@giazilo You'd think this simplie approach to public health is a reasonable and effective way of managing the pandemic, but in the era of culture wars, it isn't.

Mandating that students, staff and faculty get vaccinated to be on campus, and requiring regular tests for those who can't get vaccinated for health reasons, shouldn't be controversial. It's just common sense that will keep everyone safe. thestar.com/news/gta/2021/…

The fact that they found the parents of the 500 stolen migrant children in 30 days doesn’t seem to be getting the coverage it deserves.

I get it now. Ted and Heidi Cruz wanted their children to be safe, to have basic sanitary services like heat and running water, to leave behind a third-world apocalyptic nightmare for a safer place. Like so many parents before them, they decided to cross the Mexican border.
