If we had a truth and reconciliation committee for every fuckup of the governments we’d be neck deep in them. That would solve a lot wouldn’t it. You know how we avoid the mistakes of the COVID response?? Make the investments in public health infrastructure that are required INSTEAD of waiting for the next one - which is coming. Good luck with that. We’re too busy investigating laptops and climate change to worry about what absolutely will happen way before Bangladesh gets drowned out.

Sure - and regretted using that example as soon as I posted - my clumsy attempt at coming up with authoritarian and progressive projects / should have used another example of progressive overreach - take your pick

Oklahoma teaching the Tulsa massacre while saying race was not a factor seems like an authoritarian move.

No Progressives in sight.
