Among some things I agree with here (merit, accountability, free speech) and many that I don’t, I am saddened that @vivekgramaswamy attacks science with “climatism” and “COVIDism” and even proclaims “ivermectin working or not” as a mere detail.
We’ve celebrated our “diversity” so much that we forgot all the ways we’re really the same as Americans, bound by ideals that united a divided, headstrong group of people 250 years ago. I believe deep in my bones those ideals still exist. I’m running for President to revive them.

One of the greatest presidential speeches of all time!
President Ronald Reagan's final speech was a love letter to immigrants: 'Anybody from any corner of the world can come to America to live and become an American. We draw our people, our strength, from every country and every corner of the world.'

📚 Education should be the pathway to building generational wealth, not setting us financially behind, as @The_emancipator summed it up. How can we advance our wealth & knowledge without letting predatory systems take advantage of us & sink us into debt? bit.ly/3khzD8l

This toxic blend of racism, conspiracism, and gun violence is domestic terrorism.
FBI Buffalo field office says it is working Buffalo mass shooting jointly with Buffalo PD as a case "of racially-motivated violent extremism"

La diva de la musique malienne nous enchante une fois de plus par ton talent. "Timbuktu" à écouter sans modération.
Mon nouvel album "Timbuktu" est officiellement sortie! J'ai besoin de chanter Timbuktu d’abord pour me libérer moi-même, puis aussi pour soutenir et montrer au reste du monde à quel point Tombouctou est précieux. Lien: WorldCircuit.lnk.to/OSTimbuk… #Timbuktu #OumouSangare #NewMusic
