Good article by Julia, but I would add, don’t just let us be, HELP. Wear a mask in places where high risk people have to be, so you aren’t *contributing* to their risk. This is ground zero of a you’re either helping or hurting situation.
Wrote about how disappointing it is that Jon Stewart punched down on people masking at @motherjones.com, when people should mind their own business and leave mask wearers be. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Hey Jon Stewart, jokes about wearing masks aren't funny
Critics of the Daily Show host say he's a hypocrite.

We all owe a vote of thanks to Bari Weis for insuring that far more people will watch the 60 Minutes segment on Immigration policy that ever would have if she hadn't interfered.

Some disappointed hopes. The Courts/Constitution will save us, The Congress will save us, the Military will obey their oaths, The DOJ will actually release evidence against him. Common to all the above is the hope that the saving of our way of life can be accomplished by someone else.

Why is anyone surprised that the gang continues the Epstein coverup? They have no need to fear consequences since the guy they are protecting can pardon them as many times as he wants. We will never see the real stuff.

Just for the record, going to war with Venezuela without congressional approval should be an impeachable crime. Killing just because he was part of Epstein's gang of merry abusers in the hope that we will forget.

The full unredacted Epstein Files were released last week, but everyone had forgotten about them so they weren't noticed and besides they only confirmed what we already knew.

People keep asking why the mainstream media doesn't report this or that about Trump. That's like asking why a dead guy refuses to sing at his own funeral.

Just saw an article that said the physics proves that interstellar travel is impossible which reminds of the mathematics professor who conclusively proved that bumblebees can't fly.

Some people are defending the drug boat (possibly) murders on the grounds that they don't care about us so why should we care about them? I thought one way to tell the difference between criminal gangs and governments their behavior. Now, there is no difference except the names.

Trump blundered by sending in the guard and two died for his stunt so now he must punish immigrants who collectively had nothing to do with this tragedy to direct attention away from himself.

The key to different cultures living peacefully together is respect for the fundamental dignity of each person. This includes the right to choose a cultural identity and an ability to value most differences.

My deep dive into hobbit history has taught me to think of the Brandybucks as the height of hobbit gentility. They are gracious, respected, eccentric, and enormously brave. Enjoy some leisure with them in this video short: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sPK...

People create governments to do for them collectively what they cannot do individually. Like build roads, or defend the country, or deal with crime. Anything that is beyond the means of most if not all. This now includes healthcare which only the super rich can afford. Socialism is necessary.

Hakeem must go. All the Socialism in this country comes from the Democrats and frankly, we need more. Like universal healthcare. Hakeem will do fine as a what passed for a Republican moderate.

I have frequently quoted the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence on Blue sky but now that I might be hung for it? So interesting that someone's whose only authority rests on these documents wants them disregarded.
