@Conservatives Swap unions for members of the public and you'll find they are the same people. Shot yourself in the foot here. Get back to serving your corporate paymasters.

Banned for promoting self harm.
Musk and his cohorts are a joke.

A simple guide to trickle-down economics.
To Elon Musk, "free speech” = unchecked harassment of women, LGBTQ people, and poc by trolls, incels and white supremacists debating their human rights to feel alive in their otherwise dead lives. open season or threats of violence, cyberstalking and revenge porn, disinformation about abortion and dangerous conspiracy theories run amok.

1. Photo filters
2. Aspect ratio cropping
3. Options to select your creative license
