Elon Musk publicly slandering that cave diver as a "pedo guy" after he begged Jeffrey Epstein for island party invites is just incredible

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.

Decide. Who are you?

DJ Trump

Paedophile
In the newly released epstein dump, Trump hosted parties at Mar a Lago, where he'd sexually assault kids

He would then auction them off to be sexually assaulted by other guests that included Elon Musk, Allan Dershowitz & wait for it..his own kids

The DOJ deleted the pages

Donald Trump and Pam Bondi once again violated the Constitution.

They’re wasting your tax dollars arresting journalists — while protecting pedophiles and the murderers of Renée Good and Alex Pretti.

That’s authoritarian bullshit.

I adored her. Everything I ever saw her in, she was perfection, though never remotely the same.

I'm actually so sad. Over a stranger.

Can't help but feel like headlines like this are designed to vilify fat people.

It's cheaper to do this than to deal with the comorbidities of obesity.

I analysed the DoJ’s immigration chatbot for @iccl.bsky.social and the amount of seriously wrong information it gave was shocking even to me. The idea that people fleeing persecution would be expected to rely on a chatbot in lieu of actual legal advice is 😱😱😱

Chatbots considered for providing legal counselling to people seeking asylum, documents suggest
The Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission doesn’t believe chatbots are suitable “in provision of legal counselling”, a spokesperson said.

We learn from history not by shelving it like a historic artifact, but by seeing its relevance for what we do today. And for this, a comparison (again, this is not ranking) is necessary.

With all respect, I feel we owe it to Holocaust victims to remind us & others of them when we see the same or similar threats rising or crimes being committed.

To put it bluntly, I believe Anne Frank would have wanted, even demanded we remember her when we see other children treated that way.

Yep.

It's full blown fascism.

The need to try soften or to pretend it won't get to THAT are frankly irresponsible and short sighted.

It will, especially if you think it won't.

On a political, ideological, & propaganda level the parallels between Nazism & Trumpism are undisputable, in my view. Agenda 2025 lays out the plan, we watch it enacted. I frankly do not see the difference, & that's before the perpetrators' copying of old slogans. The ideology is the same.

People do NOT get kudos for calling the fire brigade when the building is entirely consumed and past saving.

Trump trying to distance himself from the Trump administration
ABC: Noem said Pretti committed an act of domestic terrorism. Stephen Miller labeled him a domestic terrorist. Does the president agree?

There's going to be a civil war in the US, isn't there?

It's literally a fascist state, but the rest of the world won't go to war with the US to stop them. It's going to have to be from within.

If ever there was a headline that sums up the disgusting, genocidal hatred that is the Israeli regime, it's this.

Imagine this headline but it said "just for Jews" or "just for black people" or "just for women".

They are Nazi's. And they're planning death camps.

This is exactly where Maga is at.

They say that you'll have to rip their guns from their cold, dead bodies, but also, if someone has a gun, doesn't brandish it, the feds remove the gun, it's perfectly ok to shoot someone dead...

America is a fascist state.
“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

This happened to me on the other place. The viral thing. Not the wasps.

0/10 would not recommend
who the fuck WANTS their posts to go viral, have you ever had that actually happen? it's like getting a winning pull on a slot machine if wasps started pouring out the bottom instead of quarters

Don't ever buy anything from Rathwood, certainly not furniture.

3 and a half months waiting for a bed. Got 1 of 4 boxes after 6 weeks. Nothing since.

Called, they wanted to get UPS to find it and to leave me waiting weeks more, rather than shipping what I'm missing.

Asked for a refund.
