Mara Gay [on NY Times editorial board and MSNBC contributor] received threatening text

Mara Gay@MaraGay

My day so far: received this lovely text message. Next had a medical assistant insist I never had covid at all because there were no tests in April when I got sick, even in the ER.

I hope she reports the the threatening text to the police. And for some medical assistant to tell her that she didn't have coronavirus - how appalling

I have seen her on MSNBC and been impressed every time. The crap that good people like her and Whitmer have to go through is just disgusting.

And yet these assholes who see themselves as "real men" because of their use of violent language (anonymously online) and weapon brandishing (against those who are unarmed and protesting peacefully), are in reality just insecure cowards. I know toxic masculinity is never going away but hopefully as some of these jerks die off, it will be reduced.
