I am embarrassed to say as a 9/11 first responder that I’ve never returned to ground zero. I doubt I ever will be able to bring myself back there. I was an AEMT in NY. I slept through the 1st phone call to come help at a “plane crash”. The first tower fell on Zack Zeng my trainee

we need to focus on the heroes who are going to die unless we help them.
@brianstelter
the media needs to cover these illnesses & Please all of us, donate to
It’s not a story that you’ll hear about in the news often enough. We lose heroes to 9/11 illnesses nearly weekly & we can’t let them die in silence without a voice & the care & benefits they deserve. Which is why rather than think about politics today or assign false praise,
I want to give a big shout out to our friends at
@MeidasTouch
who led a great effort to canvass and run a ground game in Georgia for the runoffs. It was a privilege to support their work.
#LincolnProject
The minutes I lost missing that call saved my life. When I arrived we worked through the day and night, side by side with strangers who we just somehow blindly trusted each other with our lives. We didn’t care where someone was from, their race, gender, or economic status,
who they loved, or their political affiliation. We ran to help because, that’s what Americans do, what NYers do, & more universally true, what good human beings do. There were times there that i thought I wouldn’t make it home. That I was a goner.
But then I’d feel the turnout coat and boot of another responder, then their arm & torso, and id feel someone grabbing my hips, lifting me up out of a hole. In a burning pit of hell during one of the worst chapters in our history, I wound up seeing the best in humanity.
That day showed me who we all really are, more good people than evil. More of us who want to help than those who want to hurt. Leaving those memories from ground zero behind wasn’t easy. PTS after posed as big a threat to me & many others as being in the pile.
sometimes flashbacks can slip my dreams into nightmares, and I have a weird rash. but I got off easy compared to the thousands of first responders who are suffering with cancers, falling between coverage gaps, and fighting to stay alive.

driver yelling racial attacks at her because she was black. She handled it with grace (While I the NYer still in me gave the 1 finger salute). 🇺🇸 owes Tanishia better. Make these racists famous!
Smart civic leaders and competent Police chiefs should be engaging w/ trained community volunteer medics, issue clear IDs & train officers that they are there to protect human life as the officers have also sworn to do.
Now, imagine the chiefs refusing to accept the score for months and then sending an angry mob to kill the refs and the commissioner. Remember that’s what Trump did & what the Senate will be trying him for.
Oh shucks Fox News sent us a very spooky letter on official letterhead and all because they want us to take this ad down and YIKES my hand slipped and I accidentally tweeted this out!! Don’t retweet!

Very simple. Stop letting the new news moment distract from the core issue. His tone isn’t material. We all know he is who he is. His intent is clear. No matter what tone polish they put on the turd in the moment doesn’t change what he’s going to do & the threat he poses.
To everyone who was silence by threats to their jobs, their safety, their family, and their freedom.
It is safe to speak now.

Mind blowing that broadcast network morning shows gave less coverage to
@realDonaldTrump
denigrating our WH & military w/ illegal use of tax payers $ for his convention than they gave Obama for wearing a tan suit.
When the votes cast on or before Nov 3rd are counted, I have no doubt that
@JoeBiden
&
@KamalaHarris
will surpass 270 EVs & end our national nightmare.
Prediction: By the time all the states complete their final counts, it will be a margin much larger than Trump’s 2016 win.

You literally voted against the Zadroga Act and basic health benefits for the “brave first responders”. Serving their memories involves more than wearing a lapel pin. How about saving those who ran into the rubble from dying broke and in silence.

This is a domestic terrorist group. Not a militia, not a political group. It’s a racist & antisemitic violent hate group. They are given safe harbor by far too many outlets and use tools to organize & market on platforms like
@Facebook
. The only “both sides” is right vs wrong.
When you say things like, “The media is the enemy of the people.” things like this happen.
A photographer was violently attacked yesterday in DC by Trump’s Proud Boys...
I’ve listened to countless speeches by President Elect
@JoeBiden
. This is the first time he didn’t end it w/ God protect our troops, but rather God protect our healthcare workers & first responders including our troops.
The secret about Trump’s cons is that they aren’t played out in secret. They are in clear view. They become normal.
What we need to do: Keep Calm
Not spread information without being certain & urge news editors to not fall for the stunts.

A few things 1- Trump fired the health coordinator & pulled the funding for surveillance. 2- it’s obvious how he and his administration are handling it 3- People overheard your conversation in Beverly Hills last week begging for $ to manufacture fake scandals about Joe Biden 💥
Woh. This thread. All because
