AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

To do this, he needs a badge, and if he has a badge, he files a full financial disclosure, conflict of interest/divestment of conflicted assets check, and gets a full security background check. Please reply with "laws don't matter" so I can block.

FYI RedNote is not "Chinese TikTok". China's version of TikTok is called Douyin, which is owned by ByteDance and you can't use it without a Chinese phone number. Xiaohongshu is a social shopping app that's closer to Instagram or Pinterest, primarily used by rich young women.
The U.S. government is about to be PISSED that the RedNote (Xiaohongshu chinese tiktok) app is #1 in social networking right now on GooglePlay.

When Tiktok gets banned, we aren't going to Meta platforms. Collectively, we would all rather learn Mandarin than be force-fed American propaganda.

Right wing extremists are trying to block access to PrEP, which all but eliminates HIV risk.

It’s part of their Make America Sick Again agenda.

PrEP can end HIV infections globally. These zealots don’t want that. They want to go back to the 1950s. They want people to get HIV as punishment for sin.
