Republican Senators who voted for RFK Jr. have the best healthcare in the world, paid for by you. They don’t care about what’s going to happen to your kids, your parents, or you.

A recent US presidential EO "refers to autism and other disabilities as 'a dire threat to the American people & our way of life.' This is fundamentally inaccurate. Autistic people have always been here, including before America existed. We aren’t new." autisticadvocacy.org/2025/02/asan... 1/2

This 2021 piece by @tarahaelle.bsky.social was such an eye opener on how a pandemic arrested by vaccines could actually be a boon to science denialism. And now RFK Jr is HHS Sec. www.nytimes.com/2021/08/31/o...

I’m not sure the world has seen a genuine supervillain until 2025. Of course there’ve been countless monsters: hitler, Stalin, pol pot. But a real life figure who fits the Gotham/Metropolis model. Plutocrat bigwig who is actually deeply evil & wants to run the world for cartoonishly stupid reasons.

Measles infection can cause pneumonia or encephalitis, even death, soon after infection. What most folks don't know is that measles can also kill years later, from SSPE, subacute sclerosing pan-encephalitis. It's brain damage — incurable, irreversible, progressive, and nearly always fatal. 1/13
