After having terminated lawyers for unaccompanied children, the government is now making toddlers represent themselves in deportation proceedings.

Anybody who isn’t influenced by anger at a blatantly corrupt US healthcare industry is profoundly biased against reality and should be disallowed from involvement in the trial.

Many people beyond Snyder saw fascism coming. Many of them also correctly believed that to avert it would require more than just repeatedly shouting “fascism” on MSNBC while doubling down on support for genocide and the failed neoliberal status quo of the Democratic Party.

Recognizing the risk of impending fascism is very different from offering a vision for an effective political means to avert it. Snyder and several others were good at the former but profoundly lacking—or altogether absent—when it came to the latter.

How are the U.S. medical establishment’s support for genocide abroad and collaboration with fascism at home related? thenation.com/article/societ…

Under new NIH rules, researchers who support a boycott of Israel will have their funding terminated. How is the US medical establishment’s support for genocide abroad related to its collaboration with fascism at home, you ask? I wrote about it here. thenation.com/article/societ…

Predicting Trump and fascism is not the same thing as offering a viable political vision for stopping them. Shouting “fascism” while supporting the failed status quo of the DNC that makes fascism attractive to so many people does not constitute an actual anti-fascist politics.

The ironic absurdity of Trump trying to destroy the US medical system—one of our most exploitative, neocolonial institutions—while offering no plan to make it more effective or more just by investing in public care infrastructure… bmj.com/content/371/bm…

RFK Jr is not just ending food safety checks but also destroying the public health reporting and tracking systems to detect when contaminated food is making us sick. We’ll now pay corporations for the privilege of eating shit and not know what’s happening when it kills us.

Peer nations also all have universal healthcare so that people don't leave the hospital with outrageous bills and medical debts after giving birth. If you want to support families, demand universal healthcare and actual public health systems. "Baby bonuses" are just distraction.

It’s true that too much sugar is bad for you, but I assure you that RFK Jr and his stooges flanking him are a far worse poison.

Arguing that shouting “fascism” on cable news and book tours wasn’t and isn’t an effective strategy for preventing fascism should not be equated with ignoring rising fascist threats. We can only beat fascist counter-revolution with revolutionary vision, not neoliberal DNC dogma.

Scientists haven’t been “frankly scared to ask the question”. There are 1000s of studies in the peer-reviewed literature showing no link between autism & the MMR vaccine. Progress has been slow because neurodivergence is complex & multifactorial. Jay is not being truthful.

Delusional, nostalgic framing here. The US was never a beacon of democracy or human rights in the world. Mexico is––thankfully––not aspiring to be USA 2.0.

The day before RFK Jr. and other Trump administration officials announced they are banning certain food dyes, the National Confectioners Association provided candy for the White House Easter Egg Roll that contain the dyes they want to ban. candyusa.com/news/nca-provi…
