I immediately think anyone is an idiot who comments “run for president” to a nice liberal without a politics background who makes a snappy comment you happen to like. No your favorite comedian shouldn’t be president. Haven’t you learned ANYTHING in the last ten years abt expertise being important?!

There is no attitude for which legacy journalists are more often rewarded by their bosses than "Everybody needs to calm down." It is a preening announcement that you are the adult in the room, immune from emotion or overreaction or "hysteria." And it is the worst imaginable priority for this era. >

If this makes you mad, you should harass your House Representative. Tell them to co-sponsor the articles of impeachment.
Tag their accounts, flood their website, call their DC and district offices, email them, share the @standupforscience.bsky.social petition, call your local news, write an op-ed.

RFK Jr. has been busy this week:
- Defunded the AAP for criticizing him
- Funded an anti-vax group from Denmark to conduct an unethical Hep B study in Guinea Bissau
- Made anti-science policy that is going to deeply harm trans kids
- Instructed the CDC to stop recommending vaccines

Today I received FOUR death notifications for people in ICE custody. That's 30 deaths since Trump took office. It's appalling & unacceptable.
ICE is required—by law—to ensure detainees are safe & their basic needs are met. It's clear this isn't the case. We NEED answers.

Ibuprofen is very literally the ONLY thing that helps my chronic pain. It is my lifeline.
They say this shit because they want to eliminate all disabled and chronically ill people from the face of the earth and a great way to do that is to strip us of all of the medications that help us survive.
