I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

RFK Jr is saying that "autism is destroying our kids." Autism didn't destroy me, but ableism almost did, and eugenics/the mainstreaming of disinformation certainly threaten to.

this is what "small government" is.

"big government" is preventing plane crashes and having the resources to respond to one when it happens.

"small government" is the guy from real world leading the response team while the president blames black people for plane crashes

act accordingly

Feeling "insulted and confused" is the point. I highly recommend folks revisit some of the secret speeches and recorded conversations with Russ Vought from a few months ago.

As if stripping away access to vaccines weren’t bad enough, don’t forget that RFK Jr. also wants to come for our psychiatric and behavioral meds as a bonus 🫠

It’s eugenics all the way down

Kind, good, happy, gentlemanly, secure people never go Nazi. They may be the gentle philosopher whose name is in the Blue Book, or Bill from City College to whom democracy gave a chance to design airplanes-you'll never make Nazis out of them. But the frustrated and humiliated intellectual, the rich and scared speculator, the spoiled son, the labor tyrant, the fellow who has achieved success by smelling out the wind of success-they would all go Nazi in a crisis.

This. This is what overthrew the elite enslavers in the 1859s and the robber barons in the 1890s. We need these new papers everywhere.

There are currently 67,102 studies registered at clinicaltrials.gov that are (well, were, probably, until this week) actively recruiting participants, and 20,690 studies that are active but not recruiting right now. This is SO many people we're talking about.

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.
