Public health experts and scientists say RFK could do "infinite" damage if he's appointed to lead HHS. It's not just vaccines or fluoride: it's Medicaid and Medicare funding, drug development, cancer research, funding for Indian Health Service... it's endless. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

As Nazis took power, Germany experienced a brain drain among their scientists and other scholars. Perhaps the most famous was Einstein, but many others also fled (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...). Don't think for a second that other countries won't offer safe haven to our best and brightest.

I'm not going to despair over every appointment Dribbling Don makes. We all know it's going to be a shit show filled with christofascists and white nationalists. I will, however, be mocking, since, if it's OK for him, surely it is OK for me. "When they go low we go high" isn't working for me.
