A detainee or inmate in the care of the state is the responsibility of the state. Of all of us. Vaccinate the most vulnerable first and those who look over them. This isn’t complicated unless you’re a monster. We all matter or none of us do isn’t convenient. It’s the truth.

Put it this way: if you’re mad that a bad person gets medical care, then don’t put them in your care. This isn’t semantics or a card trick. They’re in our care. OUR CARE. That they are horrible people has nothing to do with it. In fact it’s the point of it. Care for the least.

I’m so tired of the scary terrorist talk cuz I’ve seen scary terrorists. Ohhhhhh. Just like I now see scary murderers or shooters. Ohhhhhhh. Don’t measure yourself by the standards of their crimes. If you put cuffs on someone, they’re you’re responsibility. Full stop.

We always look for the shortcuts. There are none. We can’t shirk these obligations.

No one understands until they’re getting their mug shot that arrest warrant and at-the-scene arrests are 51% probable cause. You wanna die cuz 51%? Care for those in our care. Vaccinate the vulnerable. At every stage. I’m weary of tired tattoos setting policy.

And then after conviction, ESPECIALLY after conviction, we the state need to care for those we incarcerate. And by the way, those in GITMO haven’t have a trial but they’re scary monsters so let’s jettison our humanity. Those farthest from evil are the most adamant about it
