Listen, all Iโm saying is that weโve seen more pictures of Donald Trump partying with Jeffrey Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell than we have of Donald Trump playing with his children Barron & Tiffany.
The EU's prosecutor said Tuesday it has launched a formal investigation into a defunct far-right group, which included Marine Le Pen's National Rally, over the alleged misuse of European Parliament funds. According to the reports by a consortium of European media, the bulk of the allegedly misused funds benefited companies belonging to a former advisor to Le Pen and his wife.

Now in College, #LudditeTeens Still Donโt Want Your Likes
Three years after starting a club meant to fight #SocialMediaโs grip on young people, many original members are holding firm and gaining new converts.
By Alex Vadukul Jan. 30, 2025
"Biruk Watling, a college sophomore wearing a baggy coat and purple fingerless gloves, walked the chilly campus of Temple University in #Philadelphia on a recent afternoon to recruit new members to her club. She taped a flier to a pole: '#JoinTheLudditeClub For #MeaningfulConnections.' Down the block, she posted another one: 'Do You Desire a Healthier Relationship With Technology, Especially Social Media? The Luddite Club Welcomes You and Your Ideas.'
"When a student approached, Ms. Watling dove into her pitch.
"She pulled out a #FlipPhone, mystifying her recruit.
"'We use these,' she said. 'This has been the most freeing experience of my life.' If Ms. Watling had a missionaryโs zeal, it was because she wasnโt just promoting a student club, but an approach to modern life that profoundly changed her two years ago, when she helped form the Luddite Club as a high school student in New York.
"But that was then, back when things were simpler, before she had embarked on the more independent life of a college student and found herself having to navigate QR codes, two-factor-identification logins, dating apps and other digital staples of campus life.
"The #LudditeClub was the subject of an article I wrote in 2022 โ a story that, ironically, went viral. It told of how a group of teenage tech skeptics from Edward R. Murrow High School in Brooklyn and a few other schools in the city gathered on weekends in Prospect Park to enjoy some time together away from the machine.
"They #sketched and #painted side by side. They read quietly, favoring works by #Dostoyevsky, #Kerouac and #Vonnegut. They sat on logs and groused about how #TikTok was dumbing down their generation. Their flip phones were decorated with stickers and nail polish.
"Readers inspired by their message responded in hundreds of emails and comments. Reporters from Germany, Brazil, Japan and elsewhere flooded my inbox, asking me how to reach these students who were so hard to track down online. Snarky Reddit threads and think pieces sprouted. #RalphNader endorsed the club in an opinion essay, writing: 'This is a rebellion that needs support and diffusion.'"
"Itโs really important for a kid to be left alone"- When #TaikaWaititi made his feelings clear about the role of tech in children's lives
By Sourav Chakraborty Modified May 03, 2025 04:54 GMT
" 'Exactly, now theyโve all got iPads and itโs done for them! I think itโs really important for a kid to be left alone and left to figure it out for themselves how to pass the time. As a kid, I spent so much time bored and coming up with ideas of how to do things, so Iโd write stories or Iโd draw pictures or invent worlds through drawing or just in my head, just thinking about things. I think that a lot of my creativity has really come from being bored.' " [SO TRUE!!!]
Taika Waititi has built an impressive career as a filmmaker and actor, working across various genres. He has earned major awards, including an Academy Award, a BAFTA, and a Grammy.
Hi, I'm Owen, he/him, a 40-something queer geek on the autism spectrum based near London, GB (for now). I work in civic tech during the day and Queering Wikipedia during my spare time, plus watching lots of film and TV and reading lots of queer books. I'm polyamorous, married to a bi woman, live with 2 cats & I have a boyfriend who lives too damn far away.
>and Queering Wikipedia during my spare time >I use my spare time to set homosexuality-inducing landmines on Wikipedia because I know children will come across them and end up a failed faggot like myself
>I'm polyamorous, married to a bi woman >I get fucked around on by a dyke bitch with a nosering that ironically is a symbol of control for cattle who convinced me her happiness was based around my total inadequacy as a partner and I've developed a perverse sense of joy around how I get fucked around on, having convinced ourselves that we both are "free"
>& I have a boyfriend who lives too damn far away. >Dopamine processing is my entire life and I suck cocks and am gay and am a faggot and am also a homosexual who likes dicks I am mentally ill
No you're a faggot who shares his wife with other dudes. Stop being a faggot. If you're gonna be poly, be a polygamist but oh wait you can't because you're too busy sucking dicks with your ass to look at women

So this meat tastes good, but I called $$$$$ to see how their meat was treated before the animal was killed packaged and sent here. An extremely contradictory and dodgy phone call. First I was told the meat was "natural," so that sounds ok, the lady told me the animals were treated respectably, and they weren't given pesticides.
Do these bluecry douchebags have nothing better to do than harrass a butcher shop?
If your a fucking vegan don't go to the butcher shop!
@Arthur_500 Just a small factoid, the vegamites keep telling us red meat is bad for our health. The nation with the highest red meat consumption per capita is Japan. The nation with the longest life expectancy is Japan. You can buy this crap and eat Bill Gates artificial meat if you like, I'll pass.

The fiscal hawks never for a moment think of the absurd amount of money being spent to terrorize civilians, children, harass familiesโall to satisfy the ego of an aspiring fascist. This is not freedom. This is tyranny. And unsurprisingly the NRA is nowhere to be found because they were never actually about anti-tyranny, they were always about pro white supremacy.

As a follow up to Israel attacking Iran, the Islamic republic regime (ruling Iran) is being horrific to Afghan refugees/immigrants. Afghans are becoming scapegoats and blamed for spying for Israel. The most vulnerable people get most fucked over - always.

โIn a sane world, the Israeli governmentโs slaughter of nearly 80 helpless Palestinians in a single day using American weapons would be major news and members of Congress would treat Benjamin Netanyahu like Hannibal Lecter. Instead, Israelโs daily killing machine is largely ignored while Netanyahu, a wanted war criminal, walks freely on Capitol Hill.โ
2/ โThe Israeli government is trying to slaughter as many Palestinians as it can as ceasefire discussions progress, and then place those remaining in modern-day concentration camps for reeducation and deportation. The Trump administration must stop enabling this madness.โ

if Trump was on the list, Biden's admin would've had that released day one. My guess to why they pussied out is that the list shows ties to Mossad and other Israeli assets.

@verita84 I came to this conclusion and elaborated so a long time ago and with a lot less information. Glad Tucker Carlson has investigated deeper, hope to see some Mossad and CIA go to prison.
We're being run by an elite group of unaccountable sadistic rapists and paedophiles. But what if 1 of them has an "R" next to his name? Oh no! what ever will we do? Guess we just have to let them all off. Otherwise someone might raise my taxes.
@Sir Nedwood Yes but I know it's likely to send at least as many DemonRats to prison because, as Tucker Carlson pointed out, Biden administration had the Epstein list, if Trump were implicated do you think he would not have leaked it?
In the last three days, two ships, the Greek ship "Tutor" and Ukrainian ship "Verbena," are at risk of sinking due to Yemeni Armed Forces operations targeting them in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
"Tutor" was, for the first time, directly hit by a naval drone that barreled into the engine room. Its crew abandoned ship two days later. "Verbena," on the other hand, was targeted with missiles, and its crew abandoned the ship today two days after it was targeted. These operations came in response to the ships' companies violating the Yemeni ban on ports of occupied #Palestine. #yemen #Solidarity #houthi #houti
The UKMTO officially reports that the "Tutor" ship has sunk in the Red Sea, after it was targeted by the Yemeni Armed Forces with a naval drone (pictured), as well as aerial drones and ballistic missiles. #yemen #Solidarity #palestine #houthis #houthi t.me/PalestineResist/45332

ICE is attacking immigrants for now, but their goal is to subjugate all of us. Fighting for our neighbors today is a way of fighting for ourselves tomorrow.
Map the infrastructure that ICE depends on. Publicize their vulnerabilities. Popularize simple, reproducible ways to impose consequences every time that ICE inflicts harm on a community. Don't just react to their attacksโchoose the time and place of confrontations. Take the initiative.
"If we know, and do nothing, we are worse than the murderers hired in our name.
"If we know, then we must fight for your life as though it were our ownโwhich it isโand render impassable with our bodies the corridor to the gas chamber. For, if they take you in the morning, they will be coming for us that night."

The Zionist Interior Minister, Moshe Arbel, has banned anti-Zionist Rabbi Yisroel [Dovid] Weiss from entering occupied Palestine just hours after a meeting between the rabbi and Iranโs Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi. During the meeting, Rabbi Weiss conveyed a message of solidarity with the people of Iran in light of recent Israeli military aggression against the country. He also expressed the stance of the Jewish opposition to Zionism and its crimes.
This move by the Israeli government reflects its growing intolerance toward dissenting voices, particularly those who publicly criticize its policies or engage with nations considered adversaries.
In response to the ban imposed upon him, Rabbi Weiss issued a powerful statement:
โAdvocating for peace should not be a crime. However, in the Zionist entity, it clearly isโbecause Zionism thrives on war and conflict. Its very existence goes against the will of God. It depends on occupation, murder, and crimes.โ
He continued, โI do not expect permission from the Zionists to enter Palestine. Thieves do not get to decide who enters stolen property. I have never visited the Zionist entity, nor do I plan to visit occupied Palestine as long as it remains under Zionist control.โ
He added: โIn the past, I visited Gaza for humanitarian reasons, entering through Rafah. I am prepared to visit a liberated Palestine in the futureโwith permission from its legitimate Palestinian government.โ

Not sure if this is a hot take or not but the current discourse surrounding #JeffreyEpstein and the #EpsteinFiles is a massive distraction. As was the stuff with #PDiddy.
This stuff doesn't affect us, and even if it did, there's nothing we can do about it.
I would not be shocked if these stories are dominating public discourse because something else is happening.
Officials tell us the Epstein case is closed and he actually didnโt have a client list. Also, Tucker Carlson is in deep trouble with mainstream media and cen...

Howard Lutnik didn't go to work on 911. He was a chief exec at Cantor Fitzgerald at the time.
He's now the US commerce sec, a role previously filled in the first Trump presidency by Wilbur Ross, Director of Rothschild, LTD during the 1990 Trump bankruptcy bailout.
Lutnik, lower portion of the meme, is attending Rabbi Schneerson's annual ceremony.
Lutnik bought the house that Epstein used to use on East 71st Street (owned by Wexner). Wexner bought the mansion next door and moved Epstein there.
