Huh. I’ve seen journalists (@karenattiah.bsky.social in particular) pointing out Obama’s immigration policies were draconian, and online lefties attacking that. I don’t consider Attiah “the online left.” Nor were her facts attacks — they are public record. Did I miss an episode of BlueSky?

When OptumRx dropped coverage of his $66 inhaler, Cole couldn’t afford the new price.

The “covid is only a threat to the vulnerable” narrative primed the pump for the eugenics movement we’re seeing now.
It conditioned people to see the disabled & vulnerable as acceptable losses. People who were probably going to “die anyways”.
It paved the way for fascism.

Rugged individualism and “you do you” mentality are accelerating our decline.
Covid is a perfect example. The virus is airborne. Vulnerable people can’t choose not to breathe air.
We all share the air & if we cared about the quality of that air? We could beat the virus.
