RFK Jr, who makes a HUGE profit from suing vaccine manufacturers & from selling kooky anti-vaxx books, on top of the $500k a year he was getting from a very extreme anti-vaccine, anti-science group, is out there arguing that, um, pediatricians believe in vaccination because it makes them money 🤯

Yeah, we need to differentiate between politicians who are merely bad vs those who are criminal. Cheney was bad. Trump and MAGA are criminal.

I mean, it’s an incentive thing right now companies, even ones who aren’t ideologically aligned with the GOP, do believe the GOP will fuck them over for not going along and they don’t believe Dems will impose consequences for that you’ve gotta change that, executives need to think twice

Again, let's just stop & remember that age-based legal restrictions on access to social media/online services are a bad idea & infringe the rights of young people to speak, access information and arts & culture, find community and play. Then look at the madness involved in trying to make them work.

Essential, brilliant reporting by @by-cjewett.bsky.social It's TERRIFYING: MAHA folks are INVESTIGATING pediatricians, who are some of the lowest paid docs in the professions, for vaccinating kids It's part of a 20-year anti-vaxx campaign by RFK Jr "that some of his political allies have joined"

We are now, without a doubt, the greatest kleptocracy the world has ever known. By virtue of Donald Trump and the Republican Party promising to hate and abuse those people a nation of angry rubes wants to hate and abuse, they have lifted the national wallet and handed it back to the rubes, empty.

Trump’s ballroom must be instantly torn down for rule of law, fire code hazards, damnatio memoriae, and symbolic reassertion that We the People are sovereign. But also clearly for national security. Like the bribe plane from Qatar, we know foreign interests are involved but don’t know all they did.

Trump banning media outlets from the WH over their coverage is unlikely to affect their reporting much, but it is yet another example of how the right wing definition of “free speech” is that they can say what they want and you can say what they want.
