Count Dankula recently received a "strike" on YouTube for his original "Nazi Pug" joke video...
...which YouTube itself took down last year. Also, and I find this to be absolutely stunning, let's say you wanted to see that video to figure out what the fuss was about. Please compare the Google results for the search "count dankula pug video" and the Bing results for the same search Bing is useful, Google is not, because Google is extending YouTube's censorship practices to the video results of its own searches. |

Not censorship by Instagram, but censorship OF Instagram:
A Wisconsin teen had a severe respiratory illness; doctors told her she was tested too late in the cycle to determine it, but that it had likely been COVID-19. She posted about it on Instagram. Her school then complained to the local sheriff. A police Sergeant went to her house and ordered her to delete her posts or he'd arrest her and/or her parents. Sheriff and Sarge are now being sued by the parents -- for nominal damages, but more importantly, for the injunction saying they can't be cited or arrested for posting on Instagram. This is entirely a First Amendment issue. Let's stop this country from becoming the UK. https://www.will-law.org/will-sues-m...ech-violation/ https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/...st/5145087002/ |

That's more like turning the lights on in a crowded theater...

Tests are available in other nations whose leaders decided to address this problem. Those nations are able to recover from this pandemic faster. But doctors repeatedly say they do not understand why those tests are not readily available in America. Both tests are essential to end a pandemic. Testing could have determined if Amyiah had been infected. But not in Wisconsin? That is essential news that all decent (moderate) Americans would understand. Our health care industry is still denied materials required to diminish or eliminate Covid-19. Apparently a Sherriff fears we might learn. Tests would have been available if a government was led by someone with more than a 30 second attention span. Was he a Republican Sherriff? A relevant question now that so many have become extremists. Extremists (ie Fox News) even declared Covid-19 as fake news in March when Amyiah was getting infected. 85% of all problems are directly traceable to top management. Someone with a 30 second attention span should be understand that much. |

As of today over 3,400,000 tests have been performed in America
The young lady in question WAS tested Her test came back negative, and the medical speculation was that she had COVID, but the test was taken after her viral load had already dropped Antibody tests completed development about three weeks ago and are just now coming online |

Many flavors of extremist out there. I really wish folks could join Team America or Team Humanity instead of this Red Blue dichotomy because it's easy to re-elect extremists like Trump and McConnell when Democrats insist all Republicans are evil and treat them that way.

I definitely hear you. I’d just like the country not to burn after we beat these assholes. Watching the Limbaugh, Hannity, Levine posts on Facebook isn’t giving me much hope though.

Frankly, I don't see the country remaining a single political entity much longer. A couple of years, maybe.

Evil is a strong word, but it is close to what you have to call the entire Republican membership in both houses of Congress when they vote in lockstep with President Pennywise and his cabal of an administration.

Facebook says it has removed promotion of anti-quarantine events in California, New Jersey, and Nebraska after consultation with state governments.

To what extent is this an astro-turfing event vs a ground swell of opposition? I know people are frustrated, hell I'm frustrated but too much too soon will kill. Alex Jones is involved so we know it's about being stupid, but I initially assumed it was a Russian amplification thing rather than an ALEC amplification thing. On a bright note there were bible toting end-timers in Endicott yesterday. Everybody hears the message they want to hear I guess.
