The lies that RFK Jr keeps telling about the HPV vaccine are so repulsive & so dangerous
We could *eliminate* cervical cancer (Scotland, Rwanda, & Australia are on track) but, sadly, RFK Jr will do all he can to put roadblocks in the way as he is such an extreme anti-vaxx, right wing misogynist
Shabbat shalom and a peaceful weekend to all.
Looking at the TX turnout numbers - seems like investing over the long term to build a deep, diverse bench of authentic values-driven leaders who can effectively communicate pays off big time. Really proud of every @runforsomething.net candidate and alum on the ballot yesterday.
Woke up to see if we could see the lunar eclipse, but that beauty eludes us somewhere behind the clouds. And yes the cloud coverage was forecasted but I had to try anyway. I’m sure a metaphor will kick in after I have my coffee for the state of the world.
RFK Jr’s cousin called him a “predator” & said he’d put live mice & chicks into a blender
“It was often a perverse scene of despair and violence," said Carolyn Kennedy
He now "preys on the desperation of parents of sick children," she said

“Eight months ago, Donald Trump lied to the country when he claimed U.S. air strikes had ‘obliterated’ Iran’s nuclear program. “Now Trump says he’s taken America to war for regime change in Iran. “Trump has launched this regime change war and put American forces at risk without presenting evidence of an imminent threat, without clear objectives, without having exhausted diplomacy, without a plan for the aftermath, and without the consent of Congress. “I oppose yet another regime change war-of-choice in the Middle East. Congress must convene immediately and pass a War Powers Resolution to assert our Constitutional authority over war and peace. “The President has presented no evidence that Iran or its nuclear program — which he falsely claimed to have ‘obliterated’ — pose an imminent threat to the United States, or that diplomacy was exhausted. Iran’s support for terrorism and uranium enrichment have long destabilized the region. But sending American forces into harm’s way should only ever be a last resort. “I pray for the safety of U.S. forces who have been ordered into battle and commend their extraordinary professionalism.”
Sen. Ossoff Statement on Iran.
Rep. Ansari Statement on United States Attack on Iran.
FYI, polling on Iran: blog.fiftyplusone.news/p/voter-id-t...
So just to summarize, Donald Trump is launching attacks in the middle of the night without Congressional authorization to, I assume, distract from the Epstein files.
Never forget
Early voting has ended in Texas. Rs cast about as many ballots as they did in 2022 - their 2026 early vote is about 100.2% of their 2022 total. (That will go up on election day)
Dems have nearly DOUBLED 2022. 170,000 more Dem ballots than R ballots cast in early voting.

I know I’m just being slightly annoying as a Duke fan :). (My father went, so I grew up with it instead of any professional sports.)
Duke blue is a much better color (both for this metaphor and in general.). Fun fact Duke blue was originally Yale blue though it has evolved to be a more royal blue at times.
Shabbat shalom and a peaceful weekend to all. One hamantaschen shaped challah for Purim, one regular five braid one.
Shai Held brought some very good Torah to the pages of the New York Times today - exploring what it means to love the “ger” both then and now
Important morning speaking up for our neighbors and our country. We were part of one of several protests across Nassau County that each got great crowds speaking up against ICE.
1. Outstanding article from Tess Finch Lees:
'Meanwhile, when asked why she’s masking during chemo, Meg now says, “I’m training for the Olympics” '.

Shabbat shalom and a peaceful weekend. This week’s challah celebrates the Olympics. While the games are far from perfect, I’m a firm believer in the ways that they create diplomacy, understanding, and exchange to make our world a better place.
Shabbat shalom and a peaceful weekend. A special challah for #ReproShabbat. Feeling pretty great about my personal brand that so many friends made sure I knew about this one. @lilithmagazine.bsky.social and @ncjw.bsky.social
There’s a special place in hell…
Why did the American audience apparently hear different audio of JD Vance's appearance at the Olympics than the audio heard by the rest of the world?
NBC denies muting. But it's part of overall disturbing developments in the US corporate media world.
“Amalia had been healthy before immigration officers arrested her family… Amalia’s health quickly deteriorated [in Dilley]. On Jan. 18, she was rushed to a children’s hospital where doctors treated her for pneumonia, Covid-19, RSV and severe respiratory distress.”

Racist garbage continues to emanate from this President and his White House.
Fucking hell—what a monstrous government
The defining public health crisis right now: concentration camps & the torture of kids
The senior powerful physicians in the Trump Administration—Drs Oz, Makary, Bhattacharya, Høeg, Prasad—should condemn this but they’re Trump collaborators so they won’t
Shabbat shalom and a peaceful weekend to all.
Absolutely lazy for the White House to blame a random staffer for the racist AI post. Trump posted it himself in the middle of the night, as he has many, many times. Plus, they’ve posted plenty of other offensive shit—remember when he used AI to show himself napalming Chicago?
We are allowed to judge Vinay Prasad by his silence now.
He is the chief vaccine regulator. Why isn’t he using his voice and authority to promote the MMR vaccine?
His silence is a dereliction of duty in this moment.
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.
