There comes a time when 👉🏼Silence is Betrayal We need more truthful in depth Investigative Journalism and must protect them & Whistleblowers

What’s happening with couriers in New Zealand? They are not answering the phone, not replying to emails and ordered goods are not showing up. This is not conducive to people who are at home feeling they can rely on delivery, if they order something @nzlabour @NZGreens

@ajthompson13 IMO (non-medical) masks and gloves need to be mandatory for all workers, regardless if there is a plexiglass shield. It should be highly recommended (mandatory if there is a subsequent spike) for the public to wear too. sciencenews.org/article/corona…

@We3forDemocracy Very much agree with your last para. That has been my contention. Much work can be done safely. Eg within a week of lock down all branches of construction had a protocol H&S C-19 work standard that wld have allowed it to work safely. BTW our ESSENTIAL meat industry did.

New Zealanders have done a great job staying home and self-isolating. Now it’s time to let more people get back to work that can meet SAFE working conditions and that should happen now.

@ajthompson13 I was impressed with the one NZ meat processing site NZ I saw in the media that separated workers with plexiglass stations in the production line. But its the socialising esp smokers (who have to remove a mask) during breaks and mealtime - that I suspect is where risk is great.

I miss when the left used to support things like free speech and civil liberties. Sad Caitlin has to point out why we need to protest Icke getting deplatformed. He's the easy target the rest of us aren't long after him. They get people warmed up to being policed so it gets normal

Unlike Italy, the United Kingdom had time to prepare for the coronavirus tsunami. But as the death toll climbs, critics say Britain's response has suffered from a series of deadly mistakes and miscalculations. smh.com.au/world/europe/b…

As more sources publicly corroborated Tara Reade’s sexual assault claim against Joe Biden, self-proclaimed feminist progressives are showing they never intended to #BelieveAllWomen—just some. #IWpol #MeToo #ProgressivePrivilege bit.ly/2KQbELN

In whose interest is it for Assange to be sentenced to up to 175 years in prison? In whose interest is it to leave him exposed to COVID-19 in Belmarsh prison? As a dual US-UK national, I would expect much better from both of my countries. It’s not too late to do the right thing.

Excellent job here by @jaketapper in seeking an explanation for why Democratic politicians decided to believe Christine Blasey Ford but not Tara Reade. He received nothing other than indignation in return because there’s no cogent answer to provide:

My friend Julian is in Belmarsh for nothing but publishing the truth. The state is at this moment trying to jail me for nothing but publishing the truth. Perhaps I might be allowed to be sceptical of your commitment, Dominic.

9/ Are there better & less potentially invasive ways of using smartphone technology for contact tracing? Indeed there are & other governments are following these. The open-source DP-3T system developed by scientists at European universities, for instance. techcrunch.com/2020/04/06/eu-…

The practice of fighting unauthorized wars will end in my administration. If Congress wants to go to war, they must expressly authorize it—with the approval of the people. I will not allow American troops to be in harm’s way without congressional accountability.
