Barack Obama hasn't been President in almost 10 years. MAGA racists cannot get past the fact that a Black man was President, won the Nobel Peace Prize, and will be remembered in history as one of the great leaders of the 21st Century.
RETWEET if you love President Obama! 💙
OH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!
HE DOESN’T GET TO DELETE IT & PRETEND HE NEVER SENT IT!!!
MAKE THE RACIST MOTHERFUCKER RESIGN!!!
LET’S HEAR YOU DEFEND THIS, MAGA!!!
We're used to seeing images like this of Nazi Germany. This is what an execution looks like. It's an image that will haunt America for years to come. Alex Pretti was an ICU Nurse whose life was dedicated to saving lives. Under the fascist authoritarian Trump regime, in the eyes of the world, America has become the monster it used to fight against.
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

TIL about gofundme scammers on X/Twitter. Here’s my convo with ChatGPT:
Prompt:
I posted a tweet on X for a request to share a specific gofundme donation page and now I am getting happened with requests for me to follow them and send the link via DM. Why is this happening? It feels like a scam
Response:
You’re absolutely right to feel uneasy — what you’re experiencing is a common scam tactic on X (formerly Twitter). Here’s what’s typically going on:
⸻
🚨 Here’s Why This Is Happening
1. Phishing or Money Scams
•Scammers often send unsolicited DMs offering to “help promote” or send money, but only if you follow them and share the link privately.
•For instance, some will deposit fake or stolen funds through your GoFundMe, then ask you to return part of it — only to disappear once it’s reversed .
•Others will pressure you to share personal banking info or send cash, exploiting your vulnerability .
2. Fake Accounts & Bots
•These messages frequently come from new or inactive accounts — often bots or “ghost” profiles — making it easy to bypass your DMs filter .
•They may ask you to “first follow” them or DM for the link, to get around limits on unsolicited messages .
3. Campaign Boost Scams
•Some accounts promise to “boost” your fundraiser for a fee (sometimes just a few dollars), but they don’t deliver—often linking through Fiverr or similar sites .
⸻
✅ What You Should Do
•Don’t accept DMs from strangers asking you to follow or privatize your link.
•Report and block suspicious accounts — especially if they pressure you for money or personal info.
•Share your GoFundMe publicly as intended — through your own tweet or bio link. There’s zero need to DM it privately.
•Trust official platforms: GoFundMe itself warns that legitimate donors won’t ask to DM you or give money then demand a refund via separate payment methods .
⸻
🌐 Why You Got These DM Requests
•You’re raising a cause publicly, making you a target.
•Scammers deploy bot networks that scrape public posts tagged with keywords like “GoFundMe” or “mutual aid.”
•Once spotted, they send DMs en masse, looking for victims who’ll follow their script (DM, follow, pay, etc.) .
⸻
🔒 Stay Safe: A Quick Checklist
StepAction
1Share your link publicly — no DMs required.
2Ignore private offers to “boost” or “donate through DM.”
3Block/report any suspicious or unsolicited DMs.
4Donate through secure means, not via unknown requesters. GoFundMe tracks legitimate contributions.
⸻
Your instincts are spot-on — this is a scam. Keep your campaign public, and treat any private requests with extreme caution. If anyone offers money or help that seems too good to be true, it probably is.

We’re beyond desperate here.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of our founder and friend Robert Redford.
Bob’s vision of a space and a platform for independent voices launched a movement that, over four decades later, has inspired generations of artists and redefined cinema in the U.S. and around the world.
Beyond his enormous contributions to culture at large, we will miss his generosity, clarity of purpose, curiosity, rebellious spirit, and his love for the creative process.
We are humbled to be among the stewards of his remarkable legacy, which will continue to guide the Institute in perpetuity.
Robert Redford has died at 89 years old.
The film icon starred in classic movies such as "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" and "All the President's Men," won an Oscar for directing “Ordinary People” and founded the Sundance Film Institute.
