We can’t accept this.

These caged children are someone’s little babies. They are so young and do not deserve this.

I'm going to ask this question now and many times in the future.

Are we REALLY going to celebrate America's 250th Anniversary while Democracy ends??

Let's not wait until July 4th to figure out how to take our country back.

Musk turned on a feature on X that showed country of origin.

He disabled it a couple hours later when it was revealed how many MAGA accounts aren't in the U.S.

Foreign bot disinformation machines exposed.

Seems like Twitter could have done that feature 15 years ago & we wouldn't be here today.
