The possibility that RFK Jr. is going to undermine herd immunity in the United States grows increasingly likely. This would mean that US will be responsible for starting numerous pandemics and potentially destroying the effectiveness of the entire globe’s vaccine arsenal. This is bioterrorism.

This is kinda hilarious: Trump officials are stocking up on toilet paper and food in anticipation of shortages caused by Trump’s own trade wars. I only wish they’d tell their boss about their newfound hoarding instead of only leaking to @swin24.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

This is absurdity. They’re traumatizing children just for the sake of being cruel. Immigration court judges and staff should refuse to participate in these farces.

American civil society is full of abject cowards, that is the issue. The government is a mafia state but it is winning because most American elite institutions are devoid of anything resembling integrity and are folding rather than stand on principles that were little more than marketing.
