This new commercial from Mothers Against Greg Abbott is one of the best political ads I’ve ever seen.

“Protecting” kids from masks, from LGBTQ people, from history, from getting health care but not from getting shot and killed at school.
Got it.

This is Mr. Melvin. He was my Uber driver today. He also has had a double lung transplant and is waiting on a kidney transplant.
I wanted you to meet him because he is impacted by the recent mask ruling, and who you’re talking about when you say people are on their own... 🧵

My name is Katie Dean. I am a proud Democrat and resident of North Carolina running to defeat Madison Cawthorn this November. We have a real opportunity to remove insurrection and QAnon from Congress this year, so please help by retweeting, following, and getting me to 20k.

Unfortunately the best way to protect the vulnerable would not have been to drop all our mitigation at once and basically tell them that they’re on their own.

.@ScottGottliebMD doesn’t think the BA2 Covid variant will lead to a big wave, but predicts there will be a pick up in infection if we don’t take steps to protect those vulnerable.

Can we stop with this "Why are people still wearing masks even after mandates have been dropped?” thing? Maybe they love the way an N95 gently cradles the contours of their face. Or maybe they're worried about still being in a GODDAMN PANDEMIC.

Get ready to be triggered because I’m offending everyone with this post.
I built a 🇺🇸 mask factory in six months capable of producing millions of N95s and Surgical masks every day.
Here’s why I don’t think America cares about COVID or masking anymore.

Hi there —
Do you guys have any operational facility of any kind near the Durham area, or are you only in Charlotte? (Asking for someone who could really use Evusheld and your system of allowing qualification via teleconference call w a doc).
Thank you so much!

Hi -I sent you a dm with details, but I’m desperately trying to navigate the road blocks to getting my 80-yo immunocompromised dad access to Evusheld in the Durham area, and can’t get past the hurdle of his OWN docs being unaware of its existence (cc ).
This situation really needs serious light shed on it, .
It erodes trust in the govt, in this administration, as well as leaving high-risk ppl in their isolation while most others are urgently returning to normal. 🤬

We have been working to get supplies of EVUSHELD for our patients and have yet to break through the bureaucracy. Still accessing through our local hospitals instead of providing in our offices. Things are still so broken. twitter.com/dianaberrent/s…

Also, bottomline: why can’t people mind their fucking business? If someone wants to wear a mask outside, inside, sitting at the edge of your mom’s bed, who gives a shit? Just keep it moving.

Hey there 😌 I know this would include a lot more than you could possibly have time to get into, but as far as SAFETY of mRNA vaccines goes, what bit of data/info would you show someone who is really scared of vax reactions but understands how effective they are?

Hi there -
Quick question re Remdesivir (just read an article from NPR you were quoted in😌): has it been effective in the high-risk pts you’ve seen? Is Duke still operating 7-days/wk to administer it? Thank you!

The most frustrating part of the ‘back to normal’ debate is no one is asking you to saw your own arm off or take a bullet or (per ) storm the Normandy beach. Just to wear a damn mask indoors for a *bit* longer.
How come Asian countries don’t see it as torture/tyranny?

A few months, ?
Please tell me that having an ‘abundance’ for at-risk people (still nowhere near that) won’t take a few more months. The LEAST we could do as a country is wait for THAT.
Quote Tweet
But there are still gaps. Kids 0-5 are still in limbo although that could be worked out this month.
We are a few months from having an abundance of anti-virals.
Those exceptions aren’t small. But as they close down, expect these policies to accelerate. 13/

If you're tired of people saying they're 'done with Covid', that they want to 'move on' from the pandemic, get 'back to normal'... even as 3,000 people die on a daily basis & while ignoring Long Covid, this angry monologue from me tonight... is for you:

Would love an update on the status of these treatments. Still extremely hard to get. Pls let us all know WHEN these things will be easier to come by for high risk. Evusheld, MCAb, oral av’s. The months…they do drag on for us.

"Another approach, which I am beginning to favor, is to state that every person 5+ can be vaxxed, and high-quality masks can protect individuals well. Therefore, masks can be optional, not required, even at high rates of community transmission" @DrLeanaWen
