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?

A biologist warns that animals are facing a hidden epidemic. Chronic diseases once rare are now common in pets, livestock, and wildlife. The phenomenon reflects the same chronic disease crisis humans have faced for decades.
Chronic Diseases Are Rising Across Animal Populations - Profolus
Chronic diseases are no longer just a human concern. Animals across species are developing obesity, diabetes, and cancer at rising rates.

I just finished an advance copy of Strange Animals by Jarod K Anderson. It’s a wonderful mix of fantasy, nature, and the human condition. Wonderful characters, fantastical creatures, and a series of compelling questions that we all ask ourselves. Drops on February 10. Highly recommend. 📚💙

Earlier this year, Utah Republicans passed a "Campus Carry" law (HB 128), which allows individuals aged 18+ to carry a firearm, either openly or concealed, on college campuses, provided they hold a valid Utah Concealed Weapon Permit (CWP).

No surprise. Just disgust.
The GOP usually LOVES these O’Keefe hidden cameras.
Let’s see what they have to say about this one admitting the Epstein coverup.

You can watch this Green Beret describe this experience in his own words to @vanhollen.senate.gov, and for us, and I cried. I’m not sure how you could watch this veteran tell this child’s story and not feel all of the emotions at once.

You need to watch this. It’s long (29 minutes) and it’s hard to watch. And then you need to share it, because every single American needs to know what we are doing.

So if you can get a medical professional, or someone adjacent to a medical professional, to declare someone as mentally ill, you will have a legal path to have them institutionalized. This should terrify every person in this country.
