Trump, Musk, and the GOP killed hundreds of thousands of kids around the world.
That should be a major story and talking point.
They cut USAID to "save" from "waste," but gave 40 billion to Argentina and threw a Great Gatsby party and let Kash Patel burn our money for his honeypot GF.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.
The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.
Where is the MAHA outcry?

We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way to get rid of Citizens United. Let me explain. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get-rid-of-citizens-united

The next AOC? Young Democrats are aiming to topple incumbents inside their own party
Frustrated with their party's response to President Trump, a wave of young Democrats are challenging incumbents in safe blue districts, hoping to mirror Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's upset win in 2018.

The teenager told officers he was a U.S. citizen, but an officer broke the car’s driver’s side window and detained him. In a video, the boy can be heard telling an officer that he is a citizen, to which the officer replies, “Get out of the car” and “I don’t care.”

Friends, this is a low hanging boycott action.
Similar to Hulu and Disney+ actions.
You can help turn the tide and it will make other platforms think twice.

Can't ICE borrow one of these data centers to house all the footage of their violent, illegal actions? Don't they have a $147 billion budget.
Feds now claim a "system crash" that happened immediately after ICE was sued is the reason why 10 days of footage from inside the Broadview Detention Center has been lost.
Unreal hearing on this earlier:

The government also said "we don't have resources" to retain all footage and that plaintiffs could supply "endless hard drives that we could save things to."
