You are free to be fascist on Xitter but you are not free to point out fascism on Xitter
The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.
I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).
So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

Characterizing something as “fascism” is now grounds for suspension on X??? So much for their supposed love of “free speech”.

It’s important to realize that the subtext of Trump freaking out at Kaitlan Collins when she asks him what he’d say to the Epstein survivors is that she may in practice be asking what he’d say to the *Trump* survivors, and they both know that. A well worded question
This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.

Trump telling a woman reporter to smile more is not new. What is information here is him snarling like a cornered dog as she essentially asks what he would say to his and his dead friend’s victims about covering up what they did

He installed an incompetent and flaccid exec, made a series of dumb and venal decisions & sucked up to Trump to make yet another filthy dollar. He’s so poor, all he has is money and, let’s stop pretending, bad facial surgery that makes him look like he is in some bad remake of The Santa Clause.
