This means nothing. Useless. Empty words, zero action. Boycott his events. Refuse to cover his photo ops and propaganda signings. He’s addicted to coverage and hates being ignored. Until you band together and do something, these statements are utterly pointless & pathetic.

Withdrawing from the UNHRC is absolutely fucking terrifying. Taking "ownership" of Gaza is completely fucking horrifying.

Please share this. As a survivor, I can't articulate the years of shame, self doubt and suffering these practices cause. Conversion therapy is abuse, emotionally, physically, spiritually.
There's a petition to ban conversion practices (targeting LGBTQIA+ people) in the European Union. We need one million signatures, and we currently have 180,000+. If you live in Europe (even if you don't), spread the word ! 🌈🔥✊

So the FBI could surveil & then assassinate a 21 year old Civil Rights leader in 1969, but is powerless to take any steps to stop--checks notes--a 19 year old who goes by the name Big Balls from defunding and defrauding a $6 Trillion economy? Do I have that right?

Everyone needs to be walking into your Congressional rep’s offices to demand answers.
I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.

Explain this to everyone — your uncle, sister, neighbor. Security chiefs were fired because they wouldn’t allow a civilian with no security clearance to have access to systems that control billions of dollars. Musk is committing espionage at least and treason at most and should be held to account.

I'm glad that America is doing real classic end of empire stuff. A king who is visibly losing his mind declaring a war based on a dream he had. Greedy courtiers feuding over access to the treasury. Some looks are timeless.
