Asm. Jaime Williams is one of our community's best friends in Albany. She is an Democrat who thinks for herself, consequently, the Brooklyn party machine is trying to take her out.

Teachers For Choice Endorses Jaime Williams For NY Assembly!

This is the most important Democratic Primary of 2026!

Jaime Williams is one of our biggest supporters and has been for years!

Jaime supports medical freedom and has sponsored two key pieces of legislation for us, including the LET US WORK Act to bring back fired unvaccinated workers to our jobs: as well as the EDUCATION FOR ALL Act to ensure access to medical exemptions to vaccination for medically fragile children. Assemblywoman Williams has written letters to the NYC Mayor supporting reinstatement off fired unvaxxed workers, as well as letters in support of medically fragile children having their medical exemptions accepted to stay in school (see links below).

Jaime has spoken at our rallies outside in front of Capitol Building and inside as well. She has been a crucial ally of ours and now needs our support in this critical election.

Today Jaime is facing a challenger in the Democratic Primary for her Assembly seat. She is by far our strongest Democratic ally in the Assembly, and we must make sure she wins!

Early voting is from Saturday, June 13, to June 21

Election day is on June 23

All registered Democrats in Brooklyn Assembly District 59 (AD 59) must come out and vote for Jaime Williams in the Democratic Primary

@libsoftiktok Painful periods! The patriarchy again!

[Autism Action Network @AutismActionNet]

@UWS_Parent @queens_parents @spencerpratt He is the candidate of gentrifiers, as is the rest of the DSA. Almost all of their candidates are not originally from NYC, they almost all went to extremely expensive private colleges not in NYC, and almost none of them have children. Just like Mamdani.

The hatred directed at the unvaccinated was never really about the unvaccinated.

Jung would have known that instantly.
Because he spent his career studying what happens when human beings cannot face what lives inside them. The answer is always the same. They find someone to put it in.

Jung called this projection. The unconscious transfer of an internal psychological content, a fear, a weakness, an unacknowledged doubt, onto an external figure who then carries it for the group.

It is one of the oldest and most reliable mechanisms in human psychology.
And in 2021, it ran at civilizational scale.
Think about what the pandemic had actually produced in the compliant majority. Genuine fear of death. Deep uncertainty about whether the interventions they had accepted were truly safe. Suppressed grief over lost time, lost connection, lost autonomy. Unexamined anxiety about whether they had thought critically enough before complying.

None of that could be faced directly. Facing it would mean confronting the possibility that the certainty was false, that the compliance had costs, that the authority was imperfect.

So it was projected.

The unvaccinated became a container for everything the vaccinated could not hold.

They were selfish, carrying the projection of the resentment people felt but couldn’t express toward the institutions that had restricted their lives.

They were dangerous, carrying the projection of the fear that the vaccinated still felt despite their compliance.

They were irrational, carrying the projection of the doubt that had been suppressed rather than examined.
The intensity of the hostility was not proportional to the actual epidemiological risk the unvaccinated posed.

It was proportional to the size of the shadow being projected.

Jung’s diagnosis of this dynamic was precise: the more violently a person or group insists on the evil of the other, the more certain you can be that they are encountering their own rejected contents in the mirror.

The way out is not more argument. You cannot reason with a projection. You can only withdraw it.

Which means the most radical thing any of us can do, now, and in whatever comes next, is look honestly at what we are projecting and why.

The enemy you are most certain about is usually closest to home.

While broadening criteria may certainly be a contributor, very few people seem willing to engage with the hypothesis that perhaps a larger number of people are having milder but still significant core symptoms. Perhaps related to widespread environmental exposures. Many immune mediated conditions (asthma, food allergies, inflammatory bowel disease, type one diabetes) have increased in children over the past few decades. No one argues that this is “better diagnosis“.

@katiewr31413491 @JCColtin @dsaer Almost all the DSA elected officials are barren. Mayor Mamdani, Rep. AOC, Sen. Brisport, Asm. Gallagher, Asm. Shrestha, Asm. Salazar, Asm. Gonzales, Asm. Valdez, City Councilmembers Osse, Hanif
and Caban. They are the party of the perennial adolescents.

@kristenmag I wonder if she would ever wear a veil in a Catholic church? I wonder if she would ever enter a Catholic church?

@and_kell Maybe when the ABA industry stops attacking every other treatment modality out there other than ABA.

@AgeofAutism I have always thought that CP and autism are variations on a common theme.

[Autism Action Network @AutismActionNet]

Spelling presents a whole new theory of autism; that it primarily a disability of motor control not cognitive ability. A significant chunk of the Autism industry finds that very threatening.

Trump just stabbed in the back every worker fired for refusing the COVID shot. He is taking the side of Kathy Hochul with am amicus brief he had no obligation to file.

[Aaron Siri @AaronSiriSG]

Mandates are the tool of bullies, criminals and dictators. If a patient refuses a medical product after being conveyed its benefits and risks, then that is called informed consent. They were informed and did not consent. Mandating over this objection is immoral and illiberal.

Dr. Peter McCullough: "I think that it’s obvious to all what’s really behind the total neglect of autism by our federal health authorities. They know what’s causing autism. They’ve known it for decades.

Very powerful forces are preventing anyone from honestly addressing this unprecedented health care disaster.

Imagine the resistance against revealing that an untested, ever-expanding, liability-free vaccine schedule mandated for every children in America has resulted in unimaginable levels of
damage."

Three of the most reform-minded officials at the FDA are now gone. Vinay Prasad left weeks ago. Marty Makary is stepping down. And Tracy Beth Hoeg was fired after refusing to resign, telling reporters she would not sign a resignation letter if leaving was not her choice.

When FDA officials informed her she was done regardless, she said they made clear the order came from someone way above their pay grade.

What that means for the direction of the FDA is genuinely uncertain. The MAHA agenda that came in through Trump and Kennedy at HHS had real momentum, and Hoeg was a consistent voice for scientific integrity throughout COVID and beyond.

Losing that leadership at this moment, with the agency still in the middle of significant reform, leaves real questions about who takes the helm and whether the work continues.

NY State Senator James Skoufis is doing his best to be big pharma's most dutiful flunkie in noe that Brad Hoylman has moved on to "higher" office. Skoufis wants to make medical decisions for you and your kids regardless of what you think or your own individual health condition.

Marty Makary getting fired as head of the FDA, Tracy Beth Hoeg getting fired for cutting down the largest vaccine schedule in the world. Erica Schwartz, a CDC lifer, nominated as director of the CDC. This isn't what I voted for.

[Autism Action Network @AutismActionNet]

It i simple. If you want the Governor making medical decisions for you and your children vote for Kathy Hochul. If you want to make your own choices, and decisions for your children, then vote for Bruce Blakeman.

[Teachers for Choice @teacher_choice]

Bruce Blakeman fully supports medical freedom!

@Bruce_Blakeman is running as the Republican candidate for NY Governor. I asked him his position on 3 critical issues 👇

1. Fired unvaccinated workers

2. Religious and medical exemptions to vaccination

3. The Democrats' bill to ban unvaccinated kids from all summer camps

He went 3-for-3!

#TeachersforChoice approves!!
