Entering a winter in America
Approaching 300,000 deaths from COVID-19 in the United States of North America. I accuse the morally repugnant regime. Repugnant in their hypocritical use of the law. Repugnant in their vilification of the most vulnerable. Repugnant in their attacks on science. They will be expelled and their allies defunded. 1 United States Deaths to date 2020-02-29 51,951 United States Deaths to date 2020-04-24 100,420 United States Deaths to date 2020-05-27 150,767 United States Deaths to date 2020-07-29 200,974 United States Deaths to date 2020-09-22 250,621 United States Deaths to date 2020-11-18 292,141 United States Deaths to date 2020-12-10 5,756 Brooklyn Deaths to date 2020-12-11 187 Deaths in zip code Brooklyn 11234 Bergen Beach/Flatlands/Marine Park/Mill Basin  |

They’ve been feeding their base all kinds of crazy for years" "Donald Trump, as he’s prone to do, he didn’t build the building himself, but he just slapped his name on it and took credit for it." |
