As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

I feel very strongly that we must use the next three years to build a new opposition movement. I tried to lay out my reasons and what I think we need to do to make it happen.

Why has “banana republic” become the favorite new phrase? I don’t think it’s an accurate description. Is it because people are afraid to say “authoritarian regime” or “dictatorship”?

Our body makes 425,000 times MORE formaldehyde per day than what might be in a vaccine.
Levels of formaldehyde in:
• Your body at any time
• A pear
• A vaccine
Aren’t harmful.
We need context & nuance when discussing science, not fearmongering.

Toxicology principle that needs to be mainstream:
The dose makes the poison.
That’s true of everything. Water. Oxygen. Vitamin A. Vitamin D. Aspartame. Formaldehyde.
A single pear contains 120 times MORE formaldehyde than what might be in a vaccine.
