Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

"MAHA does not want to save every life. MAHA wants to end the lives of those who can’t survive a world without vaccines, food safety, and hygiene, because MAHA believes that people exist on a spectrum of “weak” to “strong”" www.thegauntlet.news/p/rfk-jrs-ma...

RFK Jr.'s "MAHA" movement doesn't want to eliminate chronic illness. They want to eliminate the chronically ill.
Public health, modern medicine and disease mitigation will suffer under RFK Jr. because he sees sick people- not sickness- as the problem.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Worth noting: while Trump is attempting to destroy Head Start in next year's appropriations, they're not waiting to do it legally. They're also holding up funding right now, and centers are closing because of it.

Head Start funding lags by nearly $1 billion this year, causing some preschool closures
Federal databases show Head Start centers across the U.S. have received nearly $1 billion less in federal funding compared with this time last year.

the main thing I've never understood about politics is the misplaced loyalty. did you know that if a person you voted for does something dumb or bad, you can simply opt not to defend them? it is very easy. be mercurial, like a cat who hasn't been fed in 20 min. make these people earn your love

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people. We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

The theater is the point though, to get the press and regular people to notice, to hopefully sway senators — he said himself at the beginning that he is disrupting the normal process of the senate to show that what’s going on isn’t normal. This is what we have been asking our senators to do.
