Gélineau advanced the term "narcolepsy" in 1880 while de la Tourette described his eponymous syndrome in 1885. "Autism" was coined by Bleuler in 1911, with full diagnoses soon after. But what do I know? I'm not the Cabinet secretary in charge of the goddamn Department of Health and Human Services.

RFK JR: ADD, ADHD, Tourette syndrome, Narcolepsy, Autism.. All of these are injuries that I never heard of when I was a kid.

Total fertility rate has nothing to do with teen testosterone levels 🙄🫠 and there is no data to support his conclusion anyway

RFK JR: Our fertility is dropping dramatically. Teenagers in this country have the same testosterone levels as 68 year old men

This is functionally… fine and may be at face value good. This isn’t a magic bullet- we won’t be suddenly healthier. This could also make some foods more expensive. We need upstream policy that ups access to more nutritious foods- not just banning ingredients that have debatably negligible effects

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is slated to announce an intent to phase out the use of petroleum-based synthetic food dyes in a bid to ramp up pressure on an industry he has often derided.

APHA clearly coming out against RFK Jr finally

APHA@apha.org

HHS Secretary RFK Jr. is a danger to the public’s health and should resign or be fired, says APHA. In just a few short weeks, his actions on vacccines, fluoride and other public health science have shown how wrong he is for the job. Read & share our statement: apha.org/news-and-med...

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

I think Signalgate is actually an uplifting development in our collective fight against fascism. “How’s that exactly?”, you might ask. Because it illustrates what most of us have known but sometimes forget in the midst of all of the chaos of this regime: These people are monumentally stupid.

Russia kidnaps Ukrainian children and gives them to Russians to erase their heritage and demoralize Ukraine. Over 20,000 so far. And the US just stopped helping track these kids and likely deleted the database of all the research. Pure evil, right maga?

This is exactly what I have been saying for a while now. At this point, it’s not left vs right that matters, but fighters vs non-fighters. The Dems, and the American people, need fighters.
