From camo to campus: Intellectuals go anti-lockdown
The anti-lockdown movement has moved from MAGA-toting right-wingers to prominent leftist and libertarian intellectuals
Thaddeus Russell
My latest for @ridethenews contains good news: there are now intellectuals on the radical left and libertarian right who strongly oppose the lockdowns. It's a potential coalition that could bring back society.

Switzerland bans boiling lobsters alive
Lobsters are a delicious delicacy loved by coastal dwellers across the world -- but is boiling them alive inhumane?
Thaddeus Russell
We've decided that lobsters have feelings just like ours and must be treated humanely.
So we have to crush their head with a hammer before we boil them and eat them.

In a statement to VICE, Jeffrey Toobin apologized for the "embarrassingly stupid mistake."
Thaddeus Russell
Just imagine what the women who saw Toobin touching himself went through. The pain, the damage. Just inconceivable. They are not survivors. They are martyrs. We will never forget.

Bright Spot for N.Y.C.: In Schools, Only 18 Positives Out of 10,676 Tests
The absence of outbreaks, if it holds, suggests that the city’s efforts to return children to classrooms could serve as an influential model for the nation.
Thaddeus Russell
"Out of 15,111 staff members and students tested randomly by the school system in the first week of its testing regimen, the city has gotten back results for 10,676. There were only 18 positives: 13 staff members and five students."

S.F. might change 44 school names, renouncing Washington, Lincoln and even Dianne Feinstein
Parents and principals at schools were forced to scramble this week to brainstorm new school names while also juggling the demands of distance learning in a pandemic.
Thaddeus Russell
Dianne Feinstein, who as Senator has voted for every war she could, is getting canceled because in 1986 as the mayor of San Francisco "she reportedly replaced a vandalized Confederate flag, one of several historic flags flying in front of City Hall."

California kept prison factories open. Inmates worked for pennies an hour as COVID-19 spread
Inmates who made masks and furniture for as little as 35 cents an hour say they felt pressure to stay on the job, even as the coronavirus spread through the prison factories.
Thaddeus Russell
Here's a very long article about the horrors of the California prison system that does not mention any of the liberal Democratic politicians who built it.
Now imagine if Trump had been the governor or, like Kamala Harris, Attorney General here.

Too many leftists welcome disaster
Whether we welcome disaster or run from it, we should be grateful to Jane Fonda for opening a window onto what might be called the politics of disaster.
Thaddeus Russell
Leftists who want a strong government "know that pandemics and natural catastrophes, like depressions and war, provide fertile ground for both radical political movements and government to grow."
My latest for @ridethenews

Thaddeus Russell
"Just as the Great Depression and WWII gave rise to the strong government and state-managed economy of the original New Deal, Jane Fonda and Naomi Klein hope the perceived climate threat will galvanize a new movement to replace capitalism with socialism."
