With DOGE embedded across agencies, the government has access to any information you’ve shared. Support one another. Stand with your community. That’s what America was truly founded on.

I guess Stephen Miller ordered the invasion of CA while Trump was out partying!
Trump is at a UFC fight tonight as Pentagon announces it is deploying federalized National Guard troops in California.
Very weird/disturbing alignment. Historic moment perhaps.

Columbia University has agreed to terms set by the Trump administration in order to retain its federal funding. This includes a mask ban, and it’s unclear whether and how health exceptions would be implemented for people who, for example, are immunocompromised.
Caving to Trump's demands, Columbia University says it will ban mask-wearing
Enforcing such an order while allowing exceptions for health can be a dicey matter.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

This is the common perception of the average Chinese person after talking with Americans on Red Note. Not to mention, they think it's insane that we work 2+ jobs and sell plasma to pay bills. How does this make you feel?
