We spent years being manipulated by conservatives with the ear of establishment centrists and liberals into addressing a fake free speech crisis, precisely so people could be punished for speaking out against perhaps the most contemporaneously well-documented genocide in history

A major earthquake hit Myanmar yesterday. The death toll is already over 1,000 and will grow quite larger. The primary US response organization-US Aid- has been ended by this psychopath.

How dare you FOTUS blame Ukraine for the Russian invasion! Have you looked at the destruction and deaths of Ukrainian people? And the many Ukrainians who had to flee for their lives? Someone has got to put a muzzle on that idiot!
