I balled my eyes out election night with the knowledge that RFK Jr would have a position in government. I am not a neutral person when it comes to people with ableist, anti-medicine views who could harm both myself and people I care about.
it’s such a weird conceit of American journalism to enforce the batshit idea that people will only trust us to tell the truth if we ostentatiously lie about our (supposed lack of) personal opinions

It’s important to note this is not and was never about citizenship. It’s about removing diversity and dissent to authoritarian power.

Every man denied due process deserves basic rights because they are human. But remember that they are just the first and no one is safe:

Sexual assault survivors at US colleges will be forced back into live hearings with cross-examination. Alleged perps will be able to ask about victims' prior sexual history to "prove consent." The end of Biden's Title IX rule harms far more than trans students. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
