yep! unpaywalled:

What's happening LA only proves one thing: Community is actually how we get through this. There is NO other way.

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody."

They’re going after the suit guy?

The thing is is that he had security clearance when he was in Steven Harper’s cabinet. So he’s had it before. What’s changed since then that makes him refuse to get it now?

Time to own our democracy, Canadians. 🇨🇦❤️💪
