2. report injury or illness from hazards
3. refuse unsafe work
4. be free from reprisal for refusing unsafe work

...Govts are trying to spread a hazard so widely that workers cannot say that there is more hazard at work than elsewhere.
But if you slipped & fell at work, your slipping at the ice rink does not remove your employer's responsibility to remove a work hazard #SARSCoV2

...and if it is so easy for them to trample on a worker's right to *know* that a hazard is present,then watch out! They will make other looming hazards *endemic* too:

Part 3, what wartime and martial law in CONUS is like for civilians.
In short, you thought COVID was bad and the Patriot Act draconian? We're going full bootstomp.

On the practical side, airports will probably be closed 9/11 style for at least the first day out west. Then flights and travel will be restricted, certainly internationally. Cancel your Hawaiian vacation.
Second, martial law in the US means the military can engage in police duties & subject civilians to court martials. This can only happen in places where the courts are non-functional b/c of war or insurrection. The Guard will be federalized so they won't have state police powers.

The main objective of the Covid-19 Awareness Week is to educate people about the lasting health impacts of a Covid-19 infection, that can even result from what feels like a “mild” one.

OK, the results are in & most of you believe that in the face of likely danger the Precautionary Principle says we should #DoSomething.
SARS2 is an example.

@juliasm18659356 @JohnWest_JAWS @PennyMordaunt @RishiSunak Welcome to U.K. : we’re holding a #ToryPoundshopDictator #LosershipFarce after U.K. Public were denied a #Voice #Choice #Vote by #ToryCorruption
@juliasm18659356 @JohnWest_JAWS @PennyMordaunt @RishiSunak This follows on from Brexit Coup in 2016, which our #UkSecServices #Police #ElectoralCommission #DCMS #Parliament #Cps #Politicians all ignored because they were too cowardly to stand up to Tories. Some LabourPolitians were complicit: Hoey /Lexit ; for example.
@juliasm18659356 @JohnWest_JAWS @PennyMordaunt @RishiSunak So even though people like @carolecadwalla @IanCLucas @BylineTimes @ByDonkeys @Heidi_Cuda @RealBristolNews kept on providing the receipts- they were hounded / ignored. In USA Trump launched Jan6th and all the same names came up in Court again and again. In U.K. it’s ignored.
🧵1/ This #IndependenceDay, let’s talk about how to keep our democracy. This is not hyperbolic—right *NOW* the GOP is enacting an *ongoing* coup 50+ years in the making. #53PickUp #VoteBlue
2/ Odds are you don’t have a strong understanding of US civics because our government didn’t *WANT* you to understand it. The GOP’s most reliable voting block are uneducated whites. They want it easier to dupe voters with diversions & propaganda. 🧵:
3/ It’s also easier to fool people into thinking the Democrats are purposely or incompetently messing things up if your audience doesn’t know how civics works. The GOP & enemy countries have massive & effective propaganda networks to turn public opinion.

‼️OMG 14 elementary school students—children— and 1 teacher are dead after a mass shooting by an 19yo gunman in Texas.
Damn you @GovAbbott and every Republican who with the gun lobby have perverted our laws & society into this daily hellscape of massacres, trauma and grief.
Damn you @GovAbbott and every Republican who with the gun lobby have perverted our laws & society into this daily hellscape of massacres, trauma and grief.
@GovAbbott The 18yo (or 19yo) gunman is dead. He drove to Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, and killed 14 children & 1 teacher with 2 guns. Kids were 2nd, 3rd, 4th graders.
It's an 80% Hispanic school district, with large immigrant community. So could be a Buffalo style hate crime.

@GovAbbott Senator @ChrisMurphyCT: WHAT ARE WE DOING?? Why are you here? I'm begging my Republican colleagues, DO SOMETHING. It will not solve everything. But by doing something, we at least stop sending the quiet message of endorsement of gun massacres.

By the way, everything I said about Senator Warren in that thread could be applied to Bernie, to AOC, to Bush, to any leftist member of Congress you want. Any shmuck can identify problems and state their plan. These people have the agency to #DoSomething, and they don’t.
These are members of the United States Congress, not some neckbeard in a South Philly coffee shop ranting about politics. They have the ability to put their causes on the floor of Congress for action. Instead they blame Democrats who do stuff for not going far enough.
I’m just going to be impolite about this, it is very frustrating to watch these edgelords of my generation and younger lionize these people who do nothing on their jobs, but yet they call Kamala Harris a cop. Us youngish folks don’t get politics at all.
In 2018 Sen Menendez introduced an election security bill that included conducting post-election risk limiting audits & cyber security standards

In 2017 Sen Gillibrand first introduced the Voter Empowerment Act. It included online voter registration & it required states to audit federal election results.
Mitch McConnell killed it & refused to bring it to a vote😡

Okay #fundraisingtwitter, now is the time to step up. Do you care about the principles of #IDEA? Please reach out to the AFP South Sound chapter and let them know it is NOT acceptable to host this event. community.afpnet.org/afpwasouthsoun…
@thattomahern is spending time diminishing the voices, qualifications, and validity of BIPOC fundraisers and this is unacceptable. I would implore you to reach out.
And @AFPIHQ @AFPMikeGeiger and other sector leaders should be calling this out. This is an active attack on fundraisers of colour. This is part of the systemic racism that festers in our industry. We MUST call it when we see it.

After the Dayton shooting, Ohioans begged its state leaders to #DoSomething.
Instead, Gov. DeWine and the Ohio legislature have enacted this dangerous "stand your ground" bill that makes Ohioans LESS safe.
This is nothing short of a dereliction of duty.

'Stand your ground’ laws are NOT about self-defense and they DON’T deter criminals.
They let private citizens take the law into their own hands and increase the risk of violence toward innocent people, particularly individuals of color.

That's why everyone from civil rights activists to prosecutors to the Fraternal Order of Police opposed this legislation.
We should be working to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous individuals - NOT placing communities and law enforcement officers at greater risk.

We can all #DoSomething to create an Australia where women and their children live free from violence, but no one individual, community, organisation or government can do it alone.
It takes a shared, consistent approach to addressing gender inequality.

As we go through the final 30-some days, the window to try to stop Trump from stealing the election is closing. And @SpeakerPelosi intends to stand firm to make sure no action is attempted. Her anti-#DoSomething mean girls are bullying harder than ever about it.
I had to unfollow two people the other day, because they thought it was great that someone posted a tweet saying #DoSomething Democrats, people in opposition to the CA-12 candidate, should be hit in the head. They didn't even get that it was *real* voter intimidation.
They don't think of Nancy Herself as an actual *candidate* who has to *be voted in* and *might lose*. She held that seat for 33 years, by making sure no other democrat was ever another option. Until now. And her fans don't know how to handle it, that she's normal, not a god.
He upstaged his own boogaloo bois by blurting out that of course he has no intention of a peaceful transition of power, after the story leaked that he was planning to ask governors to overturn their states' elections and just seat red electors. #TrumpCoupPlot
I used to think we were lucky that Trump pathologically brags about his crimes, because what if we got a competent tyrant who hid them. But he might as well be the most competent criminal ever, since no one does anything. #DoSomething about #TrumpCoupPlot.
"Something far out of the norm is likely to happen. Probably more than one thing. Expecting otherwise will dull our reflexes." I shout this on here every day, but here is an important checkmark man also saying it. Wake TF up, #PollyannaDems. #DoSomething
And this isn't even *all* the scenarios, this is only the ones where they exploit ambiguities in election law to, say, send competing slates of electors, or run out the clock to throw it to the House, where 26 red states outnumber blues. There are worse things that can happen.
Pundits and #PollyannaDems treat it like a joke that Trump accuses our party of treason. Maybe it is a joke if you live in a castle with your own security guards and would never be caught dead at a protest for this democracy. But for regular Dems it's a serious threat.

Think of clothing brands. If the US Govt used #DPA to ensure that every clothing manufacturer making clothes in the US turn their factories around to make Masks & Gowns then we'd see a surge of product available for the States while supplying much needed jobs. But they haven't.
If instead of ASKING Corporate giants to 'promise' to make ventilators in exchange for PR...what if he just TOLD them to just get it done. The US Govt could've said 'You've got 1 month, start producing'. #DPAnow should be happening but Trump doesn't wanna risk pissing off donors.
