Hi, immunologist here:
(a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes)
RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation”
That’s NOT how immunology works.
He is an anti-science profiteer.
Start calling him such.

As DC was taken over by Trump’s secret police, where were congressional Democrats? They weren’t in DC and some weren’t even in the US.
Instead of fighting back against the authoritarian takeover here at home, 22 House “Democrats” were being spoon-fed lies about Gaza on a trip paid for by AIPAC.

THIS IS WHAT FASCISM LOOKS LIKE:
Disabled Medicaid activists in wheelchairs were just ZIP-TIED and ARRESTED by Capitol Police for protesting inside the Russell Senate Office Building.
Their banner was ripped from their hands. They were fighting for healthcare—and got handcuffs instead.

The at home assassination of a state lawmaker should be getting a bigger reaction from the President than someone throwing a rock at a Tesla dealership.

Just a few weeks ago people were pitching Cory Booker as a front runner for the 2028 Dem presidential nomination.
Tonight he was the only Senate Dem to vote to confirm Jared Kushner’s convict dad as ambassador to France.
Sheesh.

So many videos are circulating of ICE agents acting with cruelty and aggression. Behavior that eerily mirrors the “domestic terrorism” they claim to oppose. No one is forcing them to act this way; it’s a choice.

Not only is this regime coming for medication abortion (far safer than pregnancy and birth), they’re not even pretending there’s any legitimate science behind it.

Senate votes to overturn EPA rule that limits 7 hazardous air pollutants

Does no one remember the Swill Milk Scandal? 8000 babies died in New York State in one year. EIGHT THOUSAND BABIES.
They don't want us to learn history. Or science. Then it's easier to get away with cutting consumer protections to increase their profit margins by selling contaminated food.

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.
