NEW: Babies Are Bleeding to Death as Parents Reject a Vitamin Shot Given at Birth
The vitamin K shot, a lifesaving injection given to newborns to prevent uncontrollable bleeding of the brain and intestines, has become collateral damage of the anti-vaccine movement.

Aside from the embrace of Wellness Eugenics I think RFK jr's moves all make sense if you are trying to destroy actual medical industries and replace them with wellness snake oil. We can all agree on the greed of the former but at least they create actual usable products

The entire right wing ecosystem, from politics to media to business, is just for-profit contrarianism. The formula is: they name a real shortcoming of the imperfect status quo and once they got you they sell you horseshit that's much, much worse

this is very funny as well as good evidence — you know, beyond what we can see with our own eyes — that there is not some epidemic of anti-white discrimination
Trump is directing the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to prioritize cases of discrimination against white men, but commission staff are "struggling to find complaints with merit"

Now, you might say, "What about all the knowledge we'd lose if we push all the abusive geniuses out of academia?!"
But I'd counter and say, "Well, what about the knowledge we've already lost from the budding scholars whose careers they've derailed with their abuse?"

Trump’s war is sending oil prices soaring and Big Oil is cashing in.
Families pay more at the pump. CEOs profit. That’s not energy policy. That’s profiteering.
Instead, I’m advocating for a tax on big oil windfall profits, and for oil execs to cut their pay.

Don’t let this fly under the radar: the Trump administration wants to kick ~6 million more people off of food assistance programs, including nearly 2 million children.
That would save just $1 billion a year, while Trump spends upwards of $1 billion per *day* on his new forever war.
