At this point, if nearly ten years later you’re still spending a lot of your time on the internet blaming Bernie Sanders voters for Trump’s win in 2016, then it’s a very good bet that you’re mentally ill. Full stop.

If you don't see it as a moral imperative to oppose the mass deportation of millions of immigrants, I just don't know what to tell you
Democrats should spend exactly zero political capital stopping any Trump deportation efforts.
It is madness to spend capital trying to help people who are no longer a major part of your electoral coalition.

Because Trump keeps insisting that undocumented immigrants are largely responsible for bringing fentanyl into the country, here's my reminder that a large percentage of the traffickers are U.S. citizens.
When Americans Are the Threat at the Border
Many people charged with trafficking in Tucson are U.S. citizens, suffering from the same problems of poverty and addiction that plague the rest of the country.

I wrote about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s various weird ideas about HIV/AIDS, and why they could soon become the rest of the world's problem if he becomes HHS secretary. In the words of one expert I spoke to, "I can't believe we're having this conversation." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
RFK Jr. has made false and dangerous claims about AIDS. That could become a global problem.
