Toiling in obscurity
The dumb "for what?" would be bad enough.

But the smirk makes my blood boil. Dead people or not, it's all a game for him.

I repost stuff like this a lot and you may think I’m beating a dead horse.

I’d rather have a dead horse than dead kids.

Impeach RFK Jr. Now.
• A doc sued for prescribing a debunked autism therapy
• A man who says vaccines are “poisoning children”
• A woman boosting autism "treatments" using stem cells from rabbits

This is not a QAnon conference line-up, it is the people now guiding US autism research

RFK Jr.’s Picks for a Key Autism Panel Include Advocates for Bizarre Theories
Among those Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently named to a federal autism committee are people who tout dangerous treatments and say vaccine manufacturers are “poisoning children.”

Amongst other things, this again highlights the core point about due process. It’s bad enough to be in a “show me your papers” situation, but your precious citizen/non-citizen, “legal”/“illegal” distinctions are meaningless when you can’t prove anything to authorities because they don’t give a shit.

BASH: Is this measles outbreak a consequence of the administration undermining support for vaccines?

DR OZ: I don't believe so. Secretary Kennedy has been advocating for measles vaccines

My assumption is that Ackman doesn’t actually believe what Wolf is posting.

But he believes by amplifying batshit conspiracy theories, he can get *others* to believe it and undermine Mamdani’s support

Which…yeah, good luck with that

I‘ve argued with relatives who are convinced there are “no-go zones where even the police won’t go.”

And no amount of “I was there last week, it’s nothing like that” will convince them

"For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career...cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism." (gift link)

I am usually a calm person

But I swear, if the Wegmans self checkout machine tells me one more time,

to “Please remove the unscanned item from the bagging area”

— WHEN THERE’S NOTHING THERE —

I may snap. I may lose it.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
