"His determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy" sounds awfully heroic and noble -- like Galileo
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

Donald Trump, a victim of political violence himself, just threatened to “hang” Democratic Members of Congress—all who served our country. Every single American, especially elected Republicans, must condemn this horrific incitement of violence immediately.

the Harvard Crimson called Epstein a “child sex offender” while the Chronicle of Higher Ed called him a “disgraced financier” and that pretty much sums up where we are with higher ed journalism

Virtually no one wants Diet Hate.

You don't win over bigots by offering them a light version. You just add credence to bigoted lies, exaggerations, and scapegoating while turning off voters who don't want that.

We really need to spread the word. Chicago did a great job with the whistle warnings and cameras up campaign. The citizen videos were used in court. Form a crowd stay loud! Know your rights!
Hopefully they take some lessons from the resistance in Chicago. Whistles and filming everything is important.

Form a Crowd
Stay Loud

The cruelty competition:

This is what we are witnessing here. Who can win votes by being seen to be more cruel to a bunch of generally poor and vulnerable people?

It’s heartless and regressive strategy that is eventually most cruel to the heart of this nation.

“A federal judge is planning to release on bond hundreds of people who have been detained by federal immigration agents in Chicago since June.”

I also wonder how many were deported so quickly they never had a chance to fight it.
Hundreds Previously Detained By ICE Could Be Released By Judge Under New Order
The order could allow hundreds of immigrants to return home while the court reviews whether their arrests were unlawful.

With Zohran Mamdani's inspiring victory, Republicans are yet again fearmongering about "socialism."

But conservatives always yell “socialism” at every initiative designed to help people.

It's nothing more than an old scare tactic. https://youtu.be/xq02yuY4wDQ?si=akvbkf8GSClBEHLt
