Elon and his X-Twitter bots are busy whining about how the EU's lawsuit against X is unfair and about free speech, but as usual, they are lying. This is what the EU suit is really about.

They divide us so that we do not UNITE against them & TAKE BACK ALL THAT BELONGS TO US.

Being undocumented is a civil offense, not a criminal one. Trespassing, vandalism, & shoplifting are criminal offenses, yet, thankfully, we don’t have violent squads of masked goons terrorizing our communities for those *real* crimes. Wake up, America.

Nursing home care will deteriorate across the country in the name of profit.
Cannot overstate how dangerous this is.
HHS quietly rescinded the rule that required a minimum number of staff to be present at Skilled Nursing Facilities, Nursing Homes , stating Bidens rule disproportionately burden Facilities. Be aware. Part of the elimination of people who cost money. Nothing is more precious than money

There are so many holes in DHS’s story it’s nuts. They say this woman was driving her boyfriend’s car, who they claim is undocumented.
ICE pulls her over, see she’s alone, know they are looking for a man, and still handcuff her while she screams “I am a US citizen,”.
