Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach.
To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat.
And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.

I hear that our dear leader has offered a new tenant to that ol’ time religion. “Hate your enemies!” And last week he was worried about getting into heaven.

Add them to the Boycott list. You don’t need to spend that much on coffee anyway. My daughter makes coffee drinks at home better than Starbucks and healthier.

I started boycotting them in 2021. I don’t miss it. I actually thought I would.
They’re one of many companies that are dead to me until they pay their employees better wages and benefits, invest in DEI, and stop taking people for granted.

Trump is executing people without trial—state-sanctioned murder. Even the worst drug offenders aren’t given death sentences, yet he plays judge, jury, and executioner. He is a mass murderer. And our gutless, sycophantic press? Not one of them will dare ask why he slaughtered 11 human beings.

New Covid variants and tincture of time along with progressively reducing the number of recently immunized, MAY lead to a new wave of death from COVID-19. WAVES of death? My husband worked for months in overcrowded ICU’s on COVID-19 patients watching multiple people die every day. Never again.

Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day.
Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day.
It's not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

I’ve heard military law experts advise, if you are given an illegal command as a soldier, do not blindly obey. Call your attorney. Obeying an illegal command can result in a court martial.
