Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    Say, has anyone talked about how more Americans died from the incompetent response to Hurricane Maria than from 9/11 this week?

        No, but my hobby is measuring Republican health care proposals in "9/11s per year." Mortality impact of losing coverage has been studied.

        With ICE separating children from parents at the border, the sabotaging of healthcare, the environment, education, the NRA, and whatever else, it's really hard. @SenBillNelson has made the best effort that I've seen to keep a spotlight on Puerto Rico.

        Nope. Because brown people. But then you say, “well what about all the immigration coverage? That is all about brown people.” No. It is about children more than it is about race/ethnicity. No disrespect to those covering this.

        They’re making us less effective bc we’re fighting so many fronts at once, each with life & death consequences for those affected.

        Trump barely mentioned Maria at all in his FEMA visit. He's never given it a second thought

        Yep. But it bears repeating. Since more people died in Puerto Rico because of Trump, than on 9/11, does that mean we can treat him like Osama bin Laden?

        Calling the response to Hurricane Maria incompetent is overly generous. Even calling it a response is overly generous. An indifferent shrug would be a better description. #PuertoRico

        That’s like 5 crises and 8 media cycles ago. Ancient history for the pundit and political class. So little bandwidth. Sure we can “walk and chew gum,” but like, we are also juggling nukes on a disappear icecap while separating brown children and bombing Yemenis.

        People have talked about it. The problem is that no one is listening. Even on the progressive side, Puerto Rico is just one more turd in the shitshow. This era in history is going to take decades to come to terms with, if we ever do.

        Drone bombing kids in the Middle East, spying on Americans, arresting journalists, prosecuting whistle blowers, helping to turn a sovereign country into a slave market.
