Why are my fellow Americans so stupid?
An Idaho health department, which covers over 300,000 residents across six counties, is no longer offering Covid-19 shots. Experts worry the unusual move, driven by vaccine misinformation, could fuel further efforts to interfere with immunizations.

Donald Trump’s home state of Florida has historically made it difficult for convicted felons to vote. But Trump, who was convicted of 34 felony counts in New York State this year, faced no such hurdles casting a ballot for himself on Tuesday. nyti.ms/3YDuzis

the social impact of channel 12 defies measurement
Here's Philly rap legend Freeway canvassing with LeVar Burton singing the Reading Rainbow theme. You can see how much it touched Burton.
National media loves to hate Philly because of the Eagles fans from the Northeast, but fuck all that noise Philly is the best.

Donald Trump’s home state of Florida has historically made it difficult for convicted felons to vote, but Trump, who was convicted of 34 felony counts in New York State this year, will face no such hurdles casting a ballot for himself on Election Day.
Can Donald Trump Vote in the Election?
Prohibitions on voting will not apply to the former president, who was convicted of 34 felony counts in New York State this year.

After Biden beat Trump in 2020, the union of concerned scientists asked me to make a science policy wishlist. I was shocked to learn that the Biden administration had already done everything I hoped they’d do in 4 years.
