RFK, JR said kids w/autism don’t pay taxes, date, play baseball…Christopher is proof that’s a lie! Once non-verbal and prone to outbursts, now a high school graduate with a job. Why? Because his single mom had access to ABA therapies for him thru Medicaid. Wanna help kids, RFK? Hands off Medicaid!

They aim not just for the government, they aim for you all too. The question is how many millions need to go homeless or die till people rise up to really put an end to this insanity

As Russia has not.

Russia’s decision to delist the Taliban as a terrorist organization is not diplomacy, it is complicity. It legitimizes a regime that erases women from public life, enforces gender apartheid, and rules through repression. There is no strategic gain that justifies this betrayal.

The Anonymous : The hacking collective has released a cache of some 10 terabytes, which it says includes ā€œdata on all businesses operating in Russia, all Kremlin assets in the West, pro-Russian officials, Donald Trump, and more.
