RFK Jr. says anyone who wants a covid shot can get one. Not these Americans.

Do NOT call the number below to report aliens but you should retweet it, skeet it, whatever, you know the drill, so others know not to call either.

Seriously, what if you travelled millions of light years only to be ratted out by some toad online ?

Jon Cooper @joncooper-us.bsky.social · Jun 11

I’m hearing rumors that thousands of people are calling the ICE tip line to report little green men and other aliens from outer space. That’s not why ICE set up this number, so you should absolutely NOT call that tip line to report those types of aliens. 👽

I repeat—do NOT call the below number! ☎️
