just a reminder that the Supreme Court made everyone involved in hearing the vaccine mandate case take a PCR test in advance, guaranteeing a level of protection that is wildly out of reach for nearly every worker affected by this decision

- the White House governs by mandate
- which Supreme Court invalidates, saying Congress needs to pass legislation
we have, largely, anti-governance

One in 500 Americans has now died from COVID.
At each sad milestone, I am struck by how so many have had to completely contort themselves to keep their heads buried in the sand.
It's amazing to me how many news reports on the Delta disaster manage to avoid mentioning "Republicans". It's not all political. But the political aspect is huge, and you would think impossible to ignore
