Someone could go to school for 4 years and study aerospace engineering, then get a PhD with a dissertation related to orbital mechanics, and some instagram influencer who watched a youtube video will be like "actually that guy is wrong" on a topic related to space travel and people will believe them.
I'm not sure how we got here, but I hope we go back to a society where credibility is earned with rigorous training in the associated field, not by a popularity contest.
To everyone who voted for him:
Fuck you.
Fuck your selfishness.
Fuck your ignorance.
Fuck your cruelty.
Fuck your racism.
Fuck your blind obedience.
Fuck your cult.
Fuck. You.
I’d like to apologize to every MAGA supporter I ever mocked.
I should have been meaner to you and done it more often.
Because you deserve to be endlessly reminded of how fucking stupid you are.
He said he was going to buy 55,000 Bibles with taxpayer money and force every public school teacher to teach from it. Now he’s holding a $60 Trump Bible for his official announcement. Christian Nationalist Grifting.
KASIE HUNT: Over the summer you said, “There’s no vaccine that’s safe and effective”. Do you still believe that?
RFK JR: “I never said that.”
KASIE HUNT: “Play the clip.”
RFK JR (clip): “There’s no vaccine that is safe and effective.” (March)
@atrupar You called him “Genocidal Joe” & did everything you could to stop “Holocaust Harris” from winning the election knowing the consequences the whole time.
GTFO
@jaredpolis@RobertKennedyJr@HHSGov You are giving credibility to a mentally incompetent nominee who will end up getting millions of Americans killed if confirmed. You need to delete this and resign your office. This is beyond disqualifying.
This is exactly how we got here. People in high office who fail to understand that they owe their loyalty to the Constitution and the people who elect them, over the head of their party.
This gives me no pleasure, but given Elon Musk's history, claims, and behaviors, I can't let Richard's "welfare of the world at heart" line pass without comment.
While watching Elon's rise to greater power (and the fawning of his fans), I started keeping notes. Thread (1)

Except for the reality that the guy doesn’t follow or understand evidence-based science, and still pushes false narratives around vaccines, making disproven claims that vaccines cause autism or other conditions despite the massive scientific evidence to the contrary. Refs below
These are the stakes. Maybe there’s only a 10% chance this happens. That’s too high.
And some doctors here were worried mostly about tone and decorum. 🙄
I cannot stress enough how full of lies RFK Jr. and the MAHA movement is. America faces real challenges with health, but bringing back infectious diseases and denying what science has already established will make us go backwards. No matter who you plan on voting for, inform yourself of this first.
@joerogan especially needs to wake up and stop letting people who spread these lies take advantage of his platform.
