I owe the television part of my career to @joyannreid.bsky.social, as do so many other Black voices y'all never would have heard of if not for her. And that's why she's gone. They can treat black folks as interchangeable, but everybody Black knows that Joy was indispensable.

So RFK Jr. went to TX, did not address the measles outbreak, and indicated he might go back on his promise to Sen. Cassidy to leave the childhood vaccine schedule alone. Because he believes vaccines might cause chronic illness. He's not a doctor or scientist , FFS! apnews.com/article/chil...
