I'm old enough to remember when polio ripped through the globe and put my friends into iron lungs.
We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives.
RFK Jr. is a disgrace.

The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American | Will Bunch
An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.
What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?
