@antoniogm Oh, it’s great for collective action. That’s what’s happening up there.
But for years it shunted people into bespoke realities, and facilitated connections between a variety of truther groups, and the extremely predictable result is above.
Aug. 3 deadline coming up to join @AledadeACO!

I agree with de Blasio on something

People whose livelihoods and businesses depend on the end of the pandemic are no longer willing to indulge conspiratorial nonsense.
COVID appears to have firmly solidified the private sector as the nexus of decision-making and consensus formation in American society.
The government is, and remains, a footnote. https://twitter.com/carlquintanilla/status/1420704798345682944

@BrandonHarami So good to see this focus on a civil process. Definitely try to instill this culture in the club you’re part of - the harassment and crazy accusations of “astroturf” for any parent leader who wants a better school board is really beyond the pale. 🙂 Time to do better.

It's formulaic at this point. It is the exact same rhetorical strategy every single time... Just Asking Questions. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/04/influencers-who-keep-stoking-fears-about-vaccines/618687/
Tucker Carlson, asking questions he could easily get answers to if he just used Google: "If the vaccine works as well as they claim it does, why are so many vaccinated people getting covid?"
He then says Dr. Fauci is the "guy who created covid."
Increasing investments and eliminating barriers is exactly what we're focused on in California.
Glad to see these actions happening at the federal level -- your zip code or economic situation shouldn't determine the care you receive or the resources available to you.
It’s happening!! Today the House passed a spending bill that would permanently repeal the #GlobalGagRule, remove Helms Amendment restrictions, and make critical investments in reproductive health across the globe! https://twitter.com/bettymccollum04/status/1420545110035546116
a very good thread on a very high-steaks issue
ok it's time to talk about societal distrust in experts and institutions, the rise of misinformation, cultural polarization, and how to work toward some semblance of mutually agreed upon information before we splinter into irreconcilable realities

@anthonyyork49 😢 my least favorite of all the seasons.
This is going to start happening with COVID. Any mom who just spend the last year *homeschooling while working full time* has a right to be angry ab the dynamics taking shape right now, and can channel that anger productively by supporting businesses etc that are taking stands.
We didn't have to just stand idly by with a 'hmm nothing we can do, I guess, their freedom to not vaccinate is just their freedom!' 🤷♀️ We could, in fact, counter-speak and make clear that we were fed up, that the situation was dangerous, and that WE (and our kids) had rights too.
It became very clear, very quickly, that parents had to start speaking up. Very visibly. Very publicly. And we had to start making it clear that the choice not to vaccinate your kid for measles impacted other families. Choices have consequences.
It was really transformative for me personally. My son was too young to have his MMR when the outbreak began. School vaccination rates in some preschools & kindergartens were at ~36%. And there was an asymmetry of passion: the ppl tweeting ab vaccines were almost all antivaxxers.
I hope this is true. In 2015 as a measles outbreak spread through California some fellow moms and I set up a volunteer parent organization called Vaccinate California, so that we could provide vocal and visible support for a legislative effort to strengthen school vax reqts...
There's a "new political block" forming in the USA, a new force that politicians will have to reckon with: "The vaccinated," @ChrisCuomo says on his radio show. "The vaccinated are going to be a bold block in this next set of midterms"
Highly recommend @mgurri’s “The Revolt of the Public” on this topic.
This is why the vax conversations are so messy. It’s why elections will increasingly be disputed. BS artists who happen to enjoy the trust of some sufficiently large segment of the public shape public opinion.
Yes, exactly. This is why the misinformation conversation so often misses the point. My pinned tweet is an essay about this…
The collapse of trust in authority is maybe the single biggest civilizational problem we face and absolutely no one has any idea what to do about it
@seanilling @mgurri wrote a book on it.

@akikigate My K report card:

#SimoneBiles is already the #GOAT. But today she became the #inspiration for every person needing the strength to choose themselves over expectation, mental health over judgement and we are so #grateful and inspired. Greatest of #greatness.
It's a trend!
In all seriousness: this frustration pales in comparison to the outrage that'll come if kids aren't back in school next year. Parents have a right to be fed up -and need to speak up!- when other ppl's bad choices hurt & deprioritize kids.
Frustrated by the prospect of a new surge, many Americans are blaming the unvaccinated. But experts warn that punitive measures and social ostracism can backfire, shutting down dialogue and outreach efforts. https://nyti.ms/3j99ec3

The private sector dynamics here are fascinating to watch. Acting as a consortium is powerful because no single business is alone in its decision, which can help collectively withstand the harassment that anti-vaccine activists may perpetuate.
#BREAKING: Group representing 500 bars in #SanFrancisco will require proof of vaccination or negative test to enter inside establishments given the rise in COVID cases. @kron4news
Yet another example of rumors that took shape and spread in online niche communities showing up in real-world moments. They shout down both the doctor and the governor.
Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R-AR) and state vaccine official Dr. Jennifer Dillaha berated by crowd with boos, groans and shouts for saying there is no medical evidence at this time that the COVID vaccines impact fertility.
We commend Gov @GavinNewsom for today’s announcement
@PPActionCA continues to work closely with providers & government officials across the state to ensure access remains equitable & the communities hardest hit by the pandemic have access to correct information about the vaccine
NEW: CA will have the strongest state vaccine verification system in the US and will require state employees & healthcare workers to provide proof of vaccination—or get tested regularly.
We’re experiencing a pandemic of the unvaccinated. Everyone that can get vaccinated—should.
We’ve come too far to ease up now in our fight against COVID-19. It makes sense for the health care community to lead the way in requiring vaccines for our employees. https://www.cmadocs.org/newsroom/news/view/ArticleId/49420/CMA-president-statement-supporting-mandatory-COVID-vaccines-for-health-care-workers
75% of eligible Californians have received at least 1 dose but it’s not enough.
Starting in Aug., state employees & health care workers must show proof of vaccination or get tested regularly.
The pandemic of the unvaccinated is here & vaccines are the solution.
Get vaccinated.
When someone comes into a health care setting, they deserve to know the medical personnel who care for them are doing everything in their power to keep them safe. #CMADocs stands in support - #GetTheVax
