Well reasoned, thoughtful commentary by a microbiologist and infectious disease clinician. Rand Paul was disgusting in his interrogation of Dr. Fauci. We still don't know the the #Covid19 origin. We, Humanity, need to uncover how this type of pandemic can start.

The Fauci hearing was painful to watch. But we need answers on Covid-19’s origin| David Relman
Despite the recent hearings in Congress, we seem to be even further from the goal of understanding Covid-19’s origin’s than we have ever been

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

ICE and CBP agents seem to enjoy gratuitously breaking glass—from car windows to store fronts to homes. It’s an expression of unchecked power and dominance: “We’re in charge. We break and shatter what we want.”
And nights of broken glass have been a harbinger of worse to come.

Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.

It ISN'T a done deal.
Yes, it passed in the House, but the Senate hasn't taken it up yet.

Too obvious a point even to make, perhaps. But there was no “unrest” in Minneapolis before ICE and CBP showed up. ICE and CBP are the cause of the chaos…and the killings.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

The Winter Holidays are deserving of Hope, especially this year. We must be realistic and thoughtfully tactical but also support each other in holding on and holding together. John Lennon had something to say about this back in 1972. And also now again so true.
