Utterly disgusted, angry that the world does nothing. This has gone too far. No more. No more babies starving. No more innocent deaths. Why are world leaders watching Netanyahu and doing NOTHING? Shameful. You are all culpable of this as well as Putin’s atrocities.

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism.
It’s disgusting and dangerous.
If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign.
Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness.
