@malbisse Do you know WHY you actually know men are being hit harder with COVID-19? Because data on age & gender is already being collected & reported publicly. It matters & informs how healthcare professionals educate, contain & respond to the virus. — PolitiTweet.org

We are already collecting age & gender. Data informs our public health response & containment strategies, it helps us to identify trends, clusters, it holds us accountable to equitable access to testing & treatment. IT WILL SAVE LIVES. It is a matter of the PUBLIC HEALTH. — PolitiTweet.org

Ayanna Pressley @AyannaPressley

It has been a slow killer of people & communities & now it is proving a more blunt tool of death in the midst of a pandemic. This is why we need race/ethicity data collected, disaggregated & publicly reported. — PolitiTweet.org

Ayanna Pressley @AyannaPressley

RIP my mentions w/all of the victim blaming re: disproportionate COVID-19 deaths in the Black community. No one is playing victim (we are resilient) or the "race card". Your willful ignorance is exhausting. Systemic oppression thru structural racism is real. — PolitiTweet.org

Ayanna Pressley @AyannaPressley

Do you know that grocery stores use #census tracts to determine where they should open? Black, Latinx, AAPI, Native & Indigenous communities rank as the most undercounted & in turn are under resourced by the federal govt=cycle of intergenerational poverty & poor health outcomes. — PolitiTweet.org

Ayanna Pressley @AyannaPressley

Do you know why African-Americans align with so many COVID-19 co-morbidities? Structural racism. Food deserts=unequal access to healthy & fresh foods= diabetes, heart disease. Enviro injustices mean dirty air, water. Greed & neglect, subpar housing=asthma — PolitiTweet.org

@BernieSanders you have been and will always be a tireless champion for working families You have fought everyday for progressive values and you have brought so many people into this movement who had felt unheard and unseen #ThankYouBernie Together, the work continues — PolitiTweet.org

Chag Sameach to all the families across the MA7th celebrating! As I’ve watched folks drop off food for their Seder w older relatives and ready to gather via video calls it’s reminded me that while our holy days look very different right now these celebrations keep us connected — PolitiTweet.org

@slooterman Your post makes all of the online trolling, worth it. Thank you for your kind words, but most of all for sharing your story. The shame & isolation from traumatic hair loss is no joke. You are helping so many people right now by building community. So many people feel seen! — PolitiTweet.org

@BriCrocker @MassGovernor Since my 1st lttr to HHS demanding this data on 3/27, I've been as specific as I have been strident. Interviews extract pieces, but you're welcome to see the lttr sent to HHS in March &, to Dem. Leadership yesterday. Also wrkg on leg. Ru in MA? Doing a tele town hall tonite. — PolitiTweet.org
