A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Hi, immunologist here:
(a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes)
RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation”
That’s NOT how immunology works.
He is an anti-science profiteer.
Start calling him such.

Dear Republicans,
Cutting science budgets has not historically been a Republican thing. For example, Lincoln created the National Academy of Sciences. Eisenhower's term increased the science budget 366%. Gerald Ford, +15%; George H. W. Bush, +30%; George W. Bush, +54%.
Just sayin’.

Not that anyone asked, but during my tenure on the Pentagon’s Defense Innovation Board, under part of Obama-2 and all of Trump-1, we visited Military Bases domestically & abroad.
At no time did any member of the Armed Forces I met say to me: “America needs less science funding.”

Reminder: When billionaires take control of communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.
And when those billionaires justify their business motives by citing “freedom,” what they really seek is freedom from accountability.
