I am not an entrepreneurial man by nature but if I were I’d sell kites with “TRUMP SUCKS” written on them over by the Washington Monument and I’d make a lot of money and I’d be doing Good Trouble.

Today Trump is dismissing as a "hoax" the existential threat posed by climate change. Yesterday he promoted the myth that vaccines cause autism. It's almost as if he's out there trying to underscore the central thesis of our ( @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social and my) new book #ScienceUnderSiege:
