this man has blood on his hands and everyone who supported him and excused him has blood on their hands and I do not want to hear a single fucking Democrat with any position other than "impeach and remove him immediately"

he and his MAHA movement are child killers
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website

Could we get this circulated again? I'm so sorry to ask but I had to push my root canal back a week because I couldn't afford it. I'm still going back-and-forth with the bank about fixing my situation. It's exhausting and I'm a bit broken at the moment to be honest. Any help would be amazing. Ty🖤🖤🖤
Hi y'all I very prematurely closed my old gfm and I've started a new one. Things are quite dire and it's looking like I'm going to need to hire a lawyer which I can't afford. Your help would mean the world to me truly.

Voting to condemn socialism is a great way to prove to people you either don't know what socialism is or are willing to indulge the ignorance of the uneducated.

But no resolutions condemning fascism, huh?
The House of Representatives voted 285–98 in favor of a resolution condemning socialism.

86 Dems joined Republicans in supporting the measure, incl. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
