RFK says we shouldn’t take medical advice from him?

Thanks, Captain Obvious, but also why are you the Secretary of HEALTH and Human Services if we can’t trust you with medical advice?

Opinion | We Study Fascism at Yale. We’re Leaving the U.S. The decision by these three Yale professors to move to Canada is both a warning and a call to action.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

Three Yale professors who have written extensively on authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. β€œWe’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. β€œAnd what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”

I will never forget that the week Qatar decided to bribe the president of the United States with a plane, CNN decided to focus on the age and health of an ex-president.

Shame.
