Imagine if these crybabies ever faced actual oppression.
Facing mass voter disenfranchisement, they vote for it, but if they have to take some easy free steps before getting access to endless breadsticks suddenly it’s TO THE BARRICADES.

Get over yourselves, Nathan Hale.
These dipshits are the Rosa Parks of people who would have called the cops on Rosa Parks.
*shitting on the restaurant tables* I am being systematically removed from society for this
Yeah it’s awesome.
*pissing in the salad bar* once again we see that my enemies will go to any lengths to crush me, a freedom fighter

The human capacity to ignore the most relevant part of an issue in order to believe what they want to believe is extraordinary.

In the case of the pandemic, that thing is increasingly this: that we are still in a pandemic, and the pandemic is still a destabilizing problem.
There are many reasons we remain in pandemic. Some may prove endemic. Most are systemic political blocks to coordinated responses that are possible and necessary, but not yet attempted.

It's tiring. It's awful.

Nevertheless, we remain in a pandemic, which remains destabilizing.
The problem of the virus is a systemic one, and the system is the human body.

The unwillingness/inability to effectively counter it is a political one, which is its own type of systemic problem.

In this country especially, the problem is cultural. We have a culture of neglect.

People who want to keep the filibuster to kill the bill think the same as her, not differently.

It’s those who want to remove the filibuster in order to safeguard our democracy who think differently from her.

Where are her attempts to understand them?
Comfortable people discomfited by injustice are always asked to “understand different perspectives,” and it never ever means the people who are actually harmed by injustice, who have an actually different perspective. It always means those who are comfortable with injustice.
Yes, and what do we mean when we say “we’ve never been so polarized,” anyway?

What if instead we said “It’s been a long time since the reality of injustice has been made so unavoidably present to otherwise comfortable people”?

“I want my life back” is a hell of a thing to say much less publish when 5.5 million people have actually lost their actual lives. Another horseshit article that positions Covid prevention me
We still insist on prevention measures because there are still at risk people who are very much in danger and for whom vaccination is not an option, who can’t simply opt out of caring.

So tired of these articles that frame it as if we’ve chosen this because we like it somehow.
Yes! I also want life to return to normal! We all do! Everyone wants this!

It’s hasn’t, because our leaders have refused to do what is necessary to make it happen, I guess in the hopes that those of us who can afford the risk of just shrugging and moving on will do so.

I can't believe we're forced into arguing over whether or not preventing a potentially crippling or deadly disease is good with the same people with whom we argued over whether or not a terminally ignorant fascist rodeo clown should be president.
"Preventing disease is good, actually."
"Oh? I'm sure you have proof. Be detailed. I'll wait."
"Ok, one second. Here."
"What you haven't considered is that preventing disease is inconvenient."
"Not to people who might die."
"No I mean inconvenient to me. Slightly."
"I see, OK. Well have you considered this:"

This strikes me as simultaneously far too narrow and far too broad, somehow.

THE American novel is a funny idea to me, though.
The American novel always argues for the bill but when you offer lets you pay.

The American novel frequently forgets to put the trash out on pick up day.

The American novel intends to spend more time with friends this year.

The American novel hums along to Jackson Browne tunes
The American novel frequently has a dream it can’t remember, other than to say that it was the same dream as last time.

The American novel has a shirt it bought in 2005 it still thinks of as new.

Right now I'm thinking about a certain type of journalist/media figure who scolds: "twitter isn't real life" meaning "the thing of vital importance that you all are aware of is not something most people are aware of or care about."

As if there is some moral fault in being aware.
Right now I'm thinking about a certain type of journalist who looks at a critical mass of the population that doesn't care about something of vital importance, and decides that collective nonchalance is "real life," and not a failure of journalism's mandate to inform the public.
I mean, sure, "Twitter isn't real life" when it comes to Green Glewald's latest snippy beef with whatever other social media personality, or Jorts the cat, or whatever.

But when it comes to matters of public health, environment, social justice?

Maybe real life isn't real life.
