Most think this is redacted but I can plainly read; “Trump and Epstein’s rich friends trafficked and raped children for years.” in the first line.

I asked Trump AI. This checks out.
The White House today announced that, as the measure of the deep respect in which Donald Trump is held by a grateful nation, the President is to be named after him and, henceforth, he is to be referred to as Donald Donald Trump Trump.

⭕« SI ON S’ARRÊTE, TOUT S’ARRÊTE »

Manifestation dans #Paris du Mouvement des Solidarités pour la journée internationale des migrants. La foule réclame la régularisation des sans-papiers et dénonce des politiques racistes mises en place par l’Etat.

Only a person easily bribed would think that everyone else is easily bribed. $1776 to the soldiers. $1500 to you, to cover a lifetime of medical expenses. $2000 tariff refund.
A man with billions of dollars thinks you can be bought for 2 grand.

“Climate action” is just another way to say “we want our beautiful complex planet to continue to be a good place to live, and to continue to be both beautiful and complex”. So much climate damage comes from assuming that Earth is simple, that it is easy to control and that it will bend to our will.

Renaming the Kennedy Center, our national fine arts center, after such a coarse, lowbrow, and ignorant buffoon is America at its very stupidest.

Trump signed an executive order to prevent states from regulating AI.

He is stopping states from protecting you from unfair consumer practices like AI-fueled price gouging and data centers that are raising electricity costs.

Who does this benefit other than Big Tech executives?

The Australian response to the recent massacre, to silence criticism of the genocide and ethnic cleansing committed by Israel, is just another expression of the imperialist, settler-colonialist and ultimately racist mindset: Western lives (Israeli lives) matter, but Arab and Muslim lives do not.

Every accusation is an admission, the same as the IDF and the "human shields" claim.

Joke of the day : "ICE holds its employees to the highest standards of professionalism and takes seriously all accusations of inappropriate conduct" -ICE spokesperson after one of their officers is revealed to be a white supremacist

If they held their agents accountable, there wouldn't be any left.

Governors nation wide should send word to the State and Local Police to arrest ICE on sight. If they resist, then their National Guard should be mobilized to bring this terrorist Gestapo under control. American Communities should be protected.

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.

Eight people detained for allegedly protesting in support of Palestine are currently undertaking the largest hunger strike in UK prisons in over 40 years. The strikers need international solidarity to show the world they are not alone.
