I understand why some people don’t like Bluesky, and why some people still use Twitter/X but ultimately you gotta leave the site that is churning out unprecedented amounts of free, customized CSAM for its users. You gotta stop using Twitter now, guys. Sorry. It’s time.

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

The United States war machine is the embodiment of evil—truly sinful in a biblical sense. A corrupt money machine that runs on blood and fear.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
