Never before in U.S. history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next.
This is dictatorship.

When you lie about your credentials, your drinking, and your leaking of classified war plans, why would anyone trust you about the air strikes?

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets?
I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

🚨🚨 US TRADE DEFICIT SURGES
The Commerce Department's Census Bureau on Thursday reported that the international trade in goods increased by about 11 percent in May as exports decreased while imports remained relatively unchanged — a sign that Trump's tariff strategy has been a colossal failure.

US trade deficit surges despite Donald Trump's tariffs

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.
Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.
Their inaction is deadly.

It’s an unrelenting 24/7 fight to get your basic needs met. You’re forced into legislated poverty & expected to grovel for what little help the system will give
There’s nothing easy about it & we need more support

This isn’t the first time RFK Jr has been at the forefront of preventable deaths.
In Samoa, 2 children died after a nurse incorrectly added muscle relaxant to measles vaccine.
RFK Jr swooped in & preyed on the fear of parents in the region. Vaccine rates plummeted, and more than 80 children died

Experts saw Samoa's plunging vaccination rates as a crisis. RFK Jr. saw an opportunity.
New details show how Robert F. Kennedy Jr., then chair of an anti-vaccine group and now Trump’s pick for health secretary, sought to exploit a deadly vaccine accident.

The “covid is only a threat to the vulnerable” narrative primed the pump for the eugenics movement we’re seeing now.
It conditioned people to see the disabled & vulnerable as acceptable losses. People who were probably going to “die anyways”.
It paved the way for fascism.

No one plans to become chronically ill. It’s not something people expect will happen, in fact most folks believe they will be the exception should disability ever befall them.
They will “try harder” and overcome. They will find help where the rest of us have failed.
It doesn’t work like that.

If we can safely prevent death & disability through a vaccine like the MMR, and we CHOOSE not to, what does that say about us?
We vaccinate to protect the most vulnerable.
Kids can’t make the choice for themselves, they’re relying on the adults to protect them.
Get your vaccines. They save lives

There is zero reason why anyone should die of measles ... because there's an effective and safe vaccine and has been for decades.
RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated.
“Only very sick kids should die from measles.”
No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die.
Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!
