Hmm. Extremely controversial. Someone who a lot of people don't like.
Reporter: "Your Royal Highness, U.S. intelligence concluded that you orchestrated the brutal murder of a journalist..."

Trump: "He's done a phenomenal job. You're mentioning someone who was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about…things happen."

Happy Cloudflare Outage-mas! It’s one of our favorite holidays over here on Bluesky.

On this day, we should remind you that almost 20% of the internet uses Cloudflare, despite years of reporting covering their platforming of white supremacists.

Maybe it shouldn’t have such a large market share?

Dec 2018 email to Epstein from unknown: “It will all blow over! They’re really just trying to take down Trump and doing whatever they can do to do that …!”

Epstein: “yes thx. its wild. because I am the one able to take him down.”

I AM THE ONE ABLE TO TAKE HIM DOWN.
Eight months later, he was dead.
Look at the screenshot Trump is posting.

“If Jeffrey Epstein had any dirt on Donald Trump, he would have had great leverage in the criminal case against him at the time he died.”

That’s, um… precisely why people think Epstein didn’t kill himself? Like, that’s the whole idea very nicely summarized?

I'm no lawyer, but when the president is defending the elevation of literal Hitler lovers, no one should ever take anything his regime says, pretending to care about antisemitism, seriously. Hope every university in America gets that.

Trump’s pardon of Changpeng Zhao, the Binance founder who enriched the Trump family, is one of the most corrupt acts by any U.S. president in recent history.

This is by far the most corrupt administration in American history.
It makes what happened in those ten years after the Berlin Wall came down in post-Soviet countries seem lame. They have taken what Putin does, and run with it.
President Trump’s pardon of Changpeng Zhao came shortly after Zhao’s company, Binance, helped catapult the Trump family’s cryptocurrency firm, World Liberty Financial, into international recognition. The firm is a major source of the Trump family's fortune. 60 Minutes reports, Sunday. 60Minutes.com

Trump’s perversions have always been in our faces and obvious. So if you voted for him, some serious self-reflection may not cure your hate, but might bring you closer to a connection with reality. #Rape #ChildAbuse

I saw a video of a Black person yet again using Leviticus 18:22 to justify their homophobia.

I will never ever understand this. If they had just moved on to the next Leviticus chapter 19.
They will come across 19:20, which was the scripture slave owners used to justify raping slaves.

She may indeed be getting threats- and that's not OK.
Nor was it ok when she chased a kid down the street calling him a crisis actor.
She knew he was a man who gets his way by threats & intimidation of weaker people, and helped make a man like that the President of the United States.
