Universities have
-faculty/staff who are NOT boosted 18-22s w/no health risks
-part of communities that include many people are NOT boosted 18-22s with no health risks

(Also lots of students aren't boosted - new policies just starting.)

Tricky issue; shouldn't pretend otherwise
When someone opens a university in a sealed biosphere containing only students, please let me know Image

I find bizarre the way liberals on this bird site deny/downplay that Ds have moved left politically - echoes of denials that many elite institutions have moved left on race. These are just obviously true statements. We can argue about magnitudes or effects but denial is strange.

-Rittenhouse's reckless decisions resulted in a situation that left three people dead
-He benefited from his race in countless ways
-A lot of commentary is pushing a simple narrative about the events and law that can't withstand scrutiny persuasion.community/p/the-rittenho…
Obviously typo above, two people dead and a third shot but not killed
this is well-said

Find yourself people to follow who can hold these ideas in their heads at the same time:
-"Steele’s sources were not very good at all"
-There is "clear evidence of the Russian government’s efforts to intervene in the 2016 election on the side of Donald Trump"

Both can be true!

What would you say if you saw it in another country?

Laboratories of democratic erosion. What happens there can and likely will spread.
