Exhibit 7,000,000 that millennials are the only ones who know how to use the internet. I'm assuming @brendelbored.bsky.social is a millennial based on Doug memes
Looks like someone (Mamdani) wants to attack a politician who knows how to get things done since he has no accomplishments of his own! 😡😡😡😡

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect.
As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

7/ If you’re under 65 and not high risk, the window to get a Covid-19 vaccine is right now—before the FDA label changes. Once it happens, access will be limited immediately (if it isn’t already). CVS is no longer booking appointments. As far as we know, Walgreens and local pharmacies still are.

Trump won 56% of the vote in Texas. Currently 66% of the state’s congresspeople are Reps. The new GOP gerrymander would make the number 79%.
What’s the right number? 100%?

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.
But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.
See you soon, NYC.

There’s a nonzero chance you will die from a cancer that could have been curable because people who couldn’t pass 7th grade biology and are scared of things like “mRNA” and “riboflavin” and “walkable cities” decided to make their ignorance everybody else’s problem
Over 120 mRNA cancer trials are now at risk as the Trump admin cuts funding & tells researchers to scrub “mRNA” from grant proposals.
What started as COVID fearmongering is now derailing life-saving cancer research.
Hope remains - but scientists say time is running out.

These NYT folks are so desperate with the Mamdani story to make their own hubris at sharing a contrived "gotcha" moment passable that they're doing everything in their power to rationalize vapid at best, defamatory at worst, "reporting." IG influencer culture meets a journalism degree.
