This article is incredibly damning of RFK Jr., as every single thing about him including his own actions and speeches and existence is.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."
Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.
It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

European Parliament Votes Overwhelmingly For "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women"
The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.

Honestly, if you are still on a Zuckerberg platform (Instagram, Facebook, Whatsapp) please consider dumping it like a lead brick. It's already too late, but do it anyway.
this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper.

On my way to a medical appointment just now, we drove past a middle school.
Kids outside, doing a walkout and protesting ICE presence here in Colorado AND in Minnesota.
I'm so very proud of them.

Again, it seems to need to be said:
Whenever you hear the talking heads speaking of "the economy", replace the phrase with "wealthy peoples' yacht money", and you'll get a much clearer idea of what's going on, and who benefits.

Basic math.
Good morning! Taxing the wealth of the richest 1% of Americans down to the median wealth of the next-richest 9% ($5.2 million per household) would free up $48 trillion. Redistributing that to the poorest 50% of Americans would give *68 million households* an average of *$700k per household*.

Our capitalists don’t envision automation as a bridge to human prosperity, otherwise they’d advocate for the types of fundamental societal changes that would make that possible such as UBI or investment in infrastructure through taxing their income. Their vision for automation is a robot with a whip

I must not discourse. Discourse is the mind-killer. Discourse is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face discourse. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. Where the discourse has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Trump's pumping agents onto ICE’s payroll at record speed.
He's giving them a mere 47 days of training (Trump is the 47th President).
And he's sending them onto the streets with loaded guns and telling them they have full immunity.
Congress should not be funding ICE’s abuses.

Abolish ICE.
There’s no reforming it.
There’s no compromise.
There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

How about legislation banning (in totality) the use of chemical weapons on civilians in the U.S. and its territories? L
It's not legal in war; why should it be legal to tear gas American children?
