Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.
And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

I wrote about the slashing of the recommended vaccine schedule for children for @vanityfair.com because I think it's too tempting to read RFK as being off in his own wacky "wellness" world. In fact, his attacks on public health are an integral part of Trump's overall project.
RFK’s anti-vaccine project—part and parcel with the broader Trump agenda's ICE raids and cuts to health care subsidies and food stamps—is a program that seeks to completely overhaul the American population and redefine who gets to be an American, as well as who deserves health and safety
RFK Jr.’s Eugenics-Coded Crusade
Survival of the fittest—a concept that’s been twisted and abused since its birth—could be a Trump administration motto.
