Reporter: Was it your brain?
Trump: I have no idea what they analyzed, but whatever they analyzed, they analyzed it well. They said it was the best result they had ever seen.

People throw this cultural safety word around a lot.
So let’s make this really simple for the kids in the back stalls.
You need to listen more and talk less when you’re around Indigenous voices and cultural knowledge holders.
Not hard.

When children grow up with constant criticism, they don’t stop loving their parents — they stop loving themselves.
Love and forgiveness aren’t luxuries in parenting; they’re lessons in self-worth.
Kids don’t need perfect parents — they need repair, not rejection. 💛

Can't believe RFK Jr didn't win the Nobel Prize in Medicine for finding that Tylenol and circumcision cause autism.
Decades of studies run by the most preeminent scientists in the world have failed to find what someone with no medical training discovered in a few months.
