This pandemic is giving us a look into the past, when early European settlers wiped out entire communities with just the common cold.

[philipclayberg]

"Authoritarian governments" and shows video of Trump. Thank you for being so honest, Amy.

[gaylarice]

USA needs to held responsible for our human right crimes.

[shawn]

Talk to your local nurses, grocery workers and other essential workers about organizing. We need a real, large scale strike.

[haleybrown]

Could greed and avarice and a dysfunctional healthcare and political system account for having become the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic? US coronavirus infected 849, 092 – deaths 47, 681 vs next highest Spain: Infected 213, 024 deaths 22, 157. Moreover, many nations have moved to some sort of basic income during the pandemic vs US’s one time payment of $1, 200. Once again, rugged individualism for the 99% and socialism/communism for the1%.

That looks on Dr. Fauci's and Dr. Birx's faces at 4:00 speaks volumes! I wish they were allowed to do their jobs and tell the American the truth about how badly trump has screwed this up.

[Emanon...]

He hired the dog breeder because all the tiger breeders are under investigation or in jail

[DelfinoGarza]

Yes yes the spine of our economy are bars, tattoo parlors, and hair salons.

[thecaveofthedead]

As a South African, I love that Amy says "Apart-ATE" as opposed to "Apart-HITE." If you want to pronounce it properly, just remember it was all about hate.

[edwardb]

Why is it Israel's decision whether or not to annex the West Bank? Why don't the Palestinians have a say?

[nole]

There is nothing “honorable” about Betsy DeVoss as that ridiculous sign says in front of her.

[michelleclark]

No wages. No stimulus. Rent due for April and May. Avoiding landlord💥. Money Gone. Little food left. In NYC, Suffering In Place. Under DeBlasio and CUOMO IN, NYC. 😞😷😭.

[marypaquet]

Ok so now one of the people in charge of our protection against the corona virus is a dog breeder. I have all respect for the Cuban healthcare personnel. Stay safe and thank you very much for helping out. Please do what you can for central and south america. They need it so badly. 🎈

[SkyGypsy]

ANTONIO GUTERRES YES!! Good on you Sir for requesting a ceasefire of ALL warring nations. Can we have one good thing come out of this mess?

[analogstudio]

Thank you for all you do Amy Goodman and Crew

[leos]

Did anyone else think it a kind of twisted humor to see the word "honorable" before DeVos's name?

[janefreeman]

Read an article that Colorado caved to businesses 1918 and reopened too soon proving to be a grave decision with a death toll well above national average.

[JavierBonillaC]

The correct word is “saturated”, when 100% of beds are full, the system is saturated not “collapsed”. The word “collapsed” suddenly became fashionable and is wrongly used. I’m Mexican, but I know that.

[miguelhigareda]
