UPDATE:

After WIRED reported on the spike in people joining the 'Leucovorin for Autism' group on Facebook, Meta deleted the group.

A source confirmed to me that the decision was taken to delete the group for "promoting prescription drugs"

a very good blog from @makenakelly.bsky.social that gets at the core of the Trump administration: Trump wants to take over American cities, and influencers are giving him the fuel to make it happen.

I've been thinking about how this is maybe the biggest propaganda arm of the administration. Between the antifa roundtable this week and Benny Johnson's remote shoots with Kristi Noem, it's only gaining more momentum.

Great article:
