Nuremberg 2.0 is required. Kidnapping children of any kind, for any reason, under any pretext is evil and wrong. No one needs an explanation, because we just understand this as human beings. You listening 2028? We demand justice. Not "reform," not "training." Justice.

People never really change. Somewhere in the vastness of time and space there is a Chinese peasant whose asshole ruler failed to maintain the irrigation infrastructure that keeps their family alive and I feel the same thing they felt then. Things are *disordered* in a way that we cannot tolerate.

They're really trying to. It's why there is so much discrepancy between Pennsylvania's state data and what the CDC is reporting.

I haven't seen any data, but the anecdotes are that a large number of Amish just didn't get around to it. They're not opposed to vaccines, they just don't take the time to get them. And because they don't attend public schools, nobody follows up.

HELL YEAH GET EM
Statement from Mayor Cantelmo on Campus Sexual Violence & Future Community Safety
Late last week, I learned of the heinous and sickening allegations made against the Cornell students who, according to a former undergraduate student identified as Jane Doc, drugged and brutally raped her at the Chi Phi fraternity house. Despite the severity of these crimes, Cornell University administrators and police failed to contact or coordinate any response with the Ithaca Police Department. Furthermore, the University failed to hold the perpetrators to account. This is a miscarriage of justice and continues to pose a significant threat to students and residents who may be victimized at unsafe and under-monitored on- or off-campus student events.
Given this appalling response from university administration, I have no choice but to declare a new policy directive and corresponding Common Council resolution, implementing an immediate moratorium on all student event and special event permits, including, but not limited to Greek life and other student group gatherings, until such time that the University conducts an accounting of its protocols to prevent and prosecute crimes of sexual violence and publicly releases new standards and practices to keep our community safe.

37 more wounded troops. Added quietly. No explanation. Here's the No B.S. truth: when anyone (a vendor, a CEO, a government) revises the numbers without telling you why, the silence IS the message. 861 wounded. Their families deserve the full story.

If executive branch creates a system so that people under government control can be located and then just stops listing some people in that system — despite their still being under government control — that should be a five-alarm fire for the other branches, the states, and the public.
