America Is putinously Cutting Off the Five Eyes.

Afterall why would🇺🇸share intel with our allies about our shared enemy?

Trump wanted to gift Putin some Alaska, but, in exchange for idk not releasing (hacked) Epstein files, is this what Vlad extracted? #SPECTRE
America Is Cutting Off the Five Eyes. The Results Could Be Catastrophic.
If Tulsi Gabbard’s directive is maintained, the United States could find itself in a world where its most trusted partners primarily discuss security in venues that do not include America.

Think New Mexico isn’t fighting for patients, they’re fighting for private equity.

There’s a doctor shortage because Wall Street buys up community hospitals, guts staff, and turns ERs into cash cows. Patients wait 16 hours for care while profits soar.

Private equity is strip-mining hospitals.

#NIH is hanging by a thread. The #CDC has been decimated. #RFK Jr. and Russell #Vought are psychopaths--I don't say this frivolously--they are cold, calculating, inflicting violence on millions through public policy. It is where we are right now. These men are not normal. 1/

Let's put this in perspective:

MAGAs visited Alligator Alcatraz in 2025 with the same fervor Southern Whites gathered at lynchings in the 1930s.

MAGA would have no problem celebrating and attending a lynching in 2025.

America has learned nothing.

If you live in Medford MA just know that Clerkin, who is running for City Council here, worked on RFK’s presidential campaign ☠️ and that is why we all need to vote in 2025.

Early voting starts in my city next week- do you know who is running and when to vote where you live?
wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them?
