The White House 
* @WhiteHouse • 4h 

Christopher Columbus is so back.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonald Trump
I'm bringing Columbus Day back from the ashes.
The Democrats did everything possible to destroy Christopher Columbus, his reputation, and all of the Italians that love him so much. They tore down his Statues, and put up nothing but "WOKE," or even worse, nothing at all! Well, you'll be happy to know, Christopher is going to make a major comeback. I am hereby reinstating Columbus Day under the same rules, dates, and locations, as it has had for all of the many decades before!

just had a surreal experience at urgent care where i paid $100 to explain my issue to a doctor and then watched him nod, turn to his computer, navigate to some kind of chatgpt website for doctors, chat with it about my issue, and report back the conclusion to me verbally

For the Biden Campaign, Gaza Is a PR Annoyance to Manage, Not a Genocide to End Israeli propaganda is full-blown alternate reality. Biden White House propaganda is something much more sinister.

15 months of genocide thanks to a feckless and immoral American administration

We can talk about everything terrifying & infuriating with Trump all day. I certainly could. But you are rapidly losing moral high ground if you can’t say point blank that the suffering Biden willfully inflicted on Palestinians every step of the way isn’t soulless & inexcusable

A Deadly Apathy | David Shulman A blank indifference to cruelty and atrocity as a normative mode of waging war has infected Israel's collective conscience.

love the idea that facebook currently operates as some kind of elite liberal walled city and not just a place for divorced uncles to share racist screeds and nursing home bound grandmothers to get their daily dose of "jesus doing parkour" ai slop from an indian content farm
