Several times a day, I stop short and remember that there's a (rapidly-worsening) pandemic and my state and national government's strategy for preventing large-scale sickness and death is basically "wear a mask if you want, but we're not gonna really stop doing stuff."
Like, Iowa's Covid numbers are exponentially worse than they were in March, our hospitals are full, a couple dozen people die every day, and most folks around here are like "yeah, but I got tired of quarantine, so..."
I can understand wanting to pretend things are normal; I guess that's a natural response. But when you say "everything is OK; our numbers still look good," I feel like I should point out that those "numbers" are actual sick and dead people. Any number > 0 is...not good!!

Every suburban, mall-hopping non-mask-wearing, Applebee's-crowding Republican in central Iowa drives a $50K crew-cab pickup and none of them know how to park it. Meanwhile, actual farmers drive a 15-year-old F150 because they don't need to impress anyone in the Lowe's parking lot
Just because you go to Lowe's every weekend doesn't mean you're a contractor, Kyle.
And stop trying to back into every goddamn parking space when you can barely keep your truck off the sidewalk making a right turn

He says, standing in front of a propane grill...dude hasn't cooked for himself in his life
And look at the dials--the thing ain't even on.
I mean, just go to a real BBQ joint and take a picture of your dinner--save yourself the embarrassment. Stick to your strengths.

It wasn't even 6 hours before we got the first "liberals have nothing to fear from My Good Friend The Nominee, whose views on social progress are to the Right of Torquemada, because she's smart" column. Centrists' fetish for civility is gonna be the death of us all.
"I think she's super sweet, even though she doesn't think some of you should have civil rights" is such a quintessential law bro take. A veneer of propriety is more important than actual principles. And people wonder why the judiciary is broken.
I mean, just fuck off. Image

"I know we did the legal, moral, and ethical thing that night" says one of the self-proclaimed "good guys" who executed a no-knock warrant, didn't identify themselves, and shot an innocent woman to death.

This murdering cop says it's a matter of good versus evil.
You cannot reform an institution that's full of armed men who see themselves as the sole enforcer of "good." They approach each call looking for war. The police see their constituents as adversaries, as things, not people
It doesn't have to be like this. But as a society, we've lost the capacity to think about solutions to big problems that don't involve violence. And that's one of the ways in which white supremacy continues to exact its deadly toll.
