Wakefield’s research was fraudulent. It wasn’t a matter of debate or interpretation, he made shit up and lost his license as a result. Fuck RFK Jr. for trying to validate him. And where are Congressional Dems on this? Where’s the bill to impeach RFK Jr.?
GOP Sen. Ron Johnson is crowing about Robert Kennedy Jr.’s CDC pushing debunked vaccine misinformation.

“Time to apologize to Dr. Andrew Wakefield and all the others who were maligned and vilified for simply asking the right questions,” he says.

Wakefield’s paper was *fraudulent.*

You were incredible, Alice Wong, and it was a blessing to have collaborated with you on projects, to have read your words and to have heard your voice, as full of life and passion and joy and rage as it was.

You made a difference—so much of a difference.

Rest always in peace, and always in power.

I made new block prints today. ☺️ I’m learning LESS IS MORE when it comes to ink.

I hand drew this “font” from scratch (Not a font, but not going to get into that right now.), hand carved it, hand inked it, hand printed it. 🎉

RFK is undoing human subjects protections so he can conduct placebo trials of vaccines. That means infecting people knowingly. I wonder who will “volunteer” for these trials? If history is any guide, a lot of incarcerated and other powerless people.
Dismantling the Institutional Review Board (IRB), that oversees all human subjects research, is bad. Really bad.
The entire HR department at the CDC is gone. Everyone at the IRB, which makes sure studies are conducted ethically and rigorously, and the ethics office, which oversee conflicts of interest for CDC leaders and advisory committee members, were also let go.

this is the list of ideological identifiers laid out in the NSPM-7 that would predict violence, and are all of course, incredibly reasonable positions or just ridiculous framing, like “extremism on gender” which is just being pro-trans:

"Since this new administration took office, the unemployment rate for people with disabilities has increased at triple the normal rate of unemployment."
For National Disability Employment Awareness Month at @motherjones.com, I spoke to four disabled federal workers who were laid off about how their old jobs were very accessible—and what the federal government loses out on by having fewer disabled employees. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
The human costs of Trump's war on government
For many disabled workers, federal jobs were decent, human, and accommodating: everything the president hates.

Well, Newsom has a great opportunity to help homeless trans people right now by signing a bill that would help combat anti-LGBTQ discrimination in state homelessness programs that we reported on, AB 678!

And many other bills that help all trans people. Go yell at him!

Everyone was in agreement that they did not believe
in Hell anymore per se. Was it even mentioned in the
Bible after all? But also that they nevertheless wished
that it were in fact real. If only for the sake of these
goddamned bastards.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. How corrosive it is that public figures are--more and more shamelessly--ripping the copper wiring out of the walls. Integrity is for suckers. Abusing power is fun. Caring about anything bigger than yourself is lame. An elite class of evil toddlers
I continue to think that one of the reasons this country is falling apart is the wholesale abandonment of public virtue as a broadly shared aspiration. Or even something people should be embarrassed about if they don’t have it.
Fuckin yikes, man
