I hope Renee Nicole's bravery lights the blue touchpaper of mass civil resistance. Not just for the sake of America, but for the whole world. Murders like hers, especially caught on video, have a recent history of doing that.
She was a warrior. They are cowards killing, quite literally, The Good.

What Steve said. There has never been a study in which high-quality, well-fitting masks were actually WORN that did not show a significant impact on disease transmission. Many mask studies failed to take account of post-allocation confounders (non-adherence + non-mask people choosing to mask).
So, to those who say "masks don't work", cite the flawed Cochrane report, insist upon an unfeasible RCT, accuse folks of panic, and undermine public health on social and mainstream media during a flu/RSV epidemic...

Although some of these amounts for individual MPs are large, the average over 650 MPs is £461.50 so clearly some take nothing, others very little. bit.ly/48Y0mkg But the headline plays into a world view of corrupt politicians which generally, really we don’t have.
From football tickets to gigs, MPs accept £300,000 of gifts in a year
Anti-corruption campaigners have raised fresh concerns that such freebies may affect the decision making of politicians

Probably won’t see this in mainstream media - aka the right wing press - coz it’s against their narrative. Wind energy in Britain broke a new record last week with nearly 23GW on the grid one cold windy evening. That was 56% of all electricity on Britain’s grid.
