A thread from Aldo describing his analysis of a particular YouTube channel is below.

This idea of agency/consent for children has local ramifications this week in North Kingstown, #RhodeIsland and proposed Sex Ed curricula.

A 🧵:
2/ NK is the home of the Aaron Thomas "Naked Fat Test" scandal. (A coach allegedly was performing fat tests on athletes while they were nude, without true/informed parental consent.)

Now, enter new Sex Ed curricula revision discussion.
3/ It's important to remember that SIECUS et al. gives insight into "why" Sex Ed should be changed, the National Sex Ed Standards is the "what" to be taught, and curriculum is the "how" schools administer, and whether it starts in grade K or Grade 6 is merely the "when". So....

Sequence count by US State

California, New York and Texas have submitted a huge share of sequences with specimen collection dates in the last 15 days.

[It appears like a tug of war between XBB.1.5 and BQ.1.1 mainly because of no. of sequences uploaded from West and South]

The full #RhodeIsland #ActonClimate 2022 update of the state 2016 greenhouse gas reduction plan is just up on line, comment quick since we basically have no time to review it before it's final. #climate climatechange.ri.gov/act-climate/wo…
To say we've had uneven progress is an understatement:
(in 2018)

Since 2016, electric power consumption emissions decreased by 28.0%,

heating emissions INCREASED by 13.5%,

commercial heating emissions INCREASED 8.8%,

transportation emissions INCREASED 8.8%

...priorities
Lots of good policy ideas upfront. Hope this will be introduced this coming leg session: "Like the .. 100% RES"..a "renewable thermal standard to phase thermal emissions down at intervals that align with the #ActonClimate mandates." @DawnEuer @SenatorRuggerio @JoeShekarchi

Have a look at the recent surge in #Hospitalizations among children (< 18 years old age group; colored yellow)

BA.2 is the most dominant circulating lineage in #RhodeIsland

CALL TO ACTION ❗❗❗

➡️ MUST SIGN UP BY 4PM TODAY!

Tomorrow, there will be 4 HEARINGS in regards to the abuse of Governor Dan McKee's emergency powers - 2 of them are GOOD & 2 of them are BAD 💔

#RhodeIslandFreedomFighters
#RhodeIsland #Providence #StopTheStateOfEmergency
The HOUSE will be hosting IN-PERSON testimony with an additional option to testify over the phone, but the SENATE is still too afraid to meet in person, so that hearing will ONLY be done over the phone.
We need AS MANY PEOPLE to show up to testify, or sign up to virtually testify for these hearings as possible... You can submit written testimony as well!!!

➡️ SUPPORT - H7217 & H7218
➡️ OPPOSE - H7256 & S2154

Wednesday's #Covid19 megathread makes an early start as there's so much news to bring you!

#Omicron takes centre stage in Europe with a raft of records (recap coming up), but #UK ministers are increasingly confident the NHS won't be swamped despite England's lack of restrictions
It turned out to be a terrible Tuesday, not just in #UK, which was just one of TEN European countries to hit all time high daily #Covid19 infection numbers.

#Cyprus #France #Greece #Iceland #Italy #Malta #Montenegro #Portugal and #Spain the others to set new records.
Concern in #Norway. The #Omicron wave looked to be beyond the peak; is it making a comeback or is it still delayed Christmas cases?
4,702 new #Covid19 infections, fewer than 100 down on last Weds.

Better health data. 315 in hospital, down 13 since y'day, although 120 are in ICU

As we approach the end of 2021, we want to look back at all we've accomplished this year:
We ended #ChildMarriage in not one but TWO states this year! Both #RhodeIsland and #NewYork signed laws making the marriage age #18NoExceptions!
We took our first in-person trip in over a year to stand alongside #RI @GovDanMcKee as he signed #H5387/ #S398 and made #RhodeIsland the fifth U.S. state to ban all marriage before 18, without exceptions! @JulieCasimiroRI
We also hosted a #ChainIn Celebration in #NYC after #NewYork became the 6th U.S. state to #EndChildMarriage after 6 long years of our tireless advocacy! That definitely deserved a celebration! @SalazarSenate @PhilRamos6AD #YearInReview #EndChildMarriageUSA #6Down44ToGo

Yes, we are still in the middle of a global pandemic, #COVID19, but let’s not forget about the #opioid epidemic, a public health issue we have been dealing with a while... What can we do about it?? #ph260720 #opioidepidemic Image
In 2017 (more than 4 years ago), @HHSGov declared the #opioidepidemic as a public health emergency. An “emergency” situation that we have not been able to control yet... #publichealthemergency #ph260720
hhs.gov/opioids/about-…
According to @CDCgov and @NIDAnews, more than 70,000 Americans die every year due to opioid overdose. That is 70,000 lives (read in bold!) lost every year, the majority of which is preventable. #opioidepidemic #opioidskill #opioidoverdose #ph260720 Image

Psuedo “expert” Dr Jha of #RhodeIsland ‘s own Brown U expounds on masking. Whoops. But objective truth and data don’t matter in the post modern field of “Public Health”.
Yet the good “Dr” can charge big bucks to advise “business leaders” and “policy makers” on pandemic strategies. Perhaps he should see a therapist first? First “Tool”: Hide under your damn bed!

The Concord project opted to go with Solar (PV) connected to an energy storage system (battery storage) in lieu of a backup generator.

This system has been designed to keep the critical loads for the home operational even if the utility power is knocked out.
This includes the backup heating and domestic hot water system (gas boiler with radiant floor heat + indirect hot water tank), the refrigerator, freezer, microwave, TV/WiFi, lighting and receptacles in strategic areas.
The Generac PwrCell provides 18 kWh of battery storage in a single cabinet, and up to 9 kW of continuous power output, enough to power the critical loads for extended periods of time. It can also be expanded to 36 kWh of battery storage in the future should it ever be needed.

This has to be one of most effective analytic takedowns of another side's argument.

Jeh Johnson wrote a deeply flawed piece opposing @SenGillibrand @SenJoniErnst's legislation on #SexualAssault in military.

This by @rachelv12 is a master class.👇

justsecurity.org/77025/professi…
2. One example

Johnson rhetorically claims: "A military commander must have legal authority over those in a unit...The two must be inseparable."

VanLandingham with the facts: "Demonstrably false given the thousands of U.S. military commanders" without any such legal authority.
3. "Mr. Johnson...warns that Congress shouldn’t fix what isn’t broken, and should leave everything but sexual assault crimes alone.

Fact: Court-martialing Black service members at a rate twice that of their white counterparts is a broken system in need of repair. Period."

Shout out to @femaregion1, @RIHEALTH, and others for an amazing experience with COVID vaccination in Providence today, a great illustration that public health is as much a social science as about medicine and biology. A short thread explaining why: ↵
I was accompanying a person who is very, VERY scared of needles. They wanted to get vaccinated, but were also really afraid of doing it. We went to The Dunc [@DunkinDonutsCtr]. Very smooth, quick, efficient. We get to the point where we get assigned a vaccination booth. ↵
The lady senses that this person is really nervous. They can't see the face (mask), but the voice gives it away. They ask, "Are you really nervous about this?" They say yes. I'm expecting the usual, "Oh, don't worry, it's nothing", etc. But no: ↵

Any policy enforcer imposes statutes & codes, phyiscally assult/murder a fellow countryman is Treason and Sedition.

Policy enforcers violate their own Federal Statutes 24/7.

Look up these statutes 👇
United States Code, Title 18 § 241 Conspiracy against rights.
#Rhodeisland
2)
United States Code, Title 18 §242 Deprivation of rights under color of law.

Policy enforcers for example when they pull you over & and issue you a fine violate the 4th Amendment & the 5th Amendment-due process.
