Still living off the positive vibes and spirit of yesterday’s @50501newyork.bsky.social protest in NYC. But I’m most proud of my 13 year old son who was inspired by the Portland Frogs and went as his own obsession - a Turtle! Thanks to everyone he encountered - from kids on the subway… 🧵1

i will never not be amused by how the conservative world is governed by the kind of “affirmative action” they say happens in mainstream institutions. totally unqualified dipshits are handed the keys to institutions because they say the right thing and have the right look.

So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel.
Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.
