When Charlie Kirk, a commentator who stirred up hatred and prejudice was killed, the Trump government led a purge against anyone who commented on it in a way they didn’t like. When a beloved director & actor is brutally murdered, Trump mocks and criticises him just hours later. Revolting hypocrisy.

He says he is suing the BBC.

Perhaps he is, with a real claim in an actual court.

Or perhaps it is an AI law suit, or something.

A muslim intervened in the last shooting in Australia, a muslim intervened in the latest shooting in Australia and a muslim intervened in the train attack in the UK.

Are these all coincidences?

Or is it that muslims are just people and sometimes heroes like everyone else?

Congratulations to the Deep State on their cover-up on this footage, because I can guarantee you that any elected Republican asked about this – especially in relation to outrage at anyone not showing decorum over Charlie Kirk – won’t have seen it.
Trump doubles down on his Rob Reiner attack: "I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person... He became like a deranged person, Trump Derangement Syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country."

This line rankled in the Beeb's write-up of tributes to Rob and Michele Reiner.

It flows into Trump saying the deaths were "very sad", as if it were a tribute like the others.

And as for "a swipe" - 90% of Trump's post was mockery and boasting.

Last week Donald Trump was polling at 31%. Mocking Rob Reiner’s passing is going to send him into the 20’s, and his grip on power will be broken. All of a sudden everyone will admit they’ve always hated him.

Speaking ill of the dead is controversial, particularly when it was a violent death. It’s edgy; it’s sensitive; best avoided in most cases, etc.

Baselessly making another person’s murder *about yourself,* and then approving of it, is a different thing. That is delusional, narcissistic, sociopathic.

This morning the very evil President of the USA very predictably mocked the death of a good man. He did so to distract from his crimes, but also because he’s evil and can’t help rejoicing over the murder of his critics.

Go ahead, Donold. Have your fun, when life is done, a nightmare waits for you.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

In late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention facilities to provide ground truth for our work - he provided the first corroborating evidence for many sites.

He escaped to the US - then ICE detained him.
