If nothing is ever done to stop the uncontrolled spread of Covid-19, the likely outcome is a matter of straightforward logic: more repeated infections, more mass illness, and more excess mortality, inevitably resulting in the total breakdown of the human community.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

I wrote about why the regrettable conclusions of Ezra Klein pissed me off so badly in the last couple weeks.
On moral cowardice in an era that calls for clarity, and a popular political instinct to try to solve divisions of abuse by ignoring causes. www.the-reframe.com/eventually-y...

Not only do we routinely see kids dying in ICE custody, now they’re missing nearly 1000 people who were being held in Alligator Alcatraz?
HOW THE HELL is this not a stop the presses moment?
We can only hope it’s not a Brubaker moment.

Fundamentally, the reason I avoid Covid is because all - all - of the elements of my life that bring me joy and fulfillment rest on my cardiovascular fitness and / or my cognition. I'm not going to risk a virus wrecking that, as I've seen happen to way too many people I know.

Hey, so...Covid rates have gotten real high. Maybe change your behavior to fit this new risk profile? Stop eating indoors at restaurants, mask on mass transit, that kind of thing?

I don’t know how to say this without sounding harsh, but I need you to hear it. COVID — or SARS-2 — is not “just another cold.” It doesn’t leave you the same. Every reinfection stacks damage: brain, heart, immune system.

Tonight’s #FridayLimericks look at how John Roberts brought us here.
With redistricting wars in full swing,
Our democracy’s feeling the sting.
The Chief Justice’s role
Suggests this was the goal—
Giving oligarchs air underwing.

Covid-19 poses an extreme danger to every human being.
Covid-19 spreads quickly by means of airborne infection.
Covid-19 is currently out of control everywhere.
To avoid the life-threatening harm of Covid-19, wear a respirator mask in all situations of potential contagion.

We're paying for the IDF. Not just in the way of weapons, but we're paying for them to have cushy retirements after genociding babies, toddlers, tweens, and adults.
Wanna talk about government waste? We should start with the billions we give Bibi.

1. This week, the FBI released its comprehensive crime report for 2024, which revealed that both VIOLENT CRIME and PROPERTY CRIME reached their LOWEST LEVELS SINCE THE 1960s
This a massive story. But you might not have heard about it, even if you follow the news closely.

Why you might not know that 2024 was America's safest year since the 1960s
An overwhelming majority of Americans, 64 percent, believe that crime increased across the country in 2024, according to a Gallup survey conducted late last year.

Obedience without orders.
Capitulation before the blow.
Some kneel from fear.
Others kneel for favor.
But tyranny feeds only itself.
It takes your dignity, your name, your spine—
and gives you nothing back but ash.
Refuse to bow.
Refuse to follow.
