
She needs to stop co-opting "public school teacher" to create an image for political gain.
She's a corp lawyer. That was her training and career. Period.
Calling Warren--a public school teacher who grew up in the South--"elitist" is really offensive.
When it comes to attitude, let's just remember we've had a lot of men telling us what we can't do for an awfully long time. I'm ready for some people telling us what we CAN do.
On my way to happy hour w a teacher friend.
I'm on a mission to get her to vote
#Bernie2020

While she aligns w Bernie on policy, she was hardcore HRC, gets news almost solely from MSNBC, & buys into media narratives abt Bernie.
She's undecided tho.
Wish me luck...🍻🔥
@bern_identity
Wow. That's heartbreaking and infuriating.
Despite all she has done to smear him, Bernie still held out his hand to shake hers...and she didn't.
Warren is a horrible, horrible person...
I am on a plan with my 2 not-yet-eligible for vax kids & the pilot just announced that the mask mandate has just this minute ended. Ppl clapped & took off their masks. Here we are having boarded a plane with our kids. Very upset,
@Delta
, that this was announced mid flight.
@ClevelandClinic
While we can request any doc, nurse, or staff to mask...it shouldn't be on my mom to make that request to every unmasked person who walks in her room...especially w her cognitive difficulties. We also can't ask other patients or visitors to mask.

Today's nonsense has been nothing but a manufactured hyperbolic narrative now used by a faltering campaign as a desperate attempt to opportunistically revive 2016 tension & illicit sympathy votes.

Bernie has avoided attacking Warren despite her amplifying false narratives & dishonestly smearing him.
When he was behind in the polls, he stayed focused on

I love what

She should've had the spine to stand up & fight for it when

Where was she?
That lack of political courage in '16 makes me doubt her as a leader...
#WarrenTownHall
Here we are, trapped in the sky with our 8 month old unmasked baby (you can’t actually mask a baby that young) under the supposition that everyone who can be masked would be masked, and the flight 325 crew has taken our choices away from us. Very very angry about this.
Elizabeth Warren has accepted contributions from, at least, 35 billionaires in the last three years; Bernie Sanders hasn't accepted donations from any billionaires.

To recap: the feds created a scam school to entrap Indian immigrant-visa students, accredited it so it would look legit, took their money, then deported them for not knowing better, INCLUDING students who transferred out after realizing it was a scam.

I will say, nurses and staff have been super. Chatted with my mom's current nurse about our concerns. She put a "Please Wear Mask" sign on my mom's door. So far, all staff that has come in since has worn a mask...a blue baggy, but at least it's something.

Actually, Bernie Sanders is the candidate a lot of people thought Elizabwth Warren was.
In 2015, I was 100% behind Liz & crushed when she decided not to run.
Bernie's got the record, integrity, and political courage Liz is missing.
Where was she on all these issues before now?

may have great ventilation...but that information is inaccessible to patients & the public. And during a COVID surge with no patient testing and staffing shortages, extra layers of protection - like universal masking - should be in place.
My elderly widowed neighbor just sent me a selfie of her getting her 2nd round of chemo for pancreatic cancer. In the pic, she’s sporting her freshly buzzed hair and a 3M Aura 😷.
The fact that masks are not required in all health care settings right now is incomprehensible. 💔

Wow. On board JetBlue. Attendant just announced that the courts struck down CDC’s 2 week extension of the mask mandate today and JetBlue now dropped its mask requirement. The attendant added he is taking his off.
(Meanwhile: double digit increases in cases in the northeast.)
Warren's career is over.
She's being used by centrists to stop Bernie; they'll drop her as soon as they don't need her for that anymore.
She's completely burned bridges w the progressive base; they'll never trust her again.
And she could easily lose her senate seat in MA...
My wife texted me that the pilot of
