And some people wondered why I got a Polio booster this past fall. Shit, if I thought I could get a smallpox vaccine, I'd do it.

Reporters, if you wrote about learning loss due to covid school closures, you can write about learning loss due to state terror.
I am not being snarky. I need my colleagues who wrote on covid school lockdowns to engage with this. To be as loud as they have been about prior "learning loss." Hell, you can cite Tom & Mark's AERJ paper so you feel better that there's some econ somewhere in your argument.

Kinzinger: I saw a stupid post with a picture of The Art of the Deal, saying, “If you want to understand Donald Trump…” blah blah blah. And I’m like, actually, if you want to understand Donald Trump, we need the rest of the Epstein files.

Them, but also more directly: 285 people out of 535 could end all this (218 + 67). That fact should not be treated as an "oh they'll never do it" shrug, as if they don't have agency. They should be hammered constantly as traitors and cowards every day they don't.
Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

If this doesn't make you start spewing profanities, man...
From Steve Simon, MN Secy of State. ICE agents chase down and handcuff a child in negative temperatures while he's saying "I'm legal".

How is this making us safer?

So you think kids should be vaccinated at gunpoint against their parents’ wishes or removed from the home?

It's currently -10° in Minneapolis and they still got thousands of people to march and protest outside.

They picked the wrong city.
They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

Someone was joking the Finns only sent 2 guys to Greenland because they thought 3 was overkill..

Maybe there is some truth to that. 😂
Exercise commanders had to ask 🇫🇮 reservists, the most formidable Arctic warriors, who were playing the role of invaders in the war games, to go easy on the Americans. “The Finns had to be told to stop beating the Americans as it was embarrassing and demoralising for them,” a mil source said.”
