This is actually perfect. The emptiness makes it look as ridiculous and wasteful as it is.

RFK Jr. says there aren't autistic poets. We asked an autistic poet. "I will challenge RFK Jr. to write a poem as good as me any day of the week."

RFK Jr. says there are no autistic poets, so we interviewed one.

Hear from Elizabeth McClellan, @popelizbet.bsky.social, an award-winning poet, attorney, and legal educator based in Memphis, Tennessee.

I'm sure Trump and RFK Jr. will blame autism on "woke" parents. Just watch.

Ross will be the official drug dealer representative of the White House. Trump only chose the best.

There is a reason TikTok is so good at figuring out what you want to see, and why itโ€™s better than everything else: itโ€™s a weapon, and the best weapon is one you donโ€™t know exists, or worse, one you think you canโ€™t live without

Elon will be on board to own it. The far right propaganda will be amplified and we will be all fucked.

Canadian MP SMACKS DOWN Trump and UNITES CANADA
YouTube video by MeidasTouch Canadian MP SMACKS DOWN Trump and UNITES CANADA

Canada will never kiss the ring of the gangster from Mar-a-Lago.
I'm proud of our first responders in the California fires.
We are facing an existential threat to democracy, to the international order and from rage politics in our own country.
Canada needs to unite.

Texas, Arizona arming Mexican drug cartels The U.S. and Mexico are working closer than ever to trace the origin of guns used in drug cartel massacres and other crimes south of the border.

The number of gun trace requests from the Mexican government went up 25% between 2021-2023.

Investigators found that 76% of those guns were sold in Southwest border states, Texas and Arizona.

Most ended up in crime scenes in Mexican provinces besieged by transnational criminal organizations.
