I spent a quarter century teaching people about the environment and then I retired. Dogs, plants, ecosystems, cheeses, some whisky, some whiskey, electric cars.

Autistic people and their loved ones have swiftly and publicly rejected statements by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nation’s top health official, that people with autism will never play baseball, date, pay taxes or have a job.

We need to stop setting carbon on fire.

Grateful to my friend and MD colleague @ChrisVanHollen for traveling to El Salvador to try to check on Abrego Garcia’s condition. We will not let up the pressure on the self-proclaimed dictator of El Salvador or the aspiring dictator here. We will continue the fight to bring Abrego Garcia home.

As David Brooks has said, we’re approaching civil disobedience and national strikes phase of defending our nation.

oh my god

Dude is absolutely clueless about the environment. Dangerously ignorant. www.science.org/content/arti...

Answers in search of science isn’t how science works. RFKjr desperate to make up some science to fit his cult's beliefs. ('Environmental causes' is code for vaccines.) www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Well, the Spirit was certainly moving Evan this time. Testify! evanhurst.substack.com/p/karoline-l...

This lifted my spirits. From the column: Today a federal appeals court rejected the Trump administration’s attempt to stop Judge Paula Xinis’s order that it “take all available steps” to bring Abrego Garcia back to the U.S. “as soon as possible.” heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/april-17-2...

Never forget.

Ohio Medicaid got rid of big middlemen. Says it paid pharmacies a lot more — and saved $140M ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/04/17/o...

You are here.

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism. 1. It’s not a disease 2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

If you're a 70-something-year-old man and you're constantly talking about how well you did on a cognitive test, you might not be very cognitively aware.

Why bother to pretend that there is an Endangered Species Act at all? This is complete lawlessness. www.npr.org/2025/04/17/n...

RFK Jr. wants to eradicate autistic people and also has no idea what an autistic person is

Senator Chris Van Hollen is on his way to El Salvador to discuss bringing Kilmar Abrgeo Garcia back home.

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury. This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.

Who else SUPPORTS Senator Van Hollen?! 🤚

A reminder that Donold feeds off of fear. He wants everyone to be afraid at all times. He wants you to stop discussing Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He wants you to stop discussing SignalGate. So he sows fear and panic.

What do you think? Do the chintzy gold colored stickups in the Oval Office come from Home Depot or Hobby Lobby. Also, do they make the Oval Office look more like a mom and pop whorehouse or a Russian sex dungeon?

Oh look. Another bribery and extortion scheme.

There is a 0.000% chance he wrote this one.

Reminder: this is the same plan Russian operatives offered to Paul Manafort in exchange for their help getting Trump elected in 2016. (See Manafort’s testimony in the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report.)

RFK believes that he is one of the genetic elect and that it is a violation of the natural order to either impose on the genetic elect with public health OR prevent nature from taking its course with those who are predestined to biological damnation.
