They’re afraid to participate in the public square. They don’t know how to advocate for themselves or their value. They’ve been told by comms teams that boldness is all downside -that it will make them a target. There is no collective voice or network. They are utterly unprepared for modern comms. RE:

This is what MAHA sends out when its boy gets pushback or there’s any hint of accountability. They do this for their state legislatures too — and are amped to do it for nutjobs like Ladapo who want to bring Freedom Measles to a school near you. This is why the silent majority needs to get loud. https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreicx6ptnx6zgwfdcahxib3ngdai2bevlyp53w4xiibmrkedagdn5ru https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreic4zexh3qpr5suw2fq7n4yzfd2iz6jien7y3bsi2wliminmvgxxt4

Michael Shellenberger, CBR Chair of Censorship Hoaxes at the University of Austin, is testifying on Tuesday…but he got the committee wrong. 😬 He’s testifying in front of the Lantos Human Rights Commission, where other witnesses will make him look like the complete charlatan he is by comparison. https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreifoo6kdpye56op5n6tqpn2a4hxt74u6fdhheviky6nafhi67ta2ea

The antivax subset of MAHA is a noisy, dangerous fringe. They are a political liability as well as a real liability. Insurers and business leaders who will have to bear the costs of RFK’s trash policies should be pointing this out to Republican leaders in their states every chance they get. https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreibx5ijzgbctdhilkb5cw74ynuexoleb5gsai74nfvp47itbbuquue

The fight is here, actually, so it’s time for people who believe in basic liberal values to stop being nice and patiently indulging bullshit. It’s time for belligerent normalcy & a simple message: vaccines work, and we want them. We want our kids protected from preventable diseases in school. https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreie6c4wo7h7lluf2hzyddv5qg2rxgmpoqwtbsx4lewb2wqpqt24p5y

🌱 Today’s harvest. Sooo much okra…gumbo tomorrow. There are maybe 8 more squash on the vine that are all pretty big, the ones that ripened first were small even by honeynut standards so they’ll get gradually get tossed into risotto or something. https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreiehjm37upwgm3cpofncliwoc6ovn5a3odwovenmgzprpz7lii5i4i

This article neglects to mention the longtime bizarre and false QAnon theories trying to link Tom Hanks to Epstein. So if it’s “just” his support for Biden, that’s the best case for the embarrassing cancelation of this ceremony.

X reactions to the hearing were strongly in Kennedy’s favor via posts from prominent (monetized) influencers over there. Threads is hard to gauge but it seemed very strongly pro-vaccine —lots of physician creators establishing themselves there! Majority illusion/divergent realities by platform now. RE:

Kennedy on a media tear to make it seem like he’s got widespread support. The anti-vaxx movement has been very very good at using social media to...
