“Here’s what to do if you traveled for Thanksgiving”

It is so.... disappointing, frustrating? Such mild words when I guess the right word is fucked up (ok 2 words). People were asked to stay home, stop drinking in bars until the wee hours, postpone gatherings like weddings and funerals, shop on line, stay out of the malls etc etc. And thousands, likely millions did. But…

Why the hell is NY reopening schools? That's nuts, especially right at the end of the semester and two weeks before winter break. Keep me closed! 

I live in a Red state and couldn’t agree more. I saw a family of four at the grocery store yesterday, maskless and glaring at me like I was the asshole for staring at them. I just couldn't fucking believe it. It shouldn't shock me, but it did.

It’s totally surreal. Once again COVID is raging and once again no one really knows what to do, meanwhile the alleged current “president of the United States” is on the TV, braying and bleating about “massive dumps” and completely moronic (and obviously made up) conspiracy theories about the election he lost almost a…

What really enrages me is that blue states were largely proactive in their early efforts to contain the virus, but we’re now subject to further restrictions because of the recalcitrance from the red states to adhere to the barest minimum of the social contract to mitigate it. We could ostensibly be returning to…

As Trump continues to babble lies about election fraud and the massive conspiracy to steal the election. He really should be hanged from a scaffold on the National Mall.

Just spit balling here but some back of the envelope stuff.

Every time a working - class person is evicted, an anti-abortion activist gets her wings.

We did something closer to this in Australia. Even our conservatives were ultimately on board. Though not perfect in our responses, everyone was ultimately dragged in the correct direction enough to both eliminate the virus from the community and financially support a lot of people during the worst of the crisis to…

Added to this: electricity and heat. And Medicare for All.

Well no fucking shit. Here’s what we do:

Maybe considering many think she’s the swing vote on abortion, Amy Coathanger Barrett?

You Europeans, being comfortable with your bodies and not being bitter and judgemental, then lensing that through religious piety for cover. My joyless scold ancestors on the Mayflower murdered millions of Indigenous people to get away from just such behavior.

It is nuts that not only the Senate and the electoral college are completely controlled by a minority, but now SCOTUS is too. I hope Biden makes some changes so that SCOTUS better reflects the values of Americans, not just the values of creepy right wing religious groups and corporations. It makes a mockery of the law…

On twitter it’s trending as Amy COVID Barrett

Seriously. What good are any of our state and local laws if the fucking god squad can smash it all with their little book of ancient myths? 

So does this decision mean that a governing body has no say in a public health crisis? How about hurricanes, floods, terrorist attacks? Is this SCOTUS codifying the Bannon philosophy of “Burn it all down!”? Why not just have The Purge all day, every day?

Aaw. Missing family? Let’s all hope that next year we’ll be looking back with a peculiar sense of longing for a bit of peace and quiet. Happy Thanksgiving, and thank you for giving me a laugh.

When the angelic hosts arrive during the half time shows of America’s annual slaughter of Lions or Bears and tens of millions fight through carbo-induced lethargy and half-hearted family for touch football scrimmages across half raked leaf covered battlefields, the joyous, sun crowned mind of Harron Walker. Will have i…
