Five public health facts RFK Jr doesn't want you to know:

1. Vaccines work and are safe.
2. Solid fats aren't health foods.
3. Random dead animals you find lying around are not safe to touch (or eat).
4. Methylene blue is a dye, not a miracle cure.
5. Measles is bad for you.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 
3) Donors make a huge profit. 
4) Repeat.

For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

Fascism: I sometimes fear... I sometimes fear that people think that fascism arrives in fancy dress worn by grotesques and monsters as played out in endless re-runs of the Nazis. Fascism arrives as your friend. It will restore your honour, make you feel proud, protect your house, give you a job, clean up the neighbourhood, remind you of how great you once were, clear out the venal and the corrupt, remove anything you feel is unlike you... It doesn't walk in saying, "Our programme means militias, mass imprisonments, transportations, war and persecution." - Michael Rosen

Prescient words from Michael Rosen.

House Republicans released a draft budget that aims to cut $2 trillion in spending.

The programs impacted could include Medicaid, SNAP, and education programs.

Why the cuts? To finance another round of tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations.

It's reverse Robin Hood.

This is Oligarchy. The three richest men in the world have become $196 BILLION richer since Donald Trump was elected.

$196 billion for three men in 99 days.

Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

“Be careful. When a democracy is sick, fascism comes to its bedside, but it is not to inquire about its health.”

Albert Camus

Trump’s disgraceful cabinet picks, knocking it out of the park.

Many are asking: “What can I do now?”

Here’s a revised and expanded list of actions you can take, in rough order of importance. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/more-on-what-you-can-do

If you are a member of Congress, and are not actively working towards ending the madness that is currently happening, you have broken your oath to the constitution and should be removed by your constituents that you swore to represent.

None of this is legal
