New Lancet editorial calls it like it is: RFK Jr & MAHA are emboldened, escalating, and dangerous.

We know that danger firsthand - our windows still have bullet holes, put there by a man who targeted us over COVID vaccine conspiracies.

RFK Jr and MAHA: dangerous, emboldened, and escalating
The week beginning Aug 4, 2025 was the most dangerous and tragic week of Robert F Kennedy Jr's tenure yet: a fatal CDC shooting by a gunman distrustful of COVID-19 vaccines, the cancellation of US$500...

Day 8 of Covid. I would encourage everyone to do everything in their power to protect themselves. I’ve had Covid several times. The first case was awful & the other 2 were much more mild. This is definitely more like the first one. It’s insidious. I still have fever, testing positive & a bad cough.🙏

Los Angeles: if you get tear gas or see other people who have been and someone calling themselves a medic tries to use milk to wash their eyes out SLAP THAT MILK JUG OUT THEIR FUCKING HAND. MILK DOES NOT WASH OUT TEAR GAS.

Just use bottled water please.
Timely reminder that the treatment for chemical weapons like tear gas and pepper spray is:

1) remove from active contamination (get them out of the cloud of teargas, remove outer layers of clothing if possible)
2) flush eyes with ONLY clean water. Wash skin and hair with water and soap.

The fact they chose California as the flash point is also an indicator that they don't think these things through

LA has like 4M+ people. Sending every single ICE officer is ~20K, LAPD is 9K, LASD is 10K. Going in at 100:1 manpower – leaving zero bodies for literally anything else – is foolish

Not enough personnel to do martial law

The secret of American law enforcement is that most people voluntarily follow most laws most of the time

If that changes for a significant %, things get overstretched very fast

Forest defense is national defense.

USFS scientists defend our forests.

Tell Congress what you know:

USFS R&D “provides foundational knowledge needed to […] prevent, suppress, mitigate, and eradicate the approximately 500 non-native insects and pathogens that are killing America’s trees.”

I just rewatched Colossus: The Forbin Project (1970) And you know what could be a fun project ? A sequel in our alternative present, 55 years after [SPOILER] Colossus took control of humanity.

there is simply no amount of child death that will move RFK to change his mind because he is a predatory narcissist who cares less about health than the gratification of his own ego
Astonishing RFK Jr interview with NBC. At 23.30 he claims pharmaceuticals are the 3rd leading cause of death in the US [wtf]. He discloses the name & medical history of the 2nd child to die of measles, implies she wasn't healthy & argues about her cause of death. @gorskon.bsky.social
Key takeaways from RFK Jr.'s interview on measles vaccine, food dyes, weight loss drugs and more
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spoke with CBS News in an exclusive interview. Here are some highlights.
