If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Lots of comments in support of Tatiana Schlossberg saying they want to do something. She bravely stood up for science rebuking RFK Jr. Get your flu and COVID vaccines-cancer patients depend on herd immunity as they are too immunosuppressed to be vaccinated. Show them some love through action.

He betrayed his oath as a doctor and voluntarily supported a man whose insane policies will kill children, all for the sake of power, MAGA, and politics.

I hope he is shamed for life.

Vaccine-supporting Cassidy declines to speak against RFK Jr.
But Sen. Bill Cassidy, a physician, did emphasize his belief that vaccines are safe.

Calling the ABC reporter’s question “insubordinate” explains everything about how Trump sees press freedom.
Q: Why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now?

TRUMP: It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you're a terrible reporter. It's the way you ask these questions. You start off with a man who's highly respected asking him an insubordinate question

Days before reversing his stance on releasing the Epstein files, President Donald Trump called a reporter "piggy" after she asked about his name being raised in emails sent by convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.

People are rising up and teaching each other how to resist and fight back, and it’s working.

And yeah, we’re seeing a whole lot of stupid ICE agents stumbling around like they own the place.

You cannot occupy a city and expect silence. The people who live there always answer back.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.
