The health and human services secretary campaigned on curbing environmental toxins. He’s done next to nothing to limit microplastics in our brains and our bodies.

Microplastics really are a public health emergency. But instead of talking about his signature issue, he’s babbling about irrelevant moral panics and being dangerously vague about a measles outbreak.

RFK Jr.’s meteoric rise says a lot about Trumpism’s overlap with the online manosphere. But the manosphere’s preoccupation with things like microplastics suggests Democrats may have an opening.

Coming out strongly against microplastics, pesticides, and other forms of pollution could pull RFK Jr. voters to the Democrats. It’s also just good policy.
