lowering drug prices, improving nutritional standards, and reducing pesticide use are causes that could genuinely improve public health. Colorado’s experience with prescription drug importation and pesticide regulation shows that we need leadership willing to stand up to big corporations, and it’s easy to see why RFK Jr.’s bold talk on these issues resonates.

But there are significant concerns about his track record. Beyond his vaccine stance, RFK Jr. has also promoted scientifically unsupported claims about HIV/AIDS, suggesting that HIV doesn’t cause AIDS—a view that has been widely debunked and has caused harm in communities affected by the disease. He’s also pushed conspiracy theories about 5G and Wi-Fi, alleging health risks that extensive research hasn’t supported. These positions reflect a pattern of promoting claims that can erode public trust in critical areas of health, even when the science is clear.

The risk is that, with a track record like this, he could bring these same tendencies to HHS, diverting focus from evidence-based health initiatives. I fully agree that we need reform in areas like drug pricing, nutrition, and agriculture policy—but we need a leader who’ll pursue these reforms with rigorous science and public health as the top priority, rather than personal beliefs or fringe theories. I am disappointed to see this level of support from you. We’re losing our institutions to people who professionally degrade trust in them and that causes real harm. That’s this guys whole bag. Be very careful here.

Y'all still not understanding. People see children as a punishment for women having sex. That's why some folks say the solution for women since Roe has been overturned is to "close your legs." Not once do they advocate men getting vasectomies or keeping their peens in their pants

Democrats are already sending out fundraising emails. Don’t give them a dime. They’ve done nothing to fight back against Republicans in any meaningful way because they are on the same side and serve the same wealthy donors. Invest in your local communities & help people directly.

Cops do not belong in schools. They do not keep Black and Brown students safe.

As we mourn the deaths of students & teachers from Uvalde, Texas, & those whose lives were taken by acts of white supremacist terrorism in Buffalo a week ago — Cops do not keep us safe.

[Read Jackson Rising @JPHilllllll]

The cops let the shooter in, refused to go in and stop him, and then kept parents out. If this doesn’t change your views on policing I don’t know what will.

[5hahem @shaTIRED]

don’t erase the teachers who died trying to protect children. the school officers waited for backup while these people were being slaughtered. being extremely underpaid to do a job then having to die doing it should never be an afterthought.

my heart goes out to teachers today.
