In Trump’s unhinged rant yesterday praising the roll back of childhood vaccines, he thanked 4 men by name

RFK Jr
Jay Bhattacharya
Marty Makary
Jim O’Neill

These men will have a special place in the history of the US anti-vaccine movement

RFK Jr’s wildest dreams are coming true, each & every day
Once again, I implore media outlets to stop saying these are CDC decisions.

These are changes being made unilaterally by RFK Jr. against the expert advice of CDC scientists.

I note that RFK Jr. no longer recommends flu vaccine for kids in the midst of a horrible influenza year.
CDC overhauls childhood vaccine schedule to resemble Denmark in unprecedented move
The new U.S. guidelines recommend all children get vaccines for 11 diseases, compared with the 18 previously on the schedule.

Children will die with RFK Jr.'s new vaccine recommendations. We're NOT doing the "experts disagree" game. The US vaccine schedule was painstakingly constructed through a deep & thorough process by experts with unquestionable expertise. This is policy by fiat. It is pre-meditated murder. 1/

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

This is blatantly illegal. A president can’t go into the oil business and then decide where to spend the money. We are completely untethered from our founding document with a lawless president and a Republican Congress which has abdicated all Constitutional authority.

Someone asked me to comment on the anniversary of Jan 6. I will consider having comments on it….should it ever end. We are very much still reaching for the nadir of this reclamation. No time yet for historicizing it. Still trying to survive it.

Today is one of those days where I’m struck anew by how *bad* the internet has gotten. It’s almost unusable. Clouds, apps, advertising — nothing is where it should be and it’s nigh impossible sometimes to do basic tasks online.

It’s impressive how one commentator can be this confidently wrong.

The term “sex assigned at birth” was used in the 60s by obstetricians to explain the cursory way that sex was determined, based on external genitalia alone. It was used in the DSM III-R published in 1987.

You should always keep a healthy level of mistrust toward what government officials say. The official White House propaganda on January 6 obliterates that scale.

The speed and manner with which Trump's campaign to expel all LatAm immigrants from the US became a claim of US sovereignty over the entire region shows that the problem was one of status, not presence.

Trump II has no problem with a two-tier caste system, whether inside or outside US borders.

A major use-case for AI is reality destabilization.
This video, viewed millions of times on TikTok, Facebook and X, claims to show Venezuelans taking to the street to thank the US for detaining Maduro.

But the video is a combination of four AI-generated clips and was first posted on TikTok by a user who frequently shares AI videos. It's not real.

I am aware of how generally useless the U.S. Congress is.

I am not suggesting that the only action we should take is telling our Congressperson & Senators that "I don't want an illegal, unconstitutional war of aggression against Venezuela, impeach and remove" should be the .only. action we take.

My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds.

I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are.

My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.
I call Tommy Tuberville every fucking week, multiple times a week, because he can be evil but I don't have to let him do it without pushback.

So I don't need to hear excuses. I call the dumbest senator in the country. 😂

I am struggling with what might be a generational experience. The gulf war was pretty politically formative for me. It’s not history so much as memory this time.

It is destabilizing to see almost the exact same gameplan but this time without the guardrails that at the time I took for granted.
