Saying you’re going to “wait your turn” does little more than signal virtue.

If you want to help with the human goal of 70%-100% vaccination, please start booking appointments for eligible people & helping them get to those appointments.

In NYC follow @turbovax & get alerts.
Also IF you’re eligible, it is imperative you get vaccinated.

BMI 30+ (half of everyone), hypertension (42% of those over 50), & autoimmune issues like asthma & migraines qualify you in NYS.
We’re in a new phase of this disease. This is not last spring when we needed to be exceedingly sparing with masks & tests.

Right now we have a new collective effort & it’s to get every eligible person vaccinated. & Help w/that, & keep your eye on your own eligibility.
This is like voting.

Get out the vax.

My piece on the great Lawrence Ferlinghetti and the dread...cancel culture.

latimes.com/opinion/story/…
I promise you the 1957 "Howl" obscenity case has lessons for how to adjudicate 2021 cancelations.
1. Words have no fixed meaning. California v. Ferlinghetti contains this fr/Oliver W Holmes:

"A word is not a crystal, transparent & unchanged, it is the skin of a living thought & may vary greatly in color & content acc. to the circumstances & the time in which it is used."

If you’re all like Biden is boring it’s time to start thinking about how $2 trillion in cash and prizes packs a better punch than tweets and insurrections

And if you’re a traumatized child of the 70s panicking about inflation know that even dour sullen economists say the inflation lambs are not crying Clarice!
How about post stimulus we start tweeting help wanted signs for jobs with A+ benefits and our paid taxes and new electric vehicles

That will get Twitter hopping again

This is the real dynamic. Trump’s rivals, of course, get threats — but also: allies seen as disloyal, whistleblowers, witnesses, victims, journalists.

So many now get death threats from MAGA brownshirts. And there’s a noose & an insurrection that says they’re serious.
Schiff has said that his GOP colleagues know Trump is dangerous but can’t cross him for fear of a mention on Hannity. That is both (a) profound cowardice and (b) a reality. It is very, very demoralizing & frightening to endure the death-threat pileon from even one mention on Fox.
Even if the brownshirt campaign is minor—we’re not talking Pelosi-level—& you have nerves of steel, there’s the relentless insults, the rape & torture imagery, the doxing, the threats to kids, the *credible* threats that require police, the attacks on your livelihood.
