James Talarico: The only minority destroying America is the billionaires.

Trans people aren't taking away our healthcare.

Muslims aren't defunding our schools.

Immigrants aren't cutting taxes for themselves and their rich friends.

We are focused on the wrong 1%.

The EU was created in by people who lived through WWII and saw political and economic integration as a means to bringing peace and stability to the continent.

It is being opposed by Putin, Musk and the others who support Neo Nazis in Europe.

41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.

America First? RFK Jr is gutting our medical supremacy in the world by gutting science, gutting vaccines, gutting cutting edge research, gutting all the scientific evidence that supports good health and the wellbeing of our people. Decades of research and accomplishments. America First? Nope!

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

Liver cancer prevention in children. That is what RFK Jr trying to "scale back on" today.

He is a monster.
Today is the start of 2 days of meetings of RFK Jr.'s ACIP, where vaccines skeptics outnumber actual scientists and medial experts. Their target: the Hep B vaccine, which has a ~90-98% (after 3 doses) effectiveness rate in preventing infection for up to 30 yrs.

Every woman knows that moment: when the men in the room don’t see you as an equal, not even fully human. Yet, we smile, nod, swallow it. Because calling it out makes us “too sensitive.” I say, f*ck that sh*t. It’s not harmless. It’s the culture. And we’re done.
