The amount of damage that COVID has done to public health — not just the immediate actual health of the public, but to public health as a concept — is really staggering. Going forward, how does anyone expect to credibly campaign to, for example, stop kids from vaping? Sure, it's bad for you, it's bad for the people around you whether they consent to it or not, but so is COVID, and public health officials at the federal, state, and local levels have decided it's perfectly acceptable to send kids to school while sick and have their teachers and school staffs come to work sick.

California decided at the beginning of the year that it's fine to make people go to work or school a mere 24 hours after a positive COVID diagnosis as long as they have no symptoms or their symptoms are "improving." (No masking or social distancing requirements, of course, because Freedom, and while the California state regulations now call for improved ventilation and filtration, that's an utter pipe dream as an effective COVID prevention strategy, both unenforced and basically unenforceable.) As a result, my county alone has killed, officially, almost 400 more people since the beginning of January, and since even three to five new deaths a day are no longer considered worth reporting, I assume that's a significant undercount.

In that environment, how do you credibly tell ANYONE to do or not do ANYTHING as a matter of public health? Why should anyone take the CDC or state health departments or local health officials seriously anymore? The fix is obviously in, and even where they bother to gather data, it demands so much skepticism that its utility is very questionable. If they won't accurately report on the ongoing pandemic that's killed millions, why should anyone believe they would accurately report on, e.g., dengue, or vaping-related lung injuries, or any of the bazillion other things that fall under their umbrella? That's going to cost, even beyond the huge human, economic, and moral costs of COVID itself.

*Gets upset at Gabriel being seen as forgivable than Chloe and Lila*

*Proceeds dragging down Lila or formulating/prophesying excuses to avoid isolate make exceptions to her specifically*

Lousy Marinettes at their finest.

Seriously why so again upset at Gabriel using Minority Demolisher?

That's like lames favorite things to see done or wish upon Lila specifically.

the alleged leak could have come from a thousand different sources and most team principals are sketchy af but sure the FIA and the media making a big deal out of this and purposely dragging susie’s name through the mud when she’s a woman in a leadership position in a sport that doesn’t make room for women in any way is definitely not about misogyny at all and they’d totally do the same if toto was married to a man!! rbr fans u are so right!!

So, all last week and the week before, I got a barrage of email junk from the ACLU begging for donations to Protect Democracy and Safeguard Civil Rights and stuff. I was already pretty salty about those on account of the "refusing to divest from Israel because it would harm the liquidity of their fucking investment portfolio" thing (see above link).

Then this morning, I get an ACLU email alert saying their latest local issue is … begging Biden to issue presidential pardons for 25 military veterans who were previously deported under Biden's sweeping deportation campaign, and framing this as being about how these Heroic Veterans are now in danger of being deported by the evil Trump. Which would seem awfully disingenuous to me even if I were sympathetic to the premise that people who sign up to commit imperial violence abroad should be entitled to a special path to citizenship, which, uh, not so much. (Borders are violence and the bipartisan anti-immigrant crusade is malevolent, but so is the U.S. military!) It feels way too STARSHIP TROOPERS for my liking.

This seems an uncomfortable preview of what we can probably expect from the ACLU over the next four years: attempts to Appeal to Patriotism and Appeal to Nationalism with some cosmetic lip service toward Civil Rights (for Loyal Citizens only, of course).
