Elie Mystal minces no words. An excerpt:
The government can require people to be healthy. It cannot require people to get sick.
Via C&L, which has commentary.
Vaccine Nation, the Freaks Freak Out Dept. 0
Afterthought:
To again quote my history professor from many years ago, Dr. Shade, “history is irony.”
Here the irony, at least as I see it, is that many Republicans are willing to let voters sicken and die because they think that doing so will help them win votes.

In the Des Moines Register, a parent pens a letter to her governor, who has claimed that he hasn’t seen data that masks help protect against COVID-19. A snippet:
Governor, no one is hiding data from you. The data showing masks in schools help reduce COVID-19 transmission is clear and it is not under lock and key. If you need hard copies on your desk, I volunteer to hand-deliver them to you.
She then proceeds to deliver a downpour of said data.
Give it a read.
Gutting Out the Vote 0
And the moral of the story is, “Show a Republican a new depth and he’ll stoop to it.”

David delivers an epic rant about Republican hypocrisy. And he is correct on every count.
Afterthought:
I’m a Southern Boy. I grew up under Jim Crow and went to segregated schools. I took my degree in history, and, though my college did not recognize concentrations in awarding degrees (nor did it recognize minors, or I would have a minor in sociology), I concentrated in U. S. Southern.
I am descended from persons who, as the saying goes, held slaves; some of those ancestors wore the grey.
I know a racist when I see one.
As far as I can tell, the two unifying principles of today’s Republican Party are racism and greed.

A Notion of Immigrants 0
The Arizona Republic’s Elvia Diaz highlights the hypocrisy of Republicans’ tears over the plight of Afghan asylum seekers, even as they separated the families and caged the children of those closer to our borders. A nugget:
But the Republicans’ hypocrisy have no limits. To them, the desperation of asylum seekers from anywhere is just another weapon to attack President Joe Biden.
Don’t forget these are the same Republicans who’ve been attacking the president over the Central American asylum seekers also fleeing all sorts of violence and extreme poverty.
