Now, to be clear, not for the propaganda, because that's, of course, protected by the First Amendment, but for this coordinated interference.
You know, it's hard to determine how these materials impact public perception.
You have to try to divine whether it's an organic reaction to circulating video or if it's just effective propaganda.
But I will say that going by the trends on social media, particularly on platforms like Instagram, it looks pretty effective.
Just to give you a couple of examples, I spent the weekend reviewing the accounts of a lot of major fashion and lifestyle influencers, none of whom typically post political content.
And a lot of them are repeating the abolish ICE talking points nearly verbatim.
And they're also linking to fundraising efforts to these groups.
One prominent example, plastic surgeon Dr. Tony Youn, for instance, urged his 1.6 million followers not to believe, quote, lying politicians.
And he said that immigration enforcement in Minneapolis is not OK.
And then also some major fashion influencers like Rach Parcell, Julia Berltheimer and Nina Evans.
I'm sure you know these names, John.
Yeah.
They all have many millions of followers from various accounts, and they're also promoting these anti-ice sentiments that echo breakthrough news.
So that kind of thing, I would guess, is likely swaying those who may not be following these issues very closely, but who are forming an opinion based on their favorite influencers.
My pleasure.
So first, it will see the number of deaths exceed the number of births for the first time in modern history.
And then second, a third of the babies conceived will be aborted.
Finally, the number of migrants in its population, 10.9 million, will roughly equate to the total number of children aborted.
10.7 million since the procedure became legalized in 1968.
Then pushing this issue even further, members of parliament recently voted to decriminalize abortion up to the point of birth.
