This doesn't happen every day.

Free speech isn't and shouldn't be a matter of left v. right. It's among the most fundamental of American values.

If our laws depend on Trump’s voluntary compliance — and Congress won’t lift a finger to defend the laws it has passed — then the president is unleashed. We are left to the whims of a man who cares about only himself, a man who is willing to discard any law or standard to satisfy his lust for power.

Countless Americans are enduring Trump’s vengeance. Far too few experience Christian kindness. It is a great tragedy of our time that so many Christians see Trump’s malice as an instrument of God’s divine plan. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/o...

Sooooooo - according to #WhackJobRFKJr, can you please tell US citizens what DOESN'T cause #Autism and save us all a lot of time?

ScubaSuzyQ💙🦋 @susanmcgraw88.bsky.social · 1d

True! RFK, Jr DID say this!
He should be forced to resign. He is incompetent and mentally deranged. He is harming Americans with his false conspiratorial theories.

RFK Jr. said children circumcised early had 'double' rate of autism linked to Tylenol use

The U.S. secretary of health and human services cited a preprint study to back his claim.

The people who want violent protests to happen are Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Tom Homan, and other senior appointees in his admin. They are doing everything they possibly can to provoke people to violence and it is obvious that is what they hope for daily.
