This is a pretty interesting piece if for no other reason that it accurately describes the remarkable shift that has occured along health/political lines.
Regardless of where one lands on this spectrum, I THINK that's a potentially important change to understand.
That said, there are folks who would put canceling any discussion of RFK/MAHA etc ahead of actually understanding what may be good or bad about the movement. I never thought I'd live to see a prominent political figure articulate our challenges ranging form soil to metabolic health. I'm pretty aligned with that. I disagree with RFK's position on a number of topics including seed oils and "natural flavors" to name a few.
So, given that I agree with RFK on ANYTHING makes a cross-section of folks hate me and want to cancel anything I'm associated with, down to folks who sell me cat-litter. The fact I disagree on other hot-button topics (and have disagreed with these positions for years or decades) means i'm a shill and sell-out on everything.
I'm quoted in this a few times. I spent an hour on the phone with the author, it's always interesting what does/does not make the cut in an article like this.

@SpeakerPelosi Please pass HR3648. US Congress must push HR3648 to the finish line in 2022! HR3648 triples the penalties and fines for any violation of immigrant visa (H1B) rules.
@SpeakerPelosi @LeaderHoyer @RepZoeLofgren, Time to walk the walk & create history.

@RepRoKhanna HR3648 is a win-win for both American workers and immigrants. Equality is ABOUT equal treatment of INDIVIDUAL immigrants. America’s Promise=EQUALITY for ALL!
@SpeakerPelosi @LeaderHoyer @RepZoeLofgren Do not break your promise!

@LeaderHoyer Justice delayed is justice denied! Skilled immigrants should NOT be treated differently based on where they were born. Thanks to HR 3648, Employers cannot undercut American workers.

@LeaderHoyer There is a reason why 'IT body shops' don't like this bill. A person's place of birth should not be a criterion in skill-based immigration. HR3648 says 'All employment based immigrants are equal' and ends discrimination.

This week, I plan to bring legislation to the Floor to #RemoveHate from the halls of Congress by removing the bust of former Chief Justice Roger B. Taney from the Old Supreme Court Chamber. Symbols of slavery & sedition should not hold places of honor in our nation’s Capitol.

@LeaderHoyer @HASCDemocrats @RepAdamSmith Delay in passing HR3648 = Delay in protecting American workers. Our families seek stability, not separation. Congress should support merit.
Stop playing games. Lead us to equality @LeaderHoyer.

I was pleased to join my House colleagues in passing the FY2023 National Defense Authorization Act earlier today. This annual bill is critical to protecting our national security & I thank @HASCDemocrats & @RepAdamSmith for their tireless work on this bill.bit.ly/3HlrfBm

@immivoice @RepZoeLofgren Congresswoman Lofgren has stabbed us in the back and the front terribly! This is utterly disappointing to say the very least and painful beyond words when a “champion” of the bill let us down :(

The legacy of @RepZoeLofgren will be lies, inaction, and actively preserving racism in the immigration system. She killed #greencardequality after Senate passage and for the two years after. We will chronicle her actions/reasons and remind her of our suffering every single day.
Rep. Zoe Lofgren@RepZoeLofgren
I plan to swiftly & thoughtfully work with my colleagues to resolve outstanding issues & get a measure across the finish line that can pass both Houses of Congress.
English

@immivoice Thank you @SenMikeLee for standing up against inequality repeatedly and successfully passing the bill in the last session!

After listening to the interview, it felt like the interview has to be deconstructed with commentary since many people including new folks within the community won't know enough context and history to navigate @RepZoeLofgren responses. Here is the vid.

Today's Rally in San Jose to the call for House vote on the Eagle Act. #HR3648
#EagleAct
@RepZoeLofgren has mentioned that bill should be set for House Vote when Congress reconvenes.
@KPIXtv thanks for your support and video.

Immigrants from San Jose and the surrounding area rallied in front of @RepZoeLofgren's house to express their frustration about her not bringing EAGLEAct to the floor for a vote. Now is the time to pass #EAGLEAct @RepZoeLofgren

Thank you to @SenatorHick for being the champion for bringing common sense, equality, fairness, and merit back into our immigration system. We are confident that with your leadership of the EAGLE Act, we will now pass this bill swiftly!
Senator John Hickenlooper@SenatorHick
Fixing our immigration system will help fix our workforce shortage and spur economic growth. Introduced a bill with @SenKevinCramer to end arbitrary caps on employment visas. Let’s get it done!

@immivoice @SenKevinCramer @SenatorHick Senators, Really appreciate your standing up for equality for high skilled immigrants! Thanks IV!
English

Incredibly grateful to @SenKevinCramer & @SenatorHick for continuing the bipartisan tradition of working to eliminate discriminatory country caps by introducing the EAGLE Act. Their leadership will give our bill the boost needed to end the discrimination. immigrationvoice.org/2022S

@immivoice Thank you IV for relentlessly working on this bill year after year making progress each time! This through other adversities like covid and uncertain conditions in the world ! Kudos to you!!!

We are delighted to share that the House Judiciary Committee has scheduled a markup & a vote on the EAGLE Act - Bill to remove discriminatory per country limits. We need everyone in the community to step up and help see this bill through in 2022. #HR3648

@juz_speak_up @immivoice If this is what you think then stand up and fight against it.

@immivoice @SenatorDurbin @SenatorDurbin Stop useless actions that have nil output and do something that matters for a change! Pass EAGLE Act that actually helps immigrants- you inaction is despicable!!!

One day @SenatorDurbin will have to account for a 30 year Senate career with absolutely no legislative accomplishments that actually helped any immigrants... - our full statement on the RELIEF Act.
