    U.S. anti-discrimination and civil-rights laws which guarantee individual equality are important. They must be maintained as-is, and not altered or repealed. - Equality, not "equity" - Sex, not "gender" - Race, color, religion & national origin, not "marginalized" victim groups

    Understand that if you keep doing this, they will likely circulate your photo among their comrades so that you are immediately recognized & blocked, with regular attempts to damage your gear or assault you. And the police will do nothing to prevent that or arrest them if they do.

    Before you hand over your iPhone to anybody, just squeeze it - press & hold the power button and one of the volume buttons - for a few seconds, and ALL biometrics will be disabled, requiring a PIN to unlock the phone.

    You thought the treatment of folks going bare-faced in 2020 was intense? Wait until you see how unvaccinated people still wearing a mask - in good faith and according to CDC guidelines - are ostracized as dangerous pariahs in 2021.

    THE story of 2022 will be the public’s total loss of trust in nearly every major institution - government, NGO, mass media, mega-corporation, health care, activism & academia - of this country and the world.
