Is the coronavirus airborne? YES, according to 239 experts from 32 countries. But if so, why does @WHO still maintain that transmission by aerosols only happens after certain medical procedures? 1/xhttps://t.co/AJep0wqEzh

What does it mean for a virus to be airborne? What's the difference between aerosols and droplets? And how should you protect yourself now?

All weekend long I got questions about this, and so here are some answers:https://t.co/PByaTtU8D8

69 percent of Republicans described the U.S. economy as “excellent” or “good”

What planet are they on? Sad!

Not everyone thinks the economy is doing so poorly. https://t.co/SEmkbOnMjE

Trump’s racist lie about Bubba Wallace

Trump is supporting the Confederate flag, too. He’s a racist. No question about it. Sad!

1. Bubba Wallace, NASCAR’s only black driver, wasn’t the one who found and reported the pull rope that was tied like a noose.

2. The capitalized “Flag” he’s referring to here is the Confederate flag. https://t.co/CU263H7Z6g

Trump on Saturday: “We will not allow anyone to divide our citizens by race or background. We will not allow them to foment hate, discord and distrust. We will hold fast and true to the sacred loyalties that link us all as neighbors, as Americans and as patriots.” https://t.co/tNsCpWA0IA

How much of Trump's open embrace of the Confederacy right now is about ensuring the country remains ungovernable after he loses badly?

The president's attack on Bubba Wallace and his defense of the confederate flag were an overt display aimed at his white base of supporters, after a weekend during which he stuck to the script at his official events and broadly described "history" https://t.co/XyUjjF3LOo

He called for the execution of teen boys falsely accused of raping a woman in Central Park. He put immigrants in cages. He sexually harassed and assaulted women. His racist rhetoric killed people in El Paso and Charlottesville.

He doesn’t get to demand apologies. https://t.co/dLIhnI7JbX

Trump reminds the world daily that he is a racist running on racist positions employing racist rhetoric counting on the support of racists. Nothing is more core to who he is or to his campaign. If you support Trump, you support racism and if you support racism, you're a racist. https://t.co/A4rcS2uE23

President Trump on Monday continued to inflame racial tensions by panning NASCAR’s decision to ban the Confederate flag from its races and demanding the sport’s top Black driver apologize after a noose was found in his garage https://t.co/d7A1vy2NaE

Seriously if Trump had given up on re-election and was mainly interested in cultivating a small but fanatical group of marks to make money off of in the future…how would he be acting differently? https://t.co/bhuJvSf3yN

Analysis: It’s not that Trump doesn’t want to tackle racism. It’s just that he’s focused on perceived racism against whites. https://t.co/XUqlkdeB4q

More right wing nonsense about Antifa

A seminarian and associate pastor wearing a Black Lives Matter t-shirt was mistaken for an antifa flag-burner at Gettysburg National Park. Armed militia surrounded him. Federal agents escorted him out for his own safety as onlookers changed "USA!" "USA!" https://t.co/brt5XNgysA

The right wing extremists have guns again. How will they react in Trump loses the election.

A friend who works for a police department in Ohio said they received numerous calls today to investigate "Antifa dust" on the cars and driveways.

It's pollen.

And now I can't stop laughing about people calling the police on trees.

Fact Checker: Who caused the violence at protests? It wasn’t antifa. https://t.co/owGf0qcaRy
— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) June 22, 2020

This is important.

The Trump Admin’s own analysis suggests violent extremists (like the Boogaloo Bois) – not Antifa – pose the greatest risk of violence

The Trump Campaign is increasingly using Nazi-esque rhetoric to instead blame “Antifa”

SCOOP:

An internal Department of Homeland Security assessment of threats to law enforcement makes no mention of "Antifa."

It says "overall protest-related violence" has been "decreasing significantly."

Yet Trump's Antifa nonsense continues.
