Important piece on how well-funded campaigns from libertarian forces have stripped public health officials of their powers through lawsuits and legislation, despite majority support for public health measures. It's shameful how the left hasn't fought back.

@luckytran I get so tired of it. We talk about it, make memes, even write books and make documentaries. But do we actually accomplish anything? We know Fox is sunsidized by our cable payments, but we don't want to miss our show. We know Walgreens stopped selling Plan B, but they are open 24 hours and right across the street. We know Home Depot and Hobby Lobby gave money to the Trump campain, but the "Live,Laugh,Love" sign would look great in the hallway.
It's as though we'd rather die than be inconvenienced. If we don't start getting motivated, the Nazis are going to win. And then everyone will be like "oh who could have seen that coming?"
