He has posted an article on Twitter that was supportive of the anti-vax health policy conference Jay Bhattacharya organized at Stanford against “censorship.”

are people calling you a luddite for being anti-AI? wear it like a badge of honor.
"luddites were totally fine with machines,” says kevin binfield. they confined their attacks to those who used machines in what they called “a fraudulent and deceitful manner” to get around fair labor practices.

for in that case
you would be free

But this is not

just the end of the world
as you knew it,
and so in this case
you are obligated

california could wind up a hawkish islamophobic senator who will expand the surveillance state, gut banking and finance regulation, sabotage efforts at reducing economic inequality, give a blank check to the police, oppose medicare-for-all and accelerate the destruction of the earth. or steve garvey
damn and here i thought adam schiff was just a malignant rent-a-pol in concealer and a thousand-dollar suit. being a huge dumbass just muddies the narrative
File under "Be careful what you wish for". The PAC affiliated with Senate campaign of Rep. Adam Schiff has been boosting fmr Dodger great Steve Garvey (R), hoping to get Garvey (rather than Rep. Katie Porter/Rep. Barbara Lee) into top 2 runoff.
Garvey's now in 1st. Schiff & Porter close for 2nd.

Biden literally implemented Trump's vaccine-only COVID plan, except he also got liberals to stop giving a shit about public health. On top of that, he ended all pandemic aid, refusing to push Congress to restore the eviction moratorium, ending unemployment, and kicking millions off Medicaid.
