I’m going to reiterate that RFK Jr. will not stop until he takes away every vaccine recommendation and thereby reduces access to them.

This interview with Kirk Milhoan is one of the most disturbing things I’ve seen in my entire career.

He seems to think that a polio outbreak would be just fine.
Top CDC vaccine adviser questions need for polio shot, other longstanding recommendations
The chair of a federal vaccine advisory panel charted a new course for the committee in a podcast released Thursday, questioning longstanding recommendations.

If you just listen to the tone of Scott Bessent's voice, he might seem like an entitled out-of-touch elitist who has no clue what life is like for normal people.

But if you listen to his actual *words* you'll have confirmation that's absolutely right.
Bessent: "Someone, maybe your parents for their retirement have bought 5, 10, 12 homes."

Ossoff: "There's a wickedness to the program. I don't know, pastor, where it is in scripture that it says deny care to the sick, take from those with the least to give to those with the most, violate the house of worship to hunt down the refugee. Where in the scripture are those lessons taught?"

No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.

THIS.

I’m fucking sick of being told it’ll be over soon.

NO ONE who can stop this is doing anything.

It’s time we take back our fucking chance to live.
"Don't give them a show"

Is the same as

"Just take it, it'll be over soon"

Men have been telling us not to fight back since the dawn of time. That needs to end today.

We will fight back. We will fill the streets by the hundreds and thousands and millions.
The first right enshrined in our nation's charter is the right to life. THEN the right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Life is the most precious, the most sacred right. And they are taking it from us.

No more. Not one life more.
