i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary, shared photos of himself and his grandchildren frolicking in waters filled with sewer overflow.

Swimming in sewage. Spewing garbage. Sowing cynicism. That’s RFK Jr. alright.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive.

In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him.

Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

This week it’s hard not to despair as we see everything we’ve lost. But public health has always been an act of faith. Faith that incremental changes can make vast differences in the future. So keep speaking up. Keep doing the work. We are the keepers of the seeds. And we will grow again. 💚

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.

When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

More reckless cuts from HHS— CDC’s STD & hepatitis labs shut down, outbreak detection lost, critical testing delayed.

And an extra level of cruelty:

"Animals that were to be used in planned experiments will have to be destroyed. What a waste."

Thanks, Bobby!

Children's Health Defense (CHD), founded by HHS Secretary RFK Jr, has created an imposter webpage that closely mimics a CDC webpage on Autism and Vaccines. It is nefariously seeding disinformation by presenting a seemingly balanced argument on the science supporting and refuting autism and vaccines.

The sudden U.S. cuts left no time for other nations to react, creating an immediate crisis. TB programs are now at risk of collapse, threatening decades of progress. Drug resistance will surge, endangering millions. Urgent action is needed. #TB #GlobalHealth #AMR

Mahmoud Khalil, the Palestinian activist who was wrongfully detained by ICE, has yet to be located in an ICE facility.

This should be setting off alarm bells. This is Gestapo behavior.
UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

The next flu season is already shaping up to be catastrophic.
NEWS

The FDA, which operates under the authority of Robert Kennedy Jr., canceled the meeting to discuss next year’s flu vaccines.

This could interfere with or delay production of flu vaccines.

86 children and 19,000 adults have died from flu this season.

About 430,000 people were hospitalized.
F.D.A. Cancels Meeting of Vaccine Experts Scheduled to Advise on Flu Shots (Gift Article)
The cancellation plays into fears among scientists who worry that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will use his position as health secretary to sow doubts about vaccines.
