My stepchildren's secondary school still has an account on X. I have just emailed them, saying that it is not appropriate for an educational institution to be part of that ecosystem.
Maybe you could do the same for other schools and institutions.

I tell you what, guys. If you want to do numbers, be a non-American and post about American gun laws. Madness will come your way. Deranged madness. Also, a lot of decent folks who know we, the rest of the world where we don’t have regular massacres of innocents, are right. The futility of it all.

Officer 2: “Get out of here!”
The confusion is not surprising. The shooting officer had his phone out too.
This deserves a clear and fair investigation

So what type of tyranny finally triggers all those 2nd amendment gun rights guys to start showing up?
Unprovoked kidnapping of a world leader and claiming control of a country? No?
How about murdering U.S. mothers in the streets? Maybe?
That had to be at the top of their lists.

‼️Russia confirms Oreshnik strike, says it's in response to the nonexistent "91 drones" attack on Putin's residence.
The Kremlin is getting desperate as allies disappear, their economy crumbles, and the US ignores their threats.
Their fear of what's coming is obvious.

Week 1. We invaded Venezuela. We killed the ACA subsidies. We destroyed the Kennedy Center. We murdered a woman in cold blood over deportations. We threatened Greenland, now we are offering them $100,000 per person to allow us to take over their country.
First 7 days. Can we survive a year of this?
