@Jazzhampton built an app that—when Cops pull you over—gets you a lawyer on your phone ASAP upon voice command or 1 touch, who witnesses & video records the interaction, manages the convo, & deescalates

FYI it's incredibly affordable. Free for low income people and $7/mo for everyone else. It's in about 25 states now and will be nationwide in the next 60-90 days.

Masks are not a lockdown.
Nor is testing before events.
Or getting boosters.
Or improving ventilation & filtration.

None of those interventions (despite some people's best efforts to claim otherwise) cause more harm than good. Every person who cares about the economy, jobs & quality of life will support sensible #COVID19 precautions, not oppose them.

Some people are advocating for millions more to die and many more to be chronically disabled. Reject their patent lack of sense & empathy.

If #COVID19 gaslighting were applied to other risks:

“We tried laws against murder, yet murders still occur. We must rescind those laws and learn to live with murder.”

“People are tired of not smoking, so we should just ignore the risks and allow smoking, again.”

“I feel safe driving drunk, so I should be free to do so.”

“Seatbelts can trap you in a car after an accident, so you should avoid wearing them.”

“There's a mass shooter in the mall, but I really want to shop, so I will do so.”

When the Republican extremists (redundant?) have full control over the House agenda, once they actually permit a speaker to be named, one of their top priorities is to cause the United States to default on its debt. That will trigger a global economic catastrophe.

It will be essential if and when they do this, for Big Journalism to make totally clear -- with no quoting "both sides" bullshit -- what has happened.

What worries me is that I'm not sure journalists will rise to the occasion.
