Here’s the truth about America: Our country is racist. Our economy is rigged. Our health care system is broken. Our government is controlled by corporations & billionaires. And when you fight back and challenge the status quo you’re labeled “divisive.” KEEP FIGHTING ANYWAY.

The straight line distance between Washington, D.C. and Dover, Delaware is less than 85 miles. It takes a helicopter about 40-45 minutes to make the trip. I was 19 years-old, and it was my first time riding a helicopter. I barely remember any of it. I was distracted. (thread)

We estimate that over 250,000 of the reported cases between August 2 and September 2 are due to the Sturgis Rally. Roughly 19 percent of the national cases during this timeframe.

“I won the likes of which no one has ever seen.”

What is becoming clearer each hour is that record numbers of Americans — from all races, faiths, regions — chose change over more of the same. They have given us a mandate for action on COVID and the economy and climate change and systemic racism.

Across the country, election workers and officials risked their health so Americans could vote during a coronavirus spike. Tonight, many are in quarantine after being exposed to the virus.

Welcome back America! Congratulations to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for their election! While we are about to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the Paris Agreement, this victory symbolizes our need to act together more than ever, in view of climate emergency. 🇺🇸 #Election2020
