We need the CDC to restore the original 10-day isolation. COVID is still a 10 day illnessā€”or longer for some folks, including my mom. I had it last year for 19 days despite being fully vaccinated and taking Paxlovid. And we need government to do more to protect usā€”indoor air rules, paid leave, etc

Musk settling with the SEC in late 2018 for $20m and winning his ā€œpedo guyā€ case in 2019 led to powerful realizations. He realized there was no law or regulator that could hold him accountable and that gave him a sense of invincibility that powered him through the pandemic and to the Twitter buyout.

Maybe I've memory-holed stuff or am just naive but man does this feel different.It genuinely feels like we turned some sort of corner recently where national-level politicians feel totally free to say the most racist shit imaginable, and correctly assume they will face zero consequences.
