I am BEGGING people to be skeptical of articles that cite no sources, describe no mechanisms, and come from nobody you’ve ever heard of. Did the Pacific Tree Octopus fight in vain?
The thing about human rights is that you don't have to do anything to deserve them. You don't even have to be a "good person" or a "model citizen". You don't have to look good or talk well. All you have to be is a human being.
The idea that Scholastic could create a program designed to opt out, censor and ban diverse books from its book fairs and then call it "Share Every Story, Celebrate Every Voice" is the phoniest, weakest position anyone could think up
Universal healthcare is such an awful, inefficient, ineffective, and expensive disaster that every single country who has implemented it has continued to use it and it’s citizens regularly applaud it. Sounds absolutely abysmal.

"People are too tired to mask" is a BS excuse for inaction.
You can require masks. You can distribute free N95 masks. You can educate people that COVID is airborne.
Unless you are doing all of these things, you have no right to say "people are tired." The fault is yours.
