America is an idea. An idea that honors the worth of freedom, of independence, of inclusion. It is, at its foundation, an ideal of fair laws and honoring our commitments. F47 has reneged on long-standing agreements, and destroyed our standing as well as our economy. We need change, fast.

Caleb Ecarma tweeted:

“Scoop: DOGE's Edward "Big Balls" Coristine launched a privacy-focused image-sharing site in 2021 that allowed users to create custom URLs. The URLs that redirected to Coristine's site referenced the sale of child sexual abuse material, racial slurs, and rape”

With a screenshot of an article that reads:

“An analysis of URL traffic to tesla.sexy between April 2021 and September 2021 shows that numerous noxious URLs redirected to Coristine's site, including, "children-sex. party," "child-porn.store," "kkk-is-cool.club," "nigga.rentals," "nigga-sex.download," "owns-a-slave.shop," "raping-women.club," "ketamine-rape.date,"
"rape.business," and "rapes-wo.men." Internet archives of the URLs show they redirected traffic to tesla.sexy but any content they may have linked to has disappeared.”
