The book did unfortunately popularize the “Patient Zero” idea, linking disease emergence to “superspreaders”.
Modern science has disproven it, but the idea that diseases can be pinned on devious outsiders emerges with every new disease. We saw this with Asians in both SARS and COVID.

There are specific reasons Trumpists want war on Venezuela, but there‘s a generic one: they crave power to make war on anyone, any time, for completely fabricated reasons, and then to use the guise of war to increase violence and repression everywhere, including home.
They are lawless bestial scum.

Charlie Kirk's assassination is heinous and frightening and warrants widespread condemnation.
But it should not protect him or others who engage in such politics of extremism from critical review.

No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way
His assassination deserves full condemnation; his full impact should not be sidestepped.

The wild thing about firing teachers for telling the truth about #CharlieKirk is that #CharlieKirk never should have been allowed to spew his bigotry to students in the first place.

Military aid to Ukraine has always been a bargain for the U.S.
We degraded Russia’s armed forces and replaced our own stockpiles with brand new weapons, all while brave Ukrainians— not Americans—fought the Russians off.
Halting that aid is not only morally repulsive, it’s plain stupid.
