I live in Oklahoma. 100% believe they will gladly put him on the ballot here.
In honor of sandwich guy getting out of his legal pickle, here is the original video synced with Freedom - George Michael 1990.
wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them? This is an insane person.
My 17 year old knows how to find actual scientific studies, read the summary and search for specific aspects of the study to learn how they determined the outcome. My 17 year old has a more secure understanding of the scientific process than RFK Jr. If he isn't stopped, Americans will die.

The way they are so comfortable lying about every single thing is wild.
After seeing this, I took my teen son on a trip down memory lane. His final thought “good for her.”
The young, progressive candidates that are being seen are showing up because they are LISTENING to the liberal/progressive/democratic voters who have been screaming into the void for years. Our existing "representation" and "leadership" is largely unrepresentative and should be primaried.
All of the insanity happening in the US spreads like a disease. Sorry your population is falling for the same hateful rhetoric and political propaganda that is working so well over here.
Just keep doubling down on the idiotic rhetoric. Why not?
A. We wouldn't believe anything she had to say in the first place because she's a known liar. B. We already know this admin will lie, cheat, and steal to turn public perception their way - releasing something they created will never be trustworthy.
Do they think there aren't new books being published every single day in every single genre? What in the world?
That man couldn't hang in a debate with Pete for a single minute. Things are going wrong because he never should have gotten a job with zero qualifications in the first place.
That is insanely on-brand, honestly.
Never more of a yes-man than Mullin.
All the best to you both! A clear picture of the kind of leaders we need the most in the US.
Cool, cool, cool. So no one can enlist in the military until 26? Driving? Drinking? Signing contracts of any kind? HOW ABOUT THE AGE OF CONSENT?!? DOES THAT NEED TO CHANGE TOO? How about in states where CHILD MARRIAGE is still legal???
My kids are both heavy readers - because I am. But they do gravitate to completely different genres and formats that I do. My oldest is an avid Manga reader and follows a lot of webcomics, too. My youngest reads and writes a lot of fanfic and reads history books for fun.
I just ask that there be a grace period where other citizens can cross into CA before they close their borders. It's been a fun experiment, USA, but maybe we should break up.
They all need shock collars that function based on standard BS lies they utter constantly. “Fake news” ZZZZZZzzzzzzzz. Someone pick her up and give the mic to the next one.
He sold vaccine cards and injected kids with saline so they thought they were vaccinated. There are no rules anymore
I'm a "blue dot in a red state" - the reddest state, maybe. The other Democrats I know here are with me when we say Mamdani is 1000% closer to what we're screaming for out here than almost any other Dem in office right now. Screw moving right to gain moderates, we want progressivism!
Completely tone deaf.
I keep hoping to wake up and see someone leak those files. I have zero doubt that the DOGE boys have copies of everything now saved outside federal networks. I can't stand Elon, but this is right up his alley - hack it and leak it!
Guards in CECOT pictures look so familiar. Why is that? Oh, wait. ICE "agents" running around covering their faces and ignoring the law. That's right.
Oklahoma NWS stations had mandatory “updates” during tornado season. That was fun. Our local guys said they weren’t asked or informed until the last minute.
You wouldn’t vacation in Dachau in 1935. Don’t vacation in Florida in 2025.
Freedom from kings. Freedom from fascism. Power to the people forever. ♥️ Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸
Trans rights are human rights.
Surprise surprise. A week after Sarah McBride gives cover fire for throwing trans people under the bus, some Dems are privately indicating they’ll capitulate on trans youth healthcare and citing the pseudoscientific Cass Report literally drafted in consultation with hate groups.
When liberal voters are out here talking about midterms, we aren't just talking about voting out the republicans, most of us are also voting out stagnant, deadweight, career democrats who no longer represent "we the people" and need to be primaried as well.
probably a good time to bring this back
Thankfuly the Thunder gave us a postive reason to be in the headlines... every other time people are talking about Oklahoma it's because of the dumbest s#it possible.
I already don't trust or like RFK Jr - sitting him next to Stitt makes it magnify. Stitt is trash and so is RFK. They both need to go.
Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952
he's right and he's right to say it
It will take decades for the embarassment to fade. Every developed nation is looking at us and laughing.
it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time
OK i’ve seen almost no media outlet pick up on the fact the Supreme Court ruling endorsed conversion therapy and opens a portal to the normalization of conversion therapy nationally so here’s a thread explaining how they did so, and why you should care (1/x)
Unmarked vehicles plowing into crowds and even just showing weapons reeks of fake cops. There are too many impersonators out there. If they want the public to move out of the way and "respect" them - they should be in a marked car and obeying their own laws.
trans people will always exist (laudatory) trans people will always exist (threatening) trans people will always exist (factual)
No one ever calls Elon out in any measurable way - or at least in a way that changes his behavior at all. The big difference is that Mike Lee is an elected official who should be held to a higher standard to keep that office. I'm a big fan of making recalls easier for the people to execute.
Exactly. This is inaccurate and misleading word choice - in media and in economics/politics. It gives the impression that the problem is scientific/medical when it is almost always social/financial in nature.
We need to be able to recall politicians at all levels. No idea how it would work, but this has become too common and they are far too confident in their position when they stab us in the back so visibly.
Congrats to that one trans athlete in becoming state champ by default I guess
If you're only following this "debate" through popular media you probably have the impression that studies on youth gender medicine are roughly split between benefits and harms. Nope! Nearly every study finds benefits. The "debate" is just a bunch of people going, "Those don't count."
She’s being kept alive because the state has an abortion ban. The family didn’t want this either. A directive can’t make a hospital break the law.
I read that article yesterday and checked the author because I wanted to find them on SM. Found you at the bottom and knew I already followed you! Thank you for your perspective and intelligently calling out transphobic nonsense every day!
I think this should carry all the way out - if ICE can mask in public spaces, so can everyone else.
As someone who buys a lot of both formats, this is amazing. Sometimes I can't take my physical book with me - being able to read on an app on my phone is really helpful!
🚨HIT THE PHONES TO SAVE MEDICAID - PLEASE AMPLIFY & ACT 🚨 TODAY the House will be marking up deeply unpopular massive Medicaid cuts. MANY GOP on the committee are in tight districts. Calls and pressure ARE effective here. Call today. Type your zip to get a script ⬇️ OcasioCortez.com/savemedicaid
That’s awesome - congrats!
I'd read it!
groceries are definitely on the rise. Electricity and natural gas are slightly higher, gasoline has stayed fairly steady. No impressive changes he's trying to claim. Egg prices have gotten better - but not because of him.
This is both insane and incredible. Incredibly insane, too, maybe. What a win for antivenin science though.
I am never flying into Reagan again at this rate. Damn.
💀💀💀
Okay. Some of you got the vaccine and some got placebo. We will now expose all of you to a dangerous disease and see who dies most often. Thanks for your sacrifice…
I would be dead. I have two kids and a gun. If someone breaks down the door in the dark, I shoot first. WTF
Is this what other countries felt like watching US elections? I have never been this invested in someone else’s election.
Good grief.
Oklahoma had a bill introduced like that - it never made it out of committee. Texas has a lot of romance authors and p0rn shops, I doubt it will pass there either
Because flags are what we’ve been missing…at the capitol… in the US where they are so hard to find.
Hope you recover quickly w no lingering issues.
There is a special place in hell for people like this.
He doesn’t even know the word stymied. Idk who writes for him but it’s insane that he’s allowed to just post whatever idiocy rolls around his brain at a given moment.
BuT hEr EmAiLs...
I'd like to see that breakdown against how much those same people pay into the system in taxes each year.
This
Choked on my coffee. Wasn't expecting that!
I couldn't care less what comes out of Rogan's mouth. But I guess it's good that something true and morally correct is actually making its way into the brains of his ignorant followers. He will never atone for sitting there with DT before the election. Waste of space.
Between China and Greenland and all of the Americans - pretty easy to see this is going to go over like a lead balloon. He has zero people skills and no one respects him. That being said, he can't do worse than Trump....
Amazing!
Right? And these 70 and 80 year olds who have the oddest collections and special interests they’ve held their whole life, rigid schedules and bedtimes, it’s almost like they would have been diagnosed but they masked and struggled through life instead…
That’s the easiest unfollow I’ve had today. Do better.
As the mother of two kids on the spectrum, RFKJr can f*#k all the way off. They are both straight-A students who will live fulfiling lives and, yes, they have both already been paying taxes. What a hateful, lying POS.
The real insanity is that you know the White House invited her to have this press conference there - otherwise we'd not be hearing from her. It isn't the mother of a murdered woman who is trying to twist this story, it's the Trump administration.
Unless we are extraditing according to laws in both countries, no one should be deported to a prison in another country period. Due process should be a given, but we don’t outsource incarceration where we can’t monitor the conditions. That’s BS.
Coming from the smuggest of all smug fu€ks
35% love the fact that he made them feel good about being racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, transphobic, lying, uneducated humans.
If the majority of the people coming into the country illegally were actually out there committing crimes - much less violent ones - they wouldn’t be working so hard to beat down doors and ambush visa holders on their way to citizenship hearings. Vance is a liar.
Every single time he says someone called him "sir," he's making it up.
Public sentiment has been forming without basically anything from the vast majority of elected democrats influencing it. They need to use every single tool in the toolbox, even if they don't think it will work. There is no worrying about reelection if we lose now. 100% effort or it's already over.
Exactly this. The constitution grants due process to anyone standing on US soil. Citizen or not. Depriving anyone of it is an affront to all of us.
I certainly hope that is reflected in the vote. Don't become part of the US - but don't become like the US either...
She needs the same lie-detecting shock collar that Trump does.
Shock collar. It goes off when he lies. Seriously, though, we all know he's an idiot but he absolutely says things he knows are not true and we have got to get over the fear of calling it out.
That is what I keep replying to things, too. Especially when people are arguing that citizens can't be "deported" without due process. My guy, anyone standing on US soil is owed due process under the constitution. They are already shitting on that while we stand here and watch. This is the endgame.
Talk about finally calling it like it is!
It’s human trafficking and it needs to be called that.
ISTG. Any LEO of any kind needs to be in uniform with name and badge visible and masks are not a freaking option. This is such complete BS. If they want to hide their faces, they should get another job.
I call BS on almost all of these stats. The specific mention of the scar on his ear is freaking hysterical too
I did the same. My teens write the same way. It doesn’t start as a draft, it just starts line by line and then I’m done.
