Stupid! If he thinks windmills are bad, just look at what oil spills do! They kill much more than just a few birds, & windmills don’t actually killing birds! They don’t make noise, don’t cause cancer & yes, you can save the energy in a battery & use it when the wind isn’t blowing!

So the next time you buy something at the grocery store that makes you sick, this is why. This is who to blame, Trump administration 100%. They don’t care about anything but money.
As part of the Trump overhaul, USDA has terminated more than 15,000 employees — close to 15% of its workforce —including more than 1,300 from the agency's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), leaving American agriculture vulnerable and bird flu rampant.

Exodus of USDA veterinarians and others drives fears that U.S. farms are at risk
More than a thousand people who worked to keep American agriculture free of pests and disease have left the federal workforce in President Trump's massive government downsizing.

Capitalism & ableism created a society where we blame disabled people for being sick.
Where we judge people based on their economic contributions, treating them like cogs in a machine.
Where we refuse to provide the most basic supports to the most vulnerable, instead insisting they 'try harder':

Why Do We Undervalue the Lives of Disabled People?
Ableism is why. Capitalism is why. A 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps' mentality is why. We can and must do better, and it starts with a commitment to stop debating a person's worth.

Disabled people are not expendable
We aren’t “less than”
We aren’t “getting a free ride”
Being chronically ill is not like being on vacation
Receiving benefits or any type of support is not easy
The system is designed to dehumanize, discourage & punish
We need support, understanding & allies

Disabled people have been pleading with folks to show solidarity for years.
We saw the rising tide of eugenics the moment everyone declared Covid over & decided to leave us by the wayside.
Pandemics give rise to fascism. What we’re seeing is the result of allowing disabled folks to be left behind

When you become disabled or chronically ill, people abandon you.
Most people have an internal clock. If you’re not “better” by the time their patience runs out, they disappear.
If we can’t trust our loved ones to stick around, what hope do we have with elected officials or the general public?

Here's the opening, folks. Good work for Durbin cracking it open. No ALS research cuts, you say? Oh dear.
DURBIN: How can we give hope to people across the country who are suffering from so many diseases when our government is cutting back on that research?
RFK Jr: I do not know about any cuts to ALS research
D: I just read them to you!
R: I didn't know about them until you told me about them

If we could admit the following, it would save many lives:

COVID is not over
COVID is a social justice issue & everyone deserves access to vaccines, respirators and clean air
COVID can impact everyone, not “only the vulnerable”
Lastly, the “vulnerable” deserve protection too
