If you missed it, this 17 minute audio report from ⁦@rdevro⁩ for ⁦@intercepted⁩ interviewing ICE detainees facing the spread of coronavirus is worth your time. It’s appalling what’s happening in these facilities right now. https://t.co/BKQFDkVb73 — PolitiTweet.org

@yeathatsthetake @McZehut This is Twitter and I am speaking as a human and a resident of this country. I’m appalled at the stupidity of any groups gathering for any reason, especially without PPE, during a pandemic. I’m sorry but I don’t see these people listening to wacky leftist theories like “science.” — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@restrepo_pol @yeathatsthetake @McZehut You can do both: confront government malfeasance, abuse and lies and also express outrage at individual citizens acting en mass in a completely reckless manner during a pandemic. It’s not either or. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@yeathatsthetake @McZehut What do you call people who are not persuaded by reality to take the bare minimum measures to ensure they don’t spread or contract a lethal virus? — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@yeathatsthetake @McZehut Lets not pretend this is just some ordinary folks organizing protests about their personal livelihood, end of story. This is being funded and encouraged by some very wealthy and powerful interests. https://t.co/kzIsW8VJ9K — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@yeathatsthetake @McZehut You can demand and protest and fight against injustice without being reckless toward the health of others. If this was a protest against US wars right now and no one wore any protective gear, I would also say that is absolutely idiotic. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@McZehut I do that all the time. If you don’t see a major and dangerous problem with people gathering in public without protective gear during a pandemic and calling it “their right” then I don’t know what to say. I am against people recklessly endangering others. It’s shameful. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@McZehut There is absolutely cause for great concern about various government entities, including the WH, exploiting this crisis to implement wider abuse of civil liberties and other freedoms. But these specific protests are absolutely reckless and could get people killed. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@McZehut Yes, people who congregate in close quarters without any protective gear (except guns, which don’t prevent spread of COVID) during a pandemic for any reason are imbeciles. It has nothing to do with their freedoms. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

Does any other nation on earth have masses of absolute imbeciles who hold demonstrations against healthcare and against social distancing during a pandemic? Also, do any nations except the US and Brazil have heads of state who openly rail against collective action to fight COVID? — PolitiTweet.org
