To the Christians prepared gather in church, comparing themselves to the early 'martyrs", you aren't being thrown to lions by being asked to stay home. You are very likely throwing others to the lions by spreading a virus. That doesn't make you Martyrs. That makes you Caesar.

@DrCSWilliam @MDaware 1/10 #Tennessee residents uninsured and 'for lack of an MDI' they're forced into high-risk, expensive ED visit during #CoronavirusPandemic. I'd rather go back to days when largest obstacle of getting Tenncare to care cover cost of Inhaler

Have you ever taken an online class? How about 6 at once? When you were a teenager? With spotty wi-fi? And Schoology crashing? And needing to share a device with siblings? While trapped at home?Filled with fear and anxiety?

Yeah, me neither.

Let’s cut these kids some slack.

@Sifill_LDF April 4th got lost in the chaos today. My aunt was an ER trauma nurse when Dr.King was brought in. She knew who he was when he came in, and they fiercely worked on him, to save him for all of us. They knew he was gone, but they tried anyway. It broke her in a lot of ways.

The most damning thing I have ever read about this country is #MLK & #CorettaScottKing’s reaction when they heard the news that President Kennedy had been killed. A 34 year old man dedicated to non-violence & justice and his young wife knew this about America and their own lives.
