RFK Jr. wants people to get sick. He wants them to get sick and he thinks it is a good thing if they die, since those who live will have "natural immunity" and emerge stronger and fitter.

They really should be explicit in the headline that the rise in South Asian hate rhetoric is stemming directly from the united states government.
Screenshot from article: “A recent example came last week when the Department of Homeland Security posted an image on social media depicting an Indian man with the words "Get off our roads, you don't know how to drive Mr. Singh."”

In a bitter May runoff, Texas Republicans nominated Bo French, an investor with only the vaguest glimmer of industry experience and a mostly irrelevant and racist political program that calls for deporting 100 million people, purging the nation of Muslims, and emulating a defunct apartheid state.

Bo French sent a tweet so racist, his own party finally took notice. It's just the tip of the iceberg.
How a regulatory agency you've never heard of became a test case for Republican extremism.
