1/8 Trump just told Americans who have bodies that sometimes get sick (and prefer not to die) to #GoFundYourself!

WaPo quote: βA Washington Post review of Kennedy's public appearances found he also promoted these centers as particularly beneficial for
Black youth.
"Every Black kid is now just standard put on Adderall, on SSRIs, benzos which are known to induce violence and those kids are going to have a chance to go somewhere and get re-parented, to live in a community where there'll be no cellphones, no screens. You'll actually have to talk to people," Kennedy said in a June 2024 episode of the 19Keys online showβ
Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. Iβm sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get βre-parentedβ???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI

Assuming all fanfiction is written poorly really just shows you've never been caught in the chokehold of a 150k slowburn that changed the course of your life at 2:40am written by someone whose username has 4 Zs in it and they only wrote one fic and then vanished like an ethereal legend.
