This is what democracy looks like. 11 3rd graders and kindergarteners walked out of class in Encino, CA to remember the 17 victims of Parkland & ALL victims of gun violence. They demand sensible gun laws now! #NationalSchoolWalkout #NationalWalkoutDay #neveragain #enough

Crazy scene in Rochester this morning. ICE showed up to arrest a roofing crew working on a house. They refused to get down from the roof. Residents / community leaders gathered to protest. Lawyers demanded warrants. ICE agents eventually left.

Iceland is the world’s biggest consumer of SSRIs. They’ve had less than 10 gun homicides since 2020; in the US, there have been over 90,000.
Japan is one of the largest video game markets in the world. They have 10 gun deaths per year; the US has nearly 50,000.
It’s the guns.
RFK JR on Mass Shootings: There are many things that happened in the 1990’s that could explain these. One is the dependence on psychiatric drugs… there could be connections with video games
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
RFK Jr presents a disproven theory for mass shooters;
Video games have been proven time & time again to not influence violent behavior.
This claim has been around for almost 40 years & has been repeatedly disproven.

JUST AIRED
Very disturbing interview on Jen Psaki with Dr Demetre Daskalajis who resigned from CDC
He stated that RFK Jr agenda is based in eugenics where the strong will survive and thus be “selected” to reproduce … and the weak will get left to die which is why Kennedy is defunding feeding needy children … where have we heard this eugenics theory before ?
“There is a fundamental scary thing happening here and we are trying to raise the red flags so people know ”

You know how people called women hysterical for predicting the right wing would take down Roe v. Wade (which they've done) and then attack access to birth control (which they're doing)? Hear me when I say that women's very right to vote is next.

Texas Democrats get 45% of the vote.
Under the GOP’s new gerrymandered map, they’d get just 21% of the seats.
This is not democracy.

The IRS's free tax filing tool is now reportedly "gone," according to Trump's IRS chief.
This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file.
Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.
See how this works?

Trump had never admitted any link between himself, his properties, and Virginia Giuffre, until now. By saying she was taken from his spa, he confirms her account and contradicts his past denials.

Whoa! Jon Ossoff went there: "Did anyone really think the sexual predator president who used to party with Jeffrey Epstein was going to release the Epstein files?"
Amanda retweeted
Here is President Trump’s full, unedited response to this question about the Epstein files, where he expresses hesitation about fully releasing the files because there’s a lot of “phony stuff” in them that could wrongly implicate innocent parties.
He does say he wants to know more about how Epstein died, but Trump was president for 529 days after Epstein died.

🚨BREAKING: Cal State LA just moved classes online and let faculty work remotely, not for a storm, not for COVID, but because ICE is in the area.
Let that sink in, an entire university is treating immigration enforcement like a public health crisis.
A country built by immigrants is now treating its newest class of immigrants like second-class citizens. From Ellis Island to ICE raids, the flag waves the same, but the welcome mat keeps getting pulled.

SHOCKING NEW PHOTO FROM OCTOBER 7:
Surrounded by terrorists, wearing only in his underwear, this harrowing image was taken moments after the abduction of Yagil Yaakov from Kibbutz Nir Oz.
Yagil was just 13 years old at the time. He was kidnapped along with his father, Yair (“Yaya”) Yaakov, who was later murdered by Hamas in captivity. His body was recently returned to Israel for burial.
Never forget that this war began with Hamas kidnapping children, raping women and burning entire families alive.
