What's it gonna take for everyone to realize the occupant of the white house is fundamentally anti-American?
Trump thinks anyone protesting must be from another country when the right and will to protest our own government is a foundational American value.

Neither Deepseek or Metas models are opensource. They are openweights. Don’t let them redefine what open source means.
Friends, for something to be open source, we need to see

1. The data it was trained & evaluated on

2. The code

3. Model architecture

4. Model weights.

DeepSeek only gives 3, 4. And I'll see the day that anyone gives us #1 without being forced to do so, because all of them are stealing data.

Check out the People’s March in Washington D.C. today.

Definitely looks like the crowd for the protest will be BIGGER than his inauguration crowd!

4 years ago Trump incited a deadly riot on our Capitol. He tries to tell you what you saw with your own eyes wasn't real, his associates deleted texts and told lies for him. The fact remains today- Donald Trump is a weak, cowardly traitor to our country.
