Hi
@HalieyWelchX
My $35,000 that I purchased of $Hawk is now $2,000 after 10 minutes of buying.

I am a huge fan of Hawk Tuah but you took my life savings.

I purchased your coin $Hawk that you were so excited about with my life savings and children’s college education fund as well.

You didn’t mention that you were going to buy 97% of the supply and sell it almost immediately to make a large profit.

If I would have known that information I would have not purchased your coin.

Please help me or who can I contact for refund? If not I will be forced to use leagal action.

My crypto representative
@cobie
will be in touch.

This meme made me laugh.

A meme with a character from Watchmen whose name I can’t remember, saying:

It is 1982. I am one year old. Tron bombs at the box office
It is 2010. I am
twenty-nine years old.
Tron bombs at the box office
It is 2025. I am
fourty-four years old.

it should be clear that the israeli govt doesn’t give a shit about the corpses just like it didn’t give a shit about the living hostages as it bombed and shot at them for two years and that this is just a pretext to resume death and destruction in gaza the israeli right is ideologically committed to

Telegram post from The Unapologetic Right of the Shadow, translated from Hebrew:

Rabbi Reuven Ben Uliel appealed to President Herzog to grant a pardon to his son Amiram, who was convicted in the Duma affair after undergoing torture in the Shin Bet as a balance for the release of hundreds of terrorists in the hostage deal: "Mr. President, do justice amid a sea of injustice, justice for Amiram, justice for the State of Israel"

Hakeem Jeffries posted pictures of two Rep. Members posing with “Young Republicans” who were part of a racist text thread (as reported by Politico).

In response, Mike Davis (well-connected in Trump World & on the Hill) called Jeffries a “house slave” for George Soros - proving Jeffries’ point.

important note from libcrusher:

Reactivating temporarily to send a warning.
Since I got doxxed, it appears the same doxxing ring has targeted several other users. I learned that they were banned this week, only for Elon to, apparently, personally unban them. I feel obliged to warn everyone about my experience.

It wasn't just my personal information that got published. Someone, somewhere, got my passwords too. For my banking accounts, brokerage accounts, venmo, etc.
Most of which had different and unique passwords. All these attempts started the day i got doxxed, and have sporadically continued since.

If you know anyone who's been doxxed by this group, you need to have them change all their passwords on every website immediately. Ensure 2FA and any other security measures are in place everywhere.
And, wherever possible, document and report it. Frankly, if you're a lefty of any note, do it now too

If anyone was also a victim of this or knows someone who was, there are ways to reach me. I wish I could go into more details right now. But until that time comes, protect yourself.

I will be deactivating in 20 minutes.
Hopefully, that's enough time for the warning to get out.
