WHAT’S AN AUTOCRAT TO DO WHEN THE RABBLE STOP FEARING THE ‘RONA? Andrew Cuomo Seizes Emergency Powers to Fight Gun Violence ‘Public Health’ Emergency.
TAKING A STAND AGAINST OBJECTIFICATION: Female students go topless to protest gender inequality, public indecency laws. “There were a lot of males who were there ‘supporting’ the event and by supporting I mean taking pictures and gawking. It kind of contradicts what the event is about. The ratio of males to females was strange. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but I feel a good portion were there to see their first pair of breasts in real life. Also, I do not understand why some females who were supporting the event, were topless but covered their nipples. Seemed contradictory for me.”
MEMORY-HOLED: Nation’s Largest Teachers Union Scrubs Website Of Pledge To Teach Critical Race Theory. “Per The Daily Wire’s reporting, the NEA’s original agenda item promised to create a team of staffers dedicated to providing members with information about how to ‘fight back against anti-CRT rhetoric’ and ‘share information with other NEA members as well as their community members.'”
Spoiler: Nothing has changed but the NEA trying to hide what it’s doing.
YOU COULD JUST AS EASILY CALL IT INFINITE TAXPAYER-FUNDED DO-OVERS. Qualified immunity was invented by courts in 1982 and justified by police having to make snap judgments, but has been extended even to college administrators and other bureaucrats. Maybe it’s justifiable for police, but then how the heck did the police handle crime before 1982? It’s way past time for the doctrine to be dialed back or eliminated.
KEVIN DRUM: If you hate the culture wars, blame liberals. “On Thursday I posted a series of charts that all documented a similar theme: Since roughly the year 2000, according to survey data, Democrats have moved significantly to the left on most hot button social issues while Republicans have moved only slightly right. . . . I’ve made this point many times before, and I want to make it again more loudly and more plainly today. It is not conservatives who have turned American politics into a culture war battle. It is liberals. And this shouldn’t come as a surprise: Almost by definition, liberals are the ones pushing for change while conservatives are merely responding to whatever liberals do. More specifically, progressives have been bragging publicly about pushing the Democratic Party leftward since at least 2004—and they’ve succeeded. Now, I’m personally happy about most of this. But that doesn’t blind me to the fact that ‘personally happy’ means nothing in politics. What matters is what the median voter feels, and Democrats have been moving further and further away from the median voter for years.”
MILE HIGH SAN FRANCISICO: Capitol Hill residents fencing off parkways to keep homeless away from properties. “Even with them not camping in front of my house, they stole everything. They went over the fence into my courtyard and got rakes, shovels and hand tools. They also went over the fence across the street and went into a neighbor’s shed and got a brand new bicycle.”
BIBLE IS RACIST. BECAUSE SCIENCE: The now-hilariously mis-named “Scientific American” claims those who deny evolution are white supremacists. No, I am not making that up. That’s what you get when you combine Critical Race Theory (CRT) with a crude caricature of the dominant explanation for human origins.
As The Federalist Kylee Zempel explains:
“If they can convince you not only that your Donald Trump-voting Christian neighbor is a racist but that the Bible itself is the epitome of white supremacy, they can ban it from polite society and ostracize anyone who would defend it. Critical race theory is good. Jesus is bad. Now cough up your hard-earned tax dollars so we can teach that to your kids.”
That’s it in a nutshell (no pun intended). Evolutionists of sound mind, common sense and a genuine commitment to real science should be flooding SA with protests.

TIRED: Cameras on cops.
WIRED: Cameras in classrooms.

HuffPo compares it to 1984, but why are cameras on cops not Orwellian, while cameras in classrooms are? Oh, I think we know.
The study he references is here. But everyone knows that child abuse only matters when priests are doing it.
UPDATE: From the comments: “School districts have been issuing students laptops that have cameras on them that can be turned on remotely by School District employees. If they think that it’s okay for them to observe what’s going on in my home, they can s t f u about me wanting to observe people who I’m paying working in a building that I’m paying for.”

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Burning Churches, Speech Police…Canada Is Getting Creepier. “We’ve seen the use of nebulous ‘hate speech’ laws as a way to issue broad attacks on free speech that doesn’t fit leftist orthodoxy. The hate speech definition is built to expand to fit whatever words or concepts progressives suddenly find offensive. Note: they’re offended by everything conservatives say.”

This happens most of the time when you abandon your principles, but the people who run universities never learn.

JOSH BLACKMAN: Conservative Justices Warn Kavanaugh and Barrett Lack ‘Fortitude.’ “For the first time in a generation, there are six conservative justices on the Supreme Court. In time, this sextet will incrementally push the Court to the right. Yet, three of them are already sounding an alarm. Twice this term, Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch warned that Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett lack backbone.”
