The ethos behind Kennedy’s Make America Healthy Again movement blames individual people for their chronic diseases and links Medicaid users’ value to their economic productivity.
"The reality is that more and more people are becoming chronically ill through Long Covid and other health conditions that Covid can trigger, many of whom can’t work the required half-time—80 hours per month—and some of whom can’t work at all."
This. Is. Awesome.
Happy Labor Day!
Yeah he's not beating the allegations
I love this guy
"'I asked a man in prison once how he happened to be there and he said he had stolen a pair of shoes. I told him if he had stolen a railroad he would be a United States Senator.'"
Here's the response from Paul Bryant, the Black veteran and lawyer whom the govt arrested in part bc he had a legal weapon in DC, to USG attempt to get him detained. It leans heavily into the lack of Body Cam proving he shoulder checked some Guardsmen. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If you're anti-vaccine, you're anti-science, and you're anti-life. GTF out of the way. You're taking away people's right to protect themselves from death, disease, and sequelae. Your voice has no place in public discourse.
Read every banned book you can get your hands on. Give them as gifts. Quote from them every day.
RFK jr's cult beliefs in no way supersedes anyone's right to prevent death or disease in their self or their family. Full Stop.
I remember early November 2023. I think I was the first person on US mainstream media, while at MSNBC/Peacock, to say the G-word on TV. On my show. It was seen as hugely controversial then. It's controversial no longer. It's undeniable, irrefutable, the consensus view.
We want to give a big shout-out to Palm Beach Gardens, New York City, Boston, Los Angeles, Houston, Albuquerque, Cleveland, and Greensboro! Thank you for showing up today and making your voices heard! 💚✊

RFK jr wants to throw millions of Americans into his anti-science cult volcano. We give him our collective middle finger instead.
Every time RFK jr speaks the word "science", he must be asked to recite a detailed summary of the scientific method. He won't be able to answer.

🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump said in a weekend social media post he plans to issue an executive order to impose voter ID requirements. And he reiterated his desire to ban mail voting. The president lacks the authority to take either step. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

"To pretend that her death deserves the same recognition as that young soldier at the gate is obscene. It is a betrayal of the oath she once swore and a desecration of the sacrifice made by so many who kept faith with theirs."

Six years ago today, August 31, 2019, Brooklyn Center Police officers fatally shot Kobe Heisler-Dimock, an unarmed 21-year-old autistic man, as they responded to a mental crisis call. Kobe's mother, Amity, said her son “was never a threat to anybody but himself” when the police killed him. 🧵
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4
Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm. Yet another sign of a cover-up.
Manatee drinking water running off a boat. Manatees often take advantage of running fresh water, but they don't need people to give them water any more than they need people to feed them, it's also illegal. #nature #animals #florida #wildlife #manatee #cute
Don't Panic! It's not a fat shark, it's just a manatee swimming by people at the beach in Florida. The video was taken a couple days ago near Redington Beach. #nature #ocean #animals #florida #wildlife #awesome
Stalking fish in shallow water along the beach. This dolphin startled a few people as it was hunting fish using a technique called fish kicking. Fish kicking is when a dolphin hits a fish with its tail to stun it. #beach #nature #ocean #florida #animals #wildlife

I didn’t really need more evidence that RFK Jr is nuts and delusional.
A 1941 WPA road gang of migrant workers in New Mexico, many of whom were simultaneously working as farm laborers. Trump would have deported all of them.
Today is the first day of public trading for Trump’s crypto scam.
Right-wing Daily Caller just released a transcript of an interview they did with Trump last week. This was part of it.
I know it's cliche at this point..... but imagine ANY OTHER American politician in the history of America making this statement on the record, that the American congres is owned by a foreign nation.
He’s lucky there’s no consequences for anything he says because a politician could get in trouble for saying “Congress is controlled by Israel!”
Happy Labor Day! California is proud to be ranked the #1 state for workers. We’re leading the nation with strong wage standards, worker protections, and labor rights that make our communities, businesses, and families stronger.

Get vaccinated while you still can.
The long term data on hepatitis B vaccination shows it reduces the incidence of liver cancer by 84% and death from liver disease by 70%. This comes from a large cluster RCT in which entire towns were randomly selected to give the hepatitis B vaccine to all newborns.
Reminder that there are multiple vaccines already out there that reduce your kids' chances of multiple types of cancers (and some people want you to believe this is bad!) www.scientificdiscovery.dev/p/6-vaccines...

This is Lacey yesterday, wondering why I was leaving the back yard on a beautiful day.
Russia is a terrorist state, and that's the team Trump wants to play on.
So, terrorist Russia, in its escalation, is suspected of GPS jamming the plane carrying the EU chief.

Kressly: I expect in the next couple of weeks, this is going to get worse. You’re going to hear from the same administrative people who have gutted the expertise needed to promote child health — pushing false narratives like, “we need to look at the link between vaccines and autism.” That is a lie.
IT’S ALL NATIVE LAND!
The people are STILL WAITING!!!!
