So let me explain some pretty massive errors of omission: 🧵

I mean you’ve really gotta wonder why the Trump DOJ was collecting travel information about a reporter who helped blow the lid off the Epstein coverup in Florida.
Or maybe we don’t have to wonder at all.

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta.
Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

But when it does, we will be ready with policies not to restore the flawed system, but to make public health effective, compassionate, and accessible to all.

Until the Trump Regime gained power, few people in PH failed to look at these crimes and endeavor to improve the system.
But the answer is not the wholesale destruction of U.S. public health infrastructure, and the answer is not Denmark.
The answer is reimagining a better, more equitable system.
