Could someone please tell RFKjr that PFAS cause autism. Tell them you read it on the internet.
The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food. The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of PFAS — also known as "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

Just out of words for how disheartening it all is.
Trump just ended a rule limiting a type of pollution that causes heart and lung disease.

The rule was expected to save thousands of American lives every year.

This is identical to Russia invading Ukraine. Illegally invading a country for their resources and likely killing thousands—if not more—is immoral and should not be supported by anyone with any shred of moral conscience.

The worst part of the holidays is how judgmental family members will disguise judgment as *concern*. "Are you sure you want seconds? I'm just worried about you."

If you have ADHD, this can emotionally dysregulate and trigger your RSD HARD because it feels like love withdrawal. 🧵

“I think most Americans would be stunned to learn that international adoptees have not all been automatically granted the same status as their U.S. parents. Several grown adoptees have already been deported, including individuals who came to the United States as infants”
A mother shares the terrifying reality that her internationally adopted son, raised in the U.S. since childhood, could be detained or deported by ICE because he was never granted citizenship. 35-70k adoptees remain in this legal limbo. Urge Congress to pass the PAAF Act. 🥚

This paper repeats every fart from the Trump administrator without sniffing first to see if it happened but Danny Glover “said” he had a medical event like they need to cover their backside in case maybe he’s lying.
Donald Glover, the actor and five-time Grammy winner who performs as Childish Gambino, said during a concert on Saturday in Los Angeles that he had suffered a stroke and other health challenges last year that prompted him to cancel his world tour.

I'm so angry about this.
This is fu*king outrageous!

The federal government on Saturday dismissed charges against a Utah plastic surgeon accused of throwing away COVID-19 vaccines, giving children saline shots instead of the vaccine and selling faked vaccination cards.

Grim was the world and grey last night:
The moon and stars were fled,
The hall was dark without song or light,
The fires were fallen dead.
The wind in the trees was like to the sea,
And over the mountains’ teeth
It whistled bitter-cold and free,
As a sword leapt from its sheath.

Safety rules are written in blood. Scrapping them is generally a decision to kill people to increase profits
Trump’s Dept. of Transportation has:
• Scrapped possible limits on train/bus driver hours to keep them from falling asleep
• Delayed a rule to help prevent 9/11-style cockpit takeovers
• Proposed exempting school bus child-restraint systems from crash-protection rules

The Geiers were famous for using Lupron (a medical castration drug) on autistic boys to “ take the wolf out” as they put it in a long -vanished article that used to be on the NYT website. Vile and evil men.
The study in question was conducted by anti-vaxxers David Geier, who Kennedy hired to study vaccines and autism, and his father, Mark.

Neither one has a medical license. Mark is a former physician but his son, David, is not.

Both were disciplined for practicing medicine without a license in MD.

Past is prologue.

In 1933, during the Great Depression, a group of wealthy businessmen tried to overthrow the US government and install a fascist dictator to protect their own interests.

And everything that led to it feels way too familiar right now.

This is not a history lesson, it’s a warning.

Seems like a good day to revisit why I chose this screen name a little over seven years ago. A 🧵

It was about a week after Jamal Khashoggi was murdered, and the first time (that I know of) that Trump was asked about it.
