that creepy pic of young trump biting his lip at an epstein party where the two of them leer creepily at too young women. Ground hog Punxsutawney Phil photoshopped in the back ground as a joke since he was mentioned in the epstein files. with so many millions of pages, I am probably in there somewhere.
I left the liberal Twin Cities and went to my super conservative, rural hometown to protest. I was not a paid protester but I did get a payday! #NoKings#FreedomOfSpeech

@DrALJONES - now spreading it myself. I cannot recommend this enough. A good summary of the history of Palestine, and specifically Gaza, giving much needed context to what happened on Oct 7. He also addresses the loss of freedom of speech in the US.
The U.S. Department of Defense wants to limit what journalists who cover the Pentagon can report, asking them to sign a pledge to only write about approved material. The Columbia Journalism Review reports on what it means, and how journalists and sources are reacting.
"MAGA is unlikely to dominate America’s media. Yet even if Mr Trump does not win his battle, America could still lose. In a fragmented attention economy the best way to break through is to call everything an apocalypse, urge revolution or denounce fascism. If all the rewards go to divisive political entertainment, then founding good government on a common understanding of facts becomes ever harder. America survived a partisan press in the 19th century; it will probably do so in the 21st. But the vaudevillisation of the public square is a heavy burden on an overburdened democracy."
@dangillmor Wow, not only will they be forbidden to report on issues the Trump-regime does not authorise, but they will not even be allowed to possess such information. What if they do, erase their memories? That's beyond censorship! #freedomofspeech#freedomofpress
I am a META employee, and I know for a fact that several corporations are working closely with the United States government.
The U.S. is not a safe jurisdiction.
We're not just targeting criminals or terrorists — we're targeting people. Everyday people. People like YOU — who choose to use a Fediverse site instead of one owned by an American corporation. YOU — who dare to think twice about your privacy and security.
And we're doing this while cracking down on everyone — even celebrities — who speak negatively about Charlie Kirk.
Wake up! You're standing in the fire, and it's time to get out of the building.
Title: "Ernst would like to speak to your manager" by Charl Landsberg (c) 2025
Four panels.
First panel: Comic depiction of Roets with him saying: "I'm going to make a list of every South African who made fun of Charlie Kirk and get them fired!"
Second panel: Charl shows up in a purple shirt and says: "Oh dear... let me put you through to my manager."
Third panel: Another Charl shoes up next to first Charl, second Charl wearing Red Shirt that reads "Charl Manager" with a tie and glasses: "Oh wow... Mr. Roets... you've given me a lot to think about but this goes beyond me. Let me call the team?"
Fourth Panel: Two more Charl's rock up. Third Charl has a green shirt that reads "Charl HR" and fourth Charl has a blue shirt that reads "Fuck ME! "It's Charl Again!" First Charl says: "We've decided you can go fuck yourself Ernst!" Fourth Charl says: "Charlie Kirk's grave is now a gender neutral toilet."
Below comic Editor's Note: "Editor's Note: 3 Things. 1: The Unemployment rate is 33%. 2: If Afriforum spent a fraction of their time helping people instead of being racist, maybe things might improve. 3: I never want to hear about 'freedom of speech' from these people ever again.
#Banksy is a genius. The more the government paints over the mural depicting a protester being brutally silenced by a judge, the more poignant its message becomes.
