Kennedy suppressed a measles forecast that urged vaccination. Another child has died. This is on him. Measles vaccinations can help even after you have been exposed.
He claimed there was no new information. Given his strategizing with anti-vaxx figures to synchronize their messaging to sow mistrust in vaccines (Oct 2020 they did this), he knows why it's important. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/04/06/texas-measles-outbreak-second-death/82962586007/
@CindyWeinstein ok you. Which of your accounts should I follow and which should I unfollow? I always get two in a row of the same thing from two accounts.
@nonproductive Those all sound like things my first husband would say. He was never good at metaphors. My favorite was "give them an inch and they'll take a mouthful."
What guts me, emotionally, and gives me rage to act is the thought of having my family ripped away from me and sent to a gulag like is happening to people in this country right now. But if a precipitous drop in your 401(k) is what it takes to make you stand up and scream “No!”, fine. As long as you’re ready to give these bastards no quarter and ride them the hell out on a rail, we can work with that. #HandsOff

"People streamed onto the expanse of grass surrounding the Washington Monument under gloomy skies and light rain. Organizers told Reuters that more than 20,000 people were expected to attend a rally at the National Mall."

@oots This makes me weep. Leaders who bring their country to this need to be removed. @DemocracyMattersALot
At the hearing, the government attorney, Erez Reuveni, expressed frustration over not having information the judge was seeking in the case of the deported man, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and made clear he had was not getting much help from his superiors.
Abrego Garcia “should not have been removed,” he said, adding that he didn't know why Garcia was ever arrested. “I am also frustrated that I also have no answers for you on a lot of these questions,” he said. - NBC News
@RealJournalism That would be wonderful.
