    Remember when Sinéad O'Connor ripped up a picture of the pope because she had been sexually abused by the Church, but spoke out before everyone knew it, and was banned by Loren Michaels because "she got political" or whatever the fuck? Let's see that asshole try that again.

    Who is she talking about when she means "sellout negroes?"

    The AG of Kentucky is the one who tried to blame the lack of charges on Breonna Taylor's murderers on the Grand Jury.

    Not a lot of people make that connection, I'm surprised she did.

    On that note, there's a book by a former slave who was a slave in West Africa and Colonial America, where he contrasts the two.

    Okay, it wasn't Omar Ibn Said

    Here it is, The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano

    I don't find the comparisons to North Korea or the Soviet Union to be especially clever or hilarious, considering it's just... how American politics have been, just continually increasing in intensity over the past decades.

    True to form they're claiming he's doing much better and could be discharged as early as tomorrow, meanwhile he's apparently on a steroid that's only indicated for patients on oyxgen or a vent.

    Yeah sounds like things are going great, guys.

    Yeah, they posted a picture of him signing what was later revealed to be a blank piece of paper, and a video where he spoke of doing very well and ready to get back to work, which was later revealed to be at least partially edited.

    It's interesting that they'd offer the info that he's being given dexamethasone. If I'm reading things right, the evidence supporting dex in covid is for patients who are somewhat sicker than just "mild"

    Someone with more direct clinical knowledge than me can correct me if I’m wrong about this, but my understanding is that dex is not a drug you’d want to just give someone who didn’t absolutely need it.

    This feels like they’re throwing the kitchen sink at him and that’s just not something you do unless you need to.

    My wife is an ICU doctor who has been treating covid patients continuously since March. She was positively giddy when she heard that he's on dexamethasone.

    As that tweet from Craig Spencer points out, at a minimum it means that he requires supplemental oxygen right now. And you do not give it to someone who has a mild case.
