    Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens committed to ruthlessly dragging public officials can change the world. Indeed it's the only thing that ever has.

    1/ There will be no update today. At 8:30 am this morning, state police came into my house and took all my hardware and tech. They were serving a warrant on my computer after DOH filed a complaint. They pointed a gun in my face. They pointed guns at my kids..

    We give $50 billion dollars in federal contracts to each year.

    For a cost of less than $3 billion the government could fund initial R&D on vaccines *for every known virus with pandemic potential.* In the event of a pandemic you could have a final Phase III trial wrapped up on a vaccine within 10 weeks.

    You know I used to scoff at Freud's concept of the Death Drive. But here we are

    !! Republican state labor commissioner in North Carolina says there's no need for any workplace rules to keep people safe from COVID because "the virus has not been proven likely to cause death or serious physical harm."

    At this point, because ozone is a secondary pollutant contingent on meteorology, our efforts to cut NOx & VOCs will be overwhelmed by the consequences of our decades of pumping CO2 into the atmosphere, as a new study from et al confirms

    A California official says 2020 was a “really, really bad ozone year” for Southern California despite a 21-day stretch of smog-free days in Los Angeles that overlapped coronavirus stay-at-home orders.

    Okay then

    This is going to have exactly the opposite effect of the one they intend. They are re-racializing our society - exactly the opposite of the MLK Jr. dream.

    Atherton, America's richest zip code for the fourth year running, isn’t technically a gated community. But the town has created walls of its own in the boundaries it has place to remain exclusive and thwart efforts to build affordable housing.
