While thinking about the urgent needs of people at the forefront, our 44th Anniversary will be on June 22, 2020.
Yet, since overall needs are more significant, I am exploring the following. I want to commit to the most needed protection currently in healthcare, the Disposable Medical Masks.

New Crisis: CV19 Destroying Kidney’s in High Percentage of Patients and NO Dialysis Machines
Ventilators aren’t the only machines in intensive care units that are in short supply. Doctors have been confronting an unexpected rise in patients with failing kidneys.

NY Times: For weeks, U.S. government officials and hospital executives have warned of a looming shortage of ventilators as the coronavirus pandemic descended.
But now, doctors are sounding an alarm about an unexpected and perhaps overlooked crisis: a surge in COVID-19 patients with kidney failure that is leading to shortages of machines, supplies, and staff required for emergency dialysis.
The disease is also shutting down some patients’ kidneys, posing yet another series of life-and-death calculations for doctors who must ferry a limited supply of specialized dialysis machines from one patient in kidney failure to the next. All the while fearing they may not be able to hook up everyone in time to save them.
It is not yet known whether the kidneys are a major target of the virus, or whether they’re just one more organ falling victim as a patient’s ravaged body surrenders. Dialysis fills the vital roles the kidneys play, cleaning the blood of toxins, balancing essential components including electrolytes, keeping blood pressure in check and removing excess fluids. It can be a temporary measure while the kidneys recover, or it can be used long-term if they do not. Another unknown is whether the kidney damage caused by the virus is permanent. read more…

She and millions of Americans of color were brutalized in their attempts gain human rights after a century of fake freedom and abuse by those who now back Donald Trump. The current round of fake protests, coordinated by Trump liaison to the neo-Nazi/Supremacist community, Stephen Miller, backed by the DeVos, Prince, Koch, Coors fortunes is the antithesis of Americanism.
By abuse we mean this:
.
What we don’t mean is this: These are the faces behind the dogs and fire hoses, these are the hands of the whip and truncheon, and they aren’t protecting anyone’s rights, not fucking hardly. This is America:
Imagine this gang running from dogs? Imagine them running at all. Oh, the biggest risk for COVID mortality is smoking and obsesity. Might we title the photo below, something unpleasant? Let me know.
VT has some simple advice. If you can’t respect our laws, our culture, our history and the sacrifice of those who fought two wars to end slavery and oppression, then we offer you an option.
Get the fuck out.
We are sick of whining assholes trying to find honor in hatred, bigotry and cowardice. Not hardly fucking ‘American’ in any way, manner or form. People fought for this country and they didn’t do it to see this place turn into Nazi fucking Germany at the hands of the Kosher Nostra and fake militias paid by a group of billionaires.
What happens to our Lockdown guys in real life? Watch:
If you don’t think black folks have no patience for Nazi’s, there are more than a few white folks out there who are far more expressive than this. Who is it that we saw in Lansing?
Daily Beast: White House economic adviser Stephen Moore has equated pro-Trump protesters demonstrating against stay-at-home orders with civil rights icon Rosa Parks. “I think there’s a boiling point that has been reached and exceeded,” Moore, who sits on the White House council to reopen the country, told TheWashington Post this week. “I call these people the modern-day Rosa Parks — they are protesting against injustice and a loss of liberties.” Speaking on a YouTube livestream earlier in the week, Moore said he was helping to organize a legal defense fund for those who are arrested as part of the demonstrations, which in some cases have included Confederate flags. “So this is a great time, gentlemen and ladies, for civil disobedience,” Moore told viewers. “We need to be the Rosa Parks here, and protest against these government injustices.”
