An American more worthy of celebration than @abdulelsayed.bsky.social is hard to come by. A Rhodes scholar. An epidemiologist. A public health official. A team captain in 3 varsity sports. The man is who Freddie Prinze Jr and James Vanderbeek aspired to become in the movies of my adolescence.

This is what happens when your brain is on drugs special thanks goes to the GOP brainchild Nancy Reagan. A litteral fancy first lady with a valium habit from great doctors serving the admin came up with the infamous “Just Say No” to drugs while likely high. So RFK, well.

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

The settlement given to Paul Vaughn, who was convicted by a Tennessee jury in 2024 of conspiring to prevent access to an abortion clinic, shows how the goal of a $1.8B fund announced in May can continue, despite a public retreat by Blanche.
