I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

I am once again begging people to realize that the law is words on paper and is not self executing. "That's illegal" is not and has never been synonymous with "that's impossible" or "that can't be done." "That's illegal" means "you might get in trouble for that depending on who you are."

There's two sides to this monstrous coin: 1) His fake study will blame vaccines, producing all the damage which follows from that. 2) The fake study will be used as an excuse to stop genuine autism research. E.g., no grants for anyone who doesn't cheer the fake study and repeat the propaganda.

As protests gain momentum, it's important to recognize and call out COINTELPRO-style behavior Many people who engage in this type of behavior aren't feds. They probably mean well. They are also engaging in behaviors that are so good at disrupting movements that the FBI literally weaponized them

Harper Collins did not sign. So weird how being owned by Rupert Murdoch means they can't even advocate for their own survival. Libraries are a HUGE part of all publishers' bottom lines. If you can't speak out bc it's right, speak out bc otherwise this destroys your bottom line ffs

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

I explained it to several young teens today: imagine we wanted you to become more self-sufficient in the kitchen, so we decided to charge you $20 every time you got takeout. But also we have no food in the house, we won't let you go to the store, and also you don't know how to cook.
