After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

A reminder that immigration contributes to American greatness. A large fraction of Nobel Prizes awarded to Americans have been to immigrants. Below is a table for Physics, Chemistry, and Medicine through 2023. www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

Physics	/17	/21	/45%
Chemistry	/16	/23	/41%
Medicine	 /12/	23	/34%
TOTAL	45	/67	/40%

Presidential immunity does not equal democracy. Expect democracy to die January 20th.

Like I said in previous posts, Koreans don't give a shit if you're president. The laws applies to everyone... Except in the the US. We think it's cool to elect felons. South Korea court issues warrant to arrest impeached President Yoon www.bbc.com/news/article...

📌“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.” ― Lyndon B. Johnson *(One of the most prescient things ever said by anybody.)

If you needed even MORE of a reason to switch to Bluesky, China is "troubled" by the fact that they've invested so much time on Twitter buying ads, bots, and influencers... only to see the people they're seeking to manipulate (us) flee the site. www.semafor.com/article/11/2...

When we were children, we were taught that no matter how you reached, no matter much wealth and power you accumulated, you were not above the law. We can no longer teach our children that. And that's really fucking tragic.

Since the presidential election, I've heard criticisms directed at black and brown people for not giving enough support to the Harris/Walz ticket. This is horribly misguided: seventy percent of the voters were white and the majority of them gave their support to Trump. Put it in perspective.
