Flat earth theory for medicine.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. apparently embraces the outdated "miasma theory" of disease instead of the widely accept "germ theory" of disease, which may help explain some of the actions he's been taking.

I’d go further—not even “not reflect” but “actively erases.”
I recall reading abt how Dylann Roof was a “self-radicalized” lone-wolf mass murderer, as if he wasn’t marinated in a toxic media environment of racist hate and grievance.
That’s a willful erasure of these violent politics.

The threat of MAGA violence is one of the major shaping forces in American politics today, and our political discourse has never reflected it.

Flip the ideologies and imagine the reaction.
We’d already have fed police in full combat gear kicking in doors in MN and a barrage of increasingly outraged tweets.
That all we get is something just north of “thoughts and prayers” is a deafeningly loud silence some very dangerous ppl will hear.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.
An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."
The other said, "Take him anyway."
So they did.

Here is a bit more about the author of the law that Rubio is saying that he is using to combat antisemitism. It removes the need for the Sec of State to provide any sort of justification for deporting people he sees at odds with the foreign interests of the US.

I have only one quibble with this framing.
Deportation is often arbitrary, unfair, and terrible. But there are things that have to happen before someone is removed from the country through deportation.
This is not that. It is worse. And we shouldn’t call it that. It’s a disappearance machine.

The former U.S. pardon attorney says special deputy U.S. Marshals were dispatched to her home on Friday night ahead of her testimony (starting momentarily) at a Democratic “shadow hearing” focused on Trump and the rule of law.
