Not a big fan of the "sick, elderly and/or disabled people don't count" discourse that appears to follow public health disasters these days.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 2d agoBreaking News: Two deaths in Michigan have been linked to cyclospora. Both people who had the parasite also had underlying health issues.
We fucking told you that people would die if Trump was elected, if RFK Jr was put in charge of health. And now when people die these assholes will blame the victims, blame partisanship, blame the people who reported on it, warned about it, anyone but themselves for helping it happen.

I wouldn't normally post this, but I've long admired Wilson's work (and appreciated her review of a certain movie this week), so seeing There Is No Place for Us as the book she "can't stop talking about" really means a lot.

We've been in the ripping-the-copper-wiring-out-of-the-walls era of society for awhile now. There's no attempts to make anything better. There's no attempts to make anything people want. It's just syphoning gas out of cars and burying people in gambling debt from rigged betting markets.
