Check out this phenomenal paper outlining the artifice of framing anti-queer and anti-abortion conservatism under the language of "parental rights" (Ziegler et al, 2023). papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
"Politicians and activists invoking parental rights rely on a tactic we call erosion by misdirection. Most simply, erosion by misdirection involves an indirect attack on an existing right, one that seeks to undermine existing protections and stymie future progress, all while directing attention away from the liberty in question. In some ways, erosion by misdirection resembles other relatively well-studied social movement strategies. "

I know we all know this but just a reminder, get ALL the free tests your household is owed, every time, even if you still have a stockpile because it’s one of the few direct tools we have to communicate to the government that WE STILL NEED FREE TESTS and there’s still high demand for COVID resources
