“This is but another cannon shot at a load-bearing wall in the U.S. vaccination program”.
I appreciated speaking with HuffPost today about RFK Jr. changing the CDC’s vaccine recommendations.
I also said that I do not believe these changes reflect guidance from expert CDC scientists.

With Flu Rates Soaring, Why Did RFK’s CDC Stop Recommending The Vaccine For Kids?
"There is no scientific evidence supporting the change in recommendations,” one expert told HuffPost.

I am pleased to announce that I have commandeered my neighbor's home. This home will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, to ensure it is used to benefit my neighbor and me! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The Trump Admin has repeatedly demonstrated to allies around the globe that US security guarantees mean nothing as long as Trump is president. He won’t even agree to abide by the NATO charter, so how can he be trusted to honor any Ukraine deal.

Immigration is being used as a proxy for race.
Notice how they are desperate to encourage white immigrants from South Africa.
Also, they realized that immigration hysteria was a convenient political cudgel.
Like using the word “woke”.
Vague enough to apply to whatever the listener dislikes.

It’s pretty wild that the most rabidly anti-immigrant administration in recent memory is comprised of a President married to an immigrant, a VP married to the daughter of immigrants, an assistant AG in charge of Civil Rights who’s an immigrant (Dhillon), & it was all funded by an immigrant (Musk).

Ismael Ayala-Uribe came to the US at 4 yrs old & worked down the street from my parents house where he was detained in an immigration sweep. He died in ICE custody from lack of medical care.
This man died from being at the wrong place at the wrong time because of #IceLawlessness, cruelty & racism.

I would argue that Trump is the greatest threat to our economy, security, and ways of life. It's not immigrants, Muslims, people of color, women, trans people, or LGB people... It's Trump and those who share his warped and detached from reality point of view.

ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.
