Rep. John Lewis reading his own FBI file in 2015

Here's Lewis reading his own FBI file in 2015

Reading the FBI file on SCLC & myself, I am more convinced than ever that we cannot allow government surveillance.

THIS statement from that file written by a then 25 year old John Lewis about being assaulted by police while marching in Selma demands your attn. Especially today.

Apparently, he took a couple seconds off from golfing to tweet these 2 pathetic sentences

?"I send our prayers to he"?

Saddened to hear the news of civil rights hero John Lewis passing. Melania and I send our prayers to he and his family.

mr pete says I need to calm down today

grrrrrrrrr

We're nowhere near getting on top of this virus

One key paragraph of the Harvard doc —

We need to deliver 5 million tests per day by early June to deliver a safe social reopening. This number will need to increase over time (ideally by late July) to 20 million a day to fully remobilize the economy. We acknowledge that even this number may not be high enough to protect public health.


DIVOC-91 visualization of testing says the US has done 42.5 million tests cumulatively over the 130 days since we had 100 cases, and had a daily high of 823,375.
