Hey, remember when RFK said he'd start an autism registry, then the DHHS said, "Lol, of course we're not doing that! That would be crazy!"?

HHS to build Medicare, Medicaid database on autism, other chronic illnesses | CNN

The US Department of Health and Human Services on Wednesday unveiled a pilot program for the National Institutes of Health to tap into Medic

The US Department of Health and Human Services on Wednesday unveiled a pilot program for the National Institutes of Health to tap into Medicare and Medicaid data in its search for the root causes of autism. The database — which HHS said will draw from insurance claims, medical records, and data from wearable technology such as smartwatches — is one of the first steps in HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s bid to find the causes of autism “by September.”

If the shoe was on the other foot, hell would break loose.

Side note/correction-

We aren't Weimar Germany, nor Germany under the Nazis. Neither of those situation included a government so blatantly corrupt. Neither had the lawlessness, the utter comtempt for the courts and rule of law that is exhibited by tRump and the Republicunts.

We are the world's first long established democratic and free society that is devolving into a pre-broken autocratic absurdity of a nation. We have centuries of precedent being discarded for a venal and incompetent travesty that is supported by people who will not only not benefit, they will suffer just like all the ones they hate. We are "1984" and "Brazil" fused into one.

"Land of the Free". Provided you're white, obedient, and accept every lie the ruling powers spew out. Free until the definition of "wrong" and "illegal" expands to encompass you too.

And it's all there. Openly displayed. Hitler had the "Night of the Long Knives" to purge the SA when he no longer needed them as his secret allies who did the brutal, dirty work out on the streets for him. In the U.S nothing is hidden. ICE gladly violates laws for the administration with no attempt at dissemination, no need to dissemble. All these magatt "patriots" cheering on the destruction of the Constitution that is the foundation of the United States' freedom.

Somewhere in Hell Hitler and Himmler and Goebbels are saying "Hang on. Didn't these people fight against us and sacrifice over 400k lives to defeat fascism? Wasn't it these people?"

Punching Nazis and Klansmen will get you into heaven.

The result of getting rid of DEI is these people.

Instead of takedown ads, this Gen-Z congressional candidate is using campaign money to feed people

Kat Abughazaleh, a 26-year-old running for Congress in Illinois, is spending her campaign dollars in a whole new way.

"Kat Abughazaleh, a 26-year-old running for Congress in Illinois’ 9th congressional district, isn’t shy about her belief that politicians need to do things differently.

“We have a representation problem,” the first line of the “About” page on her website reads.

“As in, about half of Congress are millionaires and people born before the Moon landing. And that's part of the reason we're in this mess: Our leaders are out of touch.”

A journalist, social media influencer, and political commentator that GQ called “a lefty,” with a mission to revitalize the Democratic party, Abughazaleh built a following online before she launched her campaign in March of 2025. 

But now, she’s leveraging her platform — and campaign dollars — to help people in her community before ballots are even filled in.

“My congressional campaign is feeding people right now,” she starts in a recent TikTok video. 

“Part of the reason I decided to run was because I saw how much money gets wasted in politics, and I thought, ‘What if we spent it differently?’”

She adds that the campaign is focused on “direct action and mutual aid,” emphasizing that she wanted her run for office to be “dual-purpose,” in which she can get her message out and help people in the process. 

It’s a stark pivot from the traditional way of campaigning in the United States, which often includes pricey fundraising galas, attack ads, big billboards, and perhaps the most criticized and unpopular feature: massive donations from private businesses and interest groups. 

Abughazaleh has publicly congratulated the former incumbent of this seat — 80-year-old Rep. Jan Schakowsky, who has held the title since 1999, the year Abughazaleh was born — for her “decades of service.” 

Rep. Schakowsky will not seek reelection, but Abughazaleh called for others to run, hoping to participate in the “first competitive Democratic primary in the District since 1998.”

Abughazaleh has also shared that the average donation her campaign receives is $31. And according to GQ, 1,000 people signed up to volunteer for her campaign within a week of her initial announcement.

And while that volunteering does include marketing, canvassing, and getting the word out, it mostly adds up to actual on-the-ground volunteer work to help people in the local community.

“Our kick-off event, for instance, didn’t charge $500 a plate,” Abughazaleh shared in her TikTok. “People just had to bring a box of pads or tampons, which were donated to Chicago’s period collective. By the end of the night, we had gathered over 5,600 period products, which went to people who can’t afford them.”

Most recently, the campaign hosted a food drive for a local community fridge program.

“We asked folks to come out and donate food in exchange for a campaign yard or window sign,” Abughazaleh said. “And by the end of the day, we were able to fully stock the empty pantry and fill the fridge with frozen meals, produce, and eggs. That’s feeding people right now.”

“Don’t worry, we checked to make sure this is legal," she added. "And it is."

The campaign has also launched a High School Public Serve Grant program that encourages local youth to submit ideas for how to make the community better, and Abughazaleh’s campaign will support it with money, materials, volunteers, and her online platform...

“Something you’ll rarely see is concrete help in their communities during the campaign,” she said. “And frankly, to me, that just seems stupid. Not only do you get to help people — supposedly what you’re running to do — but it also shows what you’re about, instead of just providing lip service.” ...

“If every campaign adopted this model, then we wouldn’t be wasting money every single cycle. Every city, town, and village across America would be improved by their election process, and I think it would also get people more involved,” she said.

“We have local folks who have never voted in an election, but they joined our volunteer Discord server because they want to help, they feel like they have something to vote for.”

For those who might be inspired enough to run for office with this model, she says: Full steam ahead.

“Frankly, I would love it if other campaigns took our model. Use it, pretend it’s yours, I don’t care!” she wrapped up her TikTok. 

“Pair with organizations in your community that have been doing the work, talk with local experts, and try to spearhead any initiatives you can to show your values and help your constituents. It’s really that easy.”
