“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Take a moment today to read about a few of the young children whom Trump and Musk killed by shutting down USAID. The blame for these deaths falls on them.

There will be hundreds of thousands more dead kids before their lethal crusade against foreign aid ends. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

🚨 UPDATE: After humiliating the U.S. on the world stage, Trump just jetted off to Florida—to golf.

He’s now spent 35% of his presidency on vacation, burning through $20M+ in taxpayer dollars. The laziest "president" in U.S. history.

5) my point is that although Trump declares only 2 sexes… biology disagrees. Let’s not let Trump’s oversimplification trump over science. Science trumps & transcends politics.

Trump says there are ‘two sexes.’ Experts and science say it’s not binary.
The president’s executive order signaled an intention to narrowly define the sexes, but experts say he is oversimplifying the intricate nature of human biology.

Woke or biology? There are actually more than the basic “male” XY & “female” XX sexes. Why? Because biology also creates people with single X chromosomes, or extra chromosomes like XXX, XXY, XYY, or XXX+, plus many 🧬genes. 👉All I’m asking is— please be kind to others. Thanks🙏

This is Luke Farritor. He is the 23 year old that fired all the staff in charge of our nuclear arsenal.
Don't worry, though. He completed an internship with SpaceX, so I'm sure he is clearly qualified to determine whether our nuclear arms should be adequately staffed by qualified persons. 🤯🤯🤯

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t the billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts, but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

Donald wants to bring manufacturing back, so his first act of business in that regard is to raise prices on materials. You get a sense of why he bankrupted a casino.
