Um. "Yoni steamer". 1. I did not know steamed cootches were a thing. 2. Where does Hello Kitty come in here?

So: 2 dead kids; autopsy findings "consistent w/suffocation or smothering", defense lawyer who treated his covid w/ ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine; Kennedy's Children's Health Defense and Kirsch's money on the scene; in Idaho, w/some of the lowest vax rates in the US. This should go well.🤦🏼‍♀️ 3/3

This from the @nytimes.com is an appalling choice in a news story. One can vote for a millionaires tax out of resentment, sure. Or a sense of fairness. Or awareness that a K-shaped economy is unsustainable, a genuine danger to the country. Opinion as lede makes the whole story suspect.
Voters in Washington State will soon be asked to decide which they resent more: rich people or new taxes.
