I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

People are leaving Twitter because it’s not fun anymore and no one is obligated to be on a platform they don’t enjoy.

Matt Gaetz has withdrawn his name, the full police report on Pete Hegseth allegedly assaulting a woman has been released, and new audio just came out of RFK Jr. calling Trump supporters “belligerent idiots.”
Safe to say things are already going terribly for Trump!

With a fully remote team of just 20 employees, Bluesky has surpassed 20 million users in its first year since opening to the public and is stealing thunder from rivals hundreds of times its size.

The Gaetz nomination proves yet again what too many Americans forgot between 2020 and 2024 - that Trump is a bumbling, incompetent fool.

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me.
I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc
