Infuriating. One of my academic heroes, the late Dr. Urie Bronfenbrenner, played an important role in bringing Head Start into being. He would be appalled, no, horrified, to hear this news.

No surprise here. Racists, all.

Yeah, likely a troll. Drinking aqueous chlorine dioxide is such fun!
And, ah, rabies is such a fun way to die. Death preceded by paralysis, delirium, insatiable thirst but an inability to swallow. No cure once symptoms show. Death within about 10 days. Lovely.

Absolutely and terrifyingly stunning that no one in House and Senate or the media can act powerfully enough to get RFK Jr. and his ilk removed from government. Incredibly sad that too many in the public are okay with RFK Jr.
Such an incredible failure of governance.

So tragic. As you said, Jonathan "Motivated reasoning kicks in … confirmation bias gets activated."
So they really, sincerely think they are doing the right thing. Awful to imagine how those poor kids suffered.

Ah, yes, Tucker Carlson, that great theologian! Carlson, of course, has the inside track on what makes a Christian.
From Bonhoeffer: Christ in community. Christ's presence in us all and in the world. Living for and service to others.
"Love, in its essence, means making room for the other."

Aside from anything else, these folks are supremely ignorant about global demographics and migration patterns. Their prejudice, their racist fears blind them to the obvious.

Aside from the faux pas, the logic here is, um, impeccable.
What a great moral argument.
These people are worse than pathetic. They have opened themselves up to evil.

So then Barbabella is lying about his condition (which wouldn't at all surprise me)? Trump as an example great cardiovascular health? The guy who never does any cardio exercise and who eats junk food regularly?

I think this issue is really central: it is exposing the deeply rooted violent, passionate, racist hatred that has infected so many of them.

Gad, these guys can't even mount a coherent argument. Yes, we want to be supportive of immigrants ... but the country doesn't *really* want the immigrants and that's why we elected a disruptor.

No, you don't have a great relationship with Canada. We love America but we don't like or respect you.
And, er, what was the name of the Prime Minister you mentioned there, Donald? Edward Kennedy or Edward Carney?
Yeah, shows what a great relationship you have with us.

But then will they just ignore the peer review process altogether and allow the hacks to make the decisions about what gets published (on ideological grounds)?
