Questions nobody asked on the Sunday morning news/talk shows abt #BuffaloTerroristAttack :
1.) NY is a pro-gun-control state: Where did this teen get his weapons, ammo, body shield?
2.) Teen lived in #COVID19 isolation w/parents -- how could they be unaware of his politics?
MORE
3.) The teen started down this path apparently at age 15 while in COVID lockdown: when/where did he learn to shoot? Who taught him?
4.) Was the shooter a member of a firing range or gun club? Do such entities allow kids <18 in w/out parental consent? Did parents know?
MORE
5.) The kid was using a lot of bandwidth for 3 yrs on-line & streaming live. He shared WiFi w/his parents, and they never noticed?
6.) It's reported the shooter was in far-right chat & streaming grps: Did those moderators know he was legally a child? If yes; culpable?

Since the burden of #COVID19 prevention is now on the shoulders of individuals, not government or community, here are some risks for you to personally calculate when deciding 😷or 😃:
1.) Since vaccination doesn't not block catching or spreading virus, am I a risk to others?
MORE Image
2.) If Delta was more contagious than Beta, & Omicron more than Delta, & BA.1 more than Omicron, & BA.2 more than BA.1...is it inevitable I will get infected if I am unmasked?
3.) Each time a new variant emerges, who do I believe to tell me if it is able to bypass my vax?
MORE Image
4.) If I'm in a crowded subway car & an unmasked guy is coughing, what do I do?
5.) How many vaccines/boosters do I need, when, & at my specific age & health status to feel safe going mask-less?
6.) If I'm dining & the waiter wears a mask, do I have a moral duty to 😷, too?

America, we have to talk about this: criticalissues.umd.edu/sites/critical…
This poll compared #Republican #Democrats & Independent opinions related to the #Russian war on #Ukraine and the results are shocking.
When asked to name the two national or world leaders they dislike most, GOP:👇
MORE Image
2/ #Democrats had a very different list of dislikes, predictably. If you combine their 1st & 2nd choice top picks, 76% of Dems rank #Putin at the top.
MORE Image
3/ Only one question found Americans, regardless of Party affiliation, in near-unanimity -- fear of nuclear war with #Russia .

Putin meant to grab #Ukraine & drive wedges between #NATO & #Russian-bordering nations.
Instead, he's evoked unification of economic, military & political forces across Europe, G7, the @EU @imf @WorldBank & @NATO into a block of unprecedented unity & resolve, that met today.
MORE Image
2/ It's been called the strongest alliance since WWII. But today's @NATO declaration, coupled w/alliances #Biden has formed, leaves #Russia isolated, issues a clear call-out to #China & makes ironclad an all-of-Europe mutual defense posture that's quite unprecedented.
MORE Image
3/ This is one of the most historic declarations of the last century. It quite simply realigns the world, geopolitically -- going well beyond response to the #russianinvasion of #Ukraine . We are witnessing a crushing defeat of #Putin's masterplan to divide the West.

WOW
Remember when #Sweden advocated a "herd immunity" approach to #COVIOD19 -- no lockdowns, just let the virus spread. And Sweden's epidemic was the deadliest per capita in northern Europe. Here is a stunning account of how this happened.
MORE
2/ "The Public Health Agcy labelled advice from national scientists & intl authorities as extreme positions, resulting in media & political bodies to accept their own policy instead. The Swedish people were kept in ignorance of basic facts such as the airborne #SARSCoV2..."

3/ "...transmission, that asymptomatic individuals can be contagious & that face masks protect both the carrier & others. Mandatory legislation was seldom used; recommendations relying upon personal responsibility & w/out any sanctions were the norm."
