Also someone should look at the kids in the finals of the Scripps National Spelling Bee and US representatives for math competitions. Many are immigrants or children of immigrants and are amazingly bright and talented.

Apparently states’ rights stop the moment women board a plane with autonomy in their carry-on.

The fact that I don’t hear more people talking about LA2028 and what that could look like in terms of participating countries, athletes and spectators is shocking to me. Could be a very successful games for US athletes 🀨

I long ago stopped caring about the predictable 2nd grade tweets from Trump. Honestly, they are boring. However, to the many fake religious people who think this is ok, you should stop pretending. If you enable this, don't stand around today saying "he is risen."

This is not normal. This government gets closer and closer every day to declaring war on its own people.

This post is a clear and direct statement of intention to defy the Supreme Court and end rule of law in the United States.

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism.

It’s disgusting and dangerous.

If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign.

Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness.

To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

MACK: I was laid off from HHS and now people aren’t getting social services, especially people with disabilities

BANKS: You probably deserved it

Just learned that the entire division of blood disorders at the CDC was put on administrative leave or terminated effective immediately.
