This is an irresponsibly favorable profile of RFK Jr, painting him as a vaccine skeptic rather than what he is: fervently anti-vaccine. Whether the reporter caved to pressure from RFK Jr or is so ignorant of science he doesn’t understand how many will come to harm bc of him, this is shameful. +

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.
