Moms For Liberty And The Unified Theory of Far Right Grievance
Anti-maskers. Anti-school closings. Anti-vaxxers. Anti-something-vaguely-lumped-under-critical-race-theory.

"The Problem Is That We Are All Stupid"
*"The Problem Is That We Are All Stupid"* by David Cain "The question “What’s wrong with the world?!” is usually more of a statement of exasperation than a question. But it can be treated like a question, and it is a good question. Clearly *something* is wrong, at least with the human world. Even if you don’t trust the news to tell you how the world really is, we all witness too much pettiness, unfairness, and dishonesty to say with a straight face that nothing’s wrong. However, I’m not sure you could rewind us to a point in the last 10,000 years when we wouldn’t feel the same way.... read more

In Many States Minors may Consent to Receive COVID-19 Shots Without Parents’ Consent or Knowledge
A District Administration survey conducted just before the FDA’s authorization for 12-15-year-olds to receive the COVID-19 shot found that only 3 in 10 parents said they would vaccinate their children right away, with most instead wanting to wait and see, or saying they would not get their child vaccinated at all or would do so only if required for school.
