I heard RFK Jr. is floating the banning of the polio vaccine so seems like a good time to remind folks that RFK Jr. was vaccinated with this same vaccine & therefore is at no risk of harm himself
Kinda like when he publicly was against the covid vaccine yet privately required his guests to have it🙃

Paxton doxed the doctors home address in the lawsuit too. It's extremely clear his goal is to drive harassment her way. This is what anti abortion extremists have done in the past to successfully get providers murdered.
This is a vehicle for Ken Paxton to challenge shield laws protecting abortion access in blue states.
It's not enough to end abortion in their states, they must end it nationally. We can expect the Trump DOJ to side with Texas.

So much this. Far too many people aren’t aware the leopards are coming for them.
Lots of people are about to be really mad that price of eggs goes up but they can’t get a 2nd job because they can’t afford childcare and when they do finally get the eggs they get E Coli because there’s no FDA but can’t go to the doctor because they got kicked off their health plan. #FAFO

The President of the United States will come into office with his own social media platform.
That, combined with X, means Trump will have turnkey state-run media.
I don’t think the media has fully grasped that yet.

Deus vult’ began as a rallying cry for the Crusades. More recently, it’s been adopted by the far right. And we’re not even supposed to wonder/ask why it’s tattooed on the arm of the next defense secretary?
