After reading through the descriptions of the autism-related research projects that were cut, I was struck by how complicated the science is — especially when compared to the simple (and debunked) theory that vaccines cause autism. www.propublica.org/article/rfk-...

RFK Jr. is over on Twitter telling everyone to hit the gym on the weekends. IDK it’s almost like he doesn’t know or care that: Many Americans don’t have weekends off Many Americans can’t afford gym fees Many Americans don’t have a safe place to exercise

TF? I can't imagine ICE is going to find enough illegals tied to Medicaid to make this level of access worth it. So, what is it they're really after here? Are disabled Americans the next round of captures? We welcome any insight/reassurance from those in the know. 🫤

🧵Take it from moms. Many adults are still in the sandbox, powered by playground politics. Like a narcissist, a bully requires reinforcement. A supporting cast of players, if you will. The bully is the finish line. The enablers are the starting point. Destabilize the enablers. Weaken the bully.👇
