RFK Jr. touts “removing mercury” from vaccines, when in reality it wasn’t even elemental mercury, it was nontoxic, it was safety tested, and it had already been removed from every routine shot.

Meanwhile, the same admin is clearing the way for ACTUALLY MERCURY IN ITS TOXIC FORM.

Who was it that said "if you live in a 15 minute city but your barista has an hour-long commute you don't live in a city; you live in an amusement park"

@yashar A person shouldn’t have to be rich or famous or work for an multinational corporation to receive medical treatment

Yeah. It's why I'm trying to hold politicians and billionaires to account when they use sports to launder their images, and even worse. Not least because they're poisoning sports in the process. Do you?

JANE FONDA: “Don Lemon is a professional journalist. He and his producer were doing their job."

"We have to speak up. When a red line is crossed like this, we cannot be silent.”

"They arrested the wrong Don.”

San Francisco's pro-Trump billionaires pushed to exempt SF from the National Guard/ICE raids. Do they truly support these policies or did they realize bringing it to their own backyard isn't remotely desirable?

Ridiculous.

[NRA @NRA]

“For months, radical progressive politicians like Tim Walz have incited violence against law enforcement officers who are simply trying to do their jobs. Unsurprisingly, these calls to dangerously interject oneself into legitimate law-enforcement activities have ended in violence, tragically resulting in injuries and fatalities.

As there is with any officer-involved shooting, there will be a robust and comprehensive investigation that takes place to determine if the use of force was justified. As we await these facts and gain a clearer understanding, we urge the political voices to lower the temperature to ensure their constituents and law enforcement officers stay safe.”

MSNBC is live defending the second amendment and the conservatives on twitter are explaining that the existence of a firearm in an interaction with a federal agent is a justifiable death sentence. I’m beginning to feel like no one actually believes anything

[Dan Savage @fakedansavage]

Every Democratic member of Congress should be on a plane to Minneapolis right now to join the people protesting in the streets. Federal elected officials should physically place themselves between the public and these dangerous thugs sent to terrorize this American city.

Which means that Nancy Pelosi — one of the staunchest pro-Israel allies in congress — will have her seat filled by someone who publicly states that Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza.
