Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.

They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

Another mass shooting—this time at Brown University. When Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban was in place, mass shooting deaths dropped by 43%. After George W. Bush and Republicans let it expire, deaths skyrocketed by 239%.

It’s the guns. No more thoughts and prayers.” They don’t stop bullets.

On the eve of the Sandy Hook anniversary, there has been another campus shooting. This time at Brown University.

To the people in power: this is your legacy.

Thirteen years. Thirteen years of dead children, traumatized students, shattered families — while you stall, deflect, and do nothing.
