5/8 Since 2018, interventions by the Turkish state have radically changed the landscape. Ditches, 3-metres deep and surrounded by barbed wire, appeared in the late 2010s. More were dug in parallel with the wall. At places, satellite imagery shows up to four rows of ditches.

#BillionairesForBallrooms Big-Media #EpsteinClass millionaire anchors are drooling over MAGA and their lying words mouthed about proven racist Trump's $1776 slush fund. Maybe their hindquarters kissing will limit some, but the leaders[Bannon, Navarro, 'MyPillow', Santos] will all get paid off.
[2/3] [Don't worry about #Stephen_Colbert. He will get better offers and double down after. Better worry about what the #Project2025 regime is doing via #Zleepytrumpf to the media landscape and turning it into state media, just as #putZler has done to #ruZZia, so they can burry #Epstein stories⚠️‼️]

We all know Homelander was an impersonation of Trump. It was a fun show (I hid behind a pillow for gnarly parts). They filmed the final weeks ago but nailed Trump calling himself God, looking up to dictator figures, golden statue, need for worship, lack of basic human morality. Out of lines
Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti deserve justice. Republicans can avoid a shutdown today — by accepting that DHS needs to face accountability. No more blank checks for Kristi Noem and the chaos she’s unleashing on our country! Call (202) 224-3121 to reach congressional offices and be heard.

Dr. Oz's recent declaration that the Administration wants to keep us to delay retirement is proof that they're not even trying to hide the fact that they're going to raise the retirement age. Well, we're watching and paying attention. And we promise that we'll continue to fight back.

"He's gone after the four who crossed him on Epstein... He hasn't gone after everyone who's crossed him on everything." @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @timmiller.bsky.social say Trump’s selective targeting of those who pushed to release the Epstein files is another sign of an ongoing cover-up.
