Certainly took them long enough...

A common theme of Trump II is an utterly cowardly class of elites while everyday regular people have risen to the occasion

I prefer not to give my money to the creatively bankrupt, thanks - particularly when they're fckn Zionists.

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

Youtube has announced that all low-res videos (i.e. older ones) are to be automatically AI upscaled to HD.

Same!! I saw a complete unused set on eBay a few years ago but just missed it by seconds 😭
