- I am watching a toddler die on a table in a field hospital in Rafah with half her face blown apart while listening to college students fight tears reporting on a police assault on their campus for protesting that, and I feel like I am losing my fucking mind.
- You signed campus carry for colleges, permitless concealed carry statewide, and allowed so many hospitals to close that the nearest and only area Level 1 trauma center for victims is 45 miles and an 1.5 hours away. You should be ashamed.
- Tonight at midnight, Atlanta Medical Center will close its doors for good. For over 100 years, it has served GA residents - critically, as a stroke unit and Level 1 Trauma Center. There will now be only ONE Level 1 trauma hospital in ATL and North GA. Brian Kemp has failed us.
- "looting" is a crazy way to spell "people desperately trying to find basic needs to survive in the wake of a cataclysmic natural disaster"
- Unsurprisingly to anyone who has ever opened a history book, the violent arrests of students this morning have backfired deeply, with easily 500 students on the quad now.
00:00 - Replying to @marisapkThe most incomprehensible time overlap is watching both of these play out on the same social media feeds, where my entire feed is alternating between horrific injuries from Israeli bombs and one post below it watching the NYPD use armored vehicles to storm a college green.
- It is so fucking dystopian that the answer I keep seeing to "why shouldn't we ban cell phones in schools" is "so kids can text their parents that they love them if there's a school shooter"
- Replying to @marisapkWhat does this mean? - worse outcomes for patients - longer wait times and travel times for care - stress on GAβs already overburdened remaining hospitals Kempβs refusal to expand Medicaid and address GAβs hospital crisis is deadly. In ONE WEEK, we can vote him out.
- As a Jew, I am scared. I am not scared of my neighbors who are Palestinian or Muslim. Iβm scared my faith & the horrific killing of innocents are being used to justify a genocide in Gaza. Iβm scared, truly, of the people cheering it on, who so easily forget our shared humanity.
- Really enjoying that there is no immediate available answer to "is the smoke in my neighborhood potentially death smoke", props to Kemp for deregulating safety standards enough that we get Chlorine air sometimes nowOver 90,000 Georgia residents sheltering a day after chemical plant fire sends chlorine into the air apnews.com/article/biolabβ¦
- real "are we the baddies" moment to call for the eradication of the human rights center and the divinity schoolThis is an absolutely insane thing to post.
- Iβm back at Emory - a Palestinian-owned coffee shop, Majlis Mocha, is set up on the quad providing (amazing) coffee, tea, and lemonade to the encampment tonight. Someone else has brought a massive amount of Mediterranean Grill takeout for everyone.
