Masks and Rights Talk
I am struck right-wing protesters’ repeated, adamant insistence that mask-wearing requirementsviolatethe Bill of Rights. The (utterly unfounded) claims that it is unnecessary and the (abjectly paranoid) assertions of an elite conspiracy to promote masks are sadly pretty ordinary in today’s political environment. But the normative “rights talk”, and the attempt to ground it in a conception of constitutional law, seems different and worthy of more attention. I remain completely unpersuaded that mask requirements offend any basic rights. But as someone interested in popular co... more »

On Mob’s Side, Government Tells Citizens: You’re on Your Own — but Don’t DARE Defend Yourself

So forget V, W and L; the letters that will shape the future are N, P, B: there is No Plan B. All the hopes for a recovery were based on a quick return to the economy that existed in late 2019.

I Hope The Biden Republicans Help Us Beat Trump. But What Happens If They Take Over The Democratic Party The Way They've Taken Over So Much Of MSNBC?

On exclusionary measures
Even as Scott Moe and his party have declared they're determined to let people die on Saskatchewan's streets for lack of funding, and warned that there's nothing but further real wage cuts on the horizon for public servants, they've managed to find public resources to keep pushing nuclear power - no matter how clear it is that the public is rightly opposed, and there's no rational economic basis to do it.
