Spain and France have now joined Britain and Germany in asking the European Commission to open an investigation into Elon Musk under EU's DSA, openly (and rightfully might I add) accusing him of spreading misinformation and interfering in European politics.

Lawrence O'Donnell nails it: “No supporters of Kamala Harris attacked the Capitol today to prevent the counting of electoral votes. That is something that only happens on one side of our politics.”

You wanted cheaper eggs and accidentally got a tyrannical group of oligarchs challenging the sovereignty of our closest allies.

Oops

@YourAnonCentral We are going late already. It’s fucking about time to rely in our self and us only because, as you can see… the maniac has all the power he can have. Europe depends on Europe! That’s it!

Elon Musk saca un asunto muy feo ocurrido en UK hace años y os lo vende como si fuera algo silenciado, os está mintiendo porque es subnormal pero sabe que vosotros lo sois más todavía. No se silenció, no sé ocultó, fue un escándalo que te cagas. Que sois tontos.

Happy Epiphany!

The Christian holiday of Epiphany (a.k.a. Three Kings’ Day, January 6th) commemorates the day the three kings finally arrived to give their gifts to the Christ child. It’s one of the big four in the Christian calendar — along with Christmas, Easter, and Pentecost — that celebrates the first “manifestation of Jesus” to the Gentiles (represented by the three kings). So what’s the “epiphany”? That Jesus was more than a human baby — he was also divine, and he came not just for the Jews, but for everyone’s salvation.

The night before Epiphany, which marks the end of the 12 days of Christmas, is celebrated in many cultures with gifts and blessings.

The French celebrate with a “galette des rois” — the “Cake of Kings.” Inside each galette hides a tiny trinket or prize. Traditionally, the cake is cut into pieces, and the youngest child at the table decides who will get each piece (so there’s no cheating). Everyone then takes careful bites of the pastry until someone finds the prize, which the excited winner gets to keep — along with a golden crown that tops the cake — and becomes king or queen for the day.

Travelers to Italy notice how the Christmas season is celebrated until January 6th. Italy’s Epiphany is the time of “La Befana,” the legendary Good Witch of Christmas, who gives gifts to children. My Roman friend Francesca explains it like this: “On the night before January 6th, the Befana flies over the rooftops of Rome on her broom and brings gifts to the good children or coal for the bad ones. Well, these days, the ‘coal’ is a crunchy black candy you buy from street-corner carts. In return, Roman children leave her a gift of soft ricotta cheese, since she has hardly any teeth!”

One great thing about travel is you often learn more dimensions of holidays you may have celebrated all your life…or perhaps holidays you never knew existed. Happy Epiphany!

Translation: Now that Biden is out and Trump is about to become president, Twitter’s new algorithm will promote content that supports the corrupt new regime and suppress any criticism of Trump and Musk.

Unbelievable how Musk is changing the damn algorithms to just project bad propaganda of Muslim extremists.
He is just bad, very bad and dangerous!

@RpsAgainstTrump You go and tell that to the people that lost it all in Florida after a hurricane, or after fires in Hawaii or California, to leave their land behind. Their territory is where they belong, its their home, but you can't understand those feelings bc for that you need sympathy.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

America isn’t a Christian nation. It is a capitalist nation that has used Christianity as a tool for profit and it continues to do so.
