How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

Science is not simple.
It is so easy to oversimplify something to a point to where it fits a narrative.
Recall that RFK Jr’s MAHA report misrepresented the conclusions of scientific papers to fit the narrative.
We have to fight back.

Again, we have an anti-vax conspiracy theorist as the *head* of all healthcare in the U.S. This particular conspiracy theory is even more bonkers than his others (and there are many others). How is this remotely ok? 🧪
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

Time for us to push corporations to stop harming the planet!
A paper published in Nature in September suggests a quarter of heatwave events from 2000-23 would have been near impossible without anthropogenic climate change. The paper also indicates that major carbon emitters are responsible for around 50% of the increase in intensity of these events. ⚒️ 🧪
Systematic attribution of heatwaves to the emissions of carbon majors - Nature
Climate change made 213 historical heatwaves reported over 2000–2023 more likely and more intense, to which each of the 180 carbon majors (fossil fuel and cement producers) substantially contributed.
