It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books.

It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse.

RFK Jr is a nutjob, wacko conspiracy theorist. Everyone knows that. The fact that he’s in such a position of power is absolutely outrageous.
RFK Jr. stunned FDA staff Friday with a 40-minute tirade featuring a disability slur, the “deep state” conspiracy theory, and accusations that agency employees were becoming a “sock puppet” for the industries they regulate.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie).

Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development
CDC denies help for lead poisoning in Milwaukee schools due to layoffs
The CDC rejected a request for help "due to the complete loss" of their lead poisoning experts.

A state judge in Idaho — which has one of the strictest abortion bans in the nation — appeared to slightly broaden access to abortion there on Friday. In situations where a mother faces risk of death, the ruling allows for abortions even when death isn’t imminent.
