Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa. I hope every Senator voting in his confirmation process for HHS knows about this crucial and awful story:

It’s okay to feel happy and peaceful even when outer circumstances are tragic and unjust… In fact, I’m unable to be of use to anyone or anything when I am consumed by dread. Take care of yourselves, you’re allowed and we’re all better off for it. 🩵🙏

We’ll get through this…. Or we won’t. One thing I know for sure… the smell of trees and dirt after the rain. That, I know. #presence
