Ok, since @TimurNegru prompted me, @TiffanyFong I saw you are in Rome. I just came back and it's my home city. Let me help you with some recommendations. To all Italians, feel free to add yours so that Tiffany has a great experience. If you are into ice cream, the place you must visit is "Come il Latte", near Via Veneto. Probably the best ice cream ever. It's not necessarily well known, but if you had to pick only one recommendation from this list, pick this one: maps.google.com/?q=Come+il+L…. I guarantee this is going to be a 10/10. For aperitivo, even though touristic (nowadays), Hotel de Russie near Piazza del Popolo is the right place. Please email them to book beforehand. Lovely internal garden and excellent cocktails, including their own interpretation of the Spritz: maps.google.com/?q=Hotel+de+… In terms of restaurants, there's literally infinite variety and it really depends on the mood and vibe. For an interesting experience, I'd recommend it especially for lunch, Roscioli. Overall, it's always a must: maps.google.com/?q=Roscioli+… An evergreen, in a good location, I due Ladroni: maps.google.com/?q=Due+Ladro… On the "serious side": best for fish, large portions, excellent service (sit outside) and book before. Ai Piani, in a residential area, no party vibe, "old-school" quality: maps.google.com/?q=Ai+Piani,… Easy going options (among many): - Giulio Passami l'Olio: maps.google.com/?q=Giulio+Pa… - For fresh pasta, the winner is Osteria da Fortunata: maps.google.com/?q=Osteria+d… - Lastly, if you want to push yourself towards the Testaccio area, Felice a Testaccio, excellent cacio e pepe and their famous tiramisù reinterpretation: maps.google.com/?q=Felice+a+… For sushi and a more vibey international environment, Zuma. Among the serious ones, for fish, Tempio di Iside too: maps.google.com/?q=Tempio+di… There's literally so much on offer, but I think if you choose something above you'll do well and have a great experience. Enjoy!

🇺🇸🇺🇸🧐🤔“AND YOU STILL DARE TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH…” Sasha Legerman: This is too accurate not to share. This Australian’s response to Trump’s rant that “NATO does nothing for America” is absolutely devastating: “Mate. You run a country where 600,000 homeless people will sleep on the streets tonight. A country where 40% of adults can’t cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment, and people ration it just to stay alive. A country where medical debt is the number one cause of bankruptcy. A country where women die in hospital parking lots because doctors are too afraid of abortion laws to treat miscarriages. You imprison more of your own citizens than any country on Earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. In the land of the free, 2 million people sit in cages, and a quarter of them haven’t even been convicted of anything. They’re simply too poor to afford bail. Your life expectancy is declining. You’re the only developed nation where that’s happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba’s. Your children practice active shooter drills between math and English classes while you sell defense stocks to your friends. Your minimum wage hasn’t changed in 15 years. Your teachers work two jobs, your veterans sleep under bridges, and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that never attacked you. And now a convicted criminal — found liable for sexual abuse, defending a pedophile, sleeping with a porn star, and running the biggest dumpster-fire campaign since the Taliban — is thanking you for yet another disaster. And you call Greenland badly governed? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody there goes bankrupt because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because insurance refused treatment. ‘NATO wasn’t there when we needed them.’ When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn’t even in NATO, and we still showed up. For twenty years. And then you left at 2 a.m. without telling anyone and left everybody else to clean up the mess. You don’t care that a great nation is being terrorized by your friend, and you haven’t shown it a single ounce of sympathy. So maybe before calling other countries badly governed, take a look at your own backyard, you aluminum siding salesman with a spray tan. The only thing badly managed in this picture is your damn mouth. And you still dare to lecture the rest of the world?”

Steve Schmidt, who ran John McCain's 2008 campaign for president, was interviewed on MSNOW. In response to a very general question regarding the Trump presidency, Mr. Schmidt spoke for two minutes and gave the most insightful and brutally honest response of what the Trump presidency has done to our great country: "Donald Trump has been the worst president this country has ever had. And, I don't say that hyperbolically. He is. But he is a consequential president. And, he has brought this country in three short years to a place of weakness that is simply unimaginable if you were pondering where we are today from the day where Barack Obama left office. And, there were a lot of us on that day who were deeply skeptical and very worried about what a Trump presidency would be. But this is a moment of unparalleled national humiliation, of weakness.” "When you listen to the President, these are the musings of an imbecile. An idiot. And I don't use those words to name call. I use them because they are the precise words of the English language to describe his behavior. His comportment. His actions. We've never seen a level of incompetence, a level of ineptitude so staggering on a daily basis by anybody in the history of the country whose ever been charged with substantial responsibilities.” "It's just astonishing that this man is president of the United States. The man, the con man, from New York City. Many bankruptcies, failed businesses, a reality show, that branded him as something that he never was. A successful businessman. Well, he's the President of the United States now, and the man who said he would make the country great again. And he's brought death, suffering, and economic collapse on truly an epic scale. And, let's be clear. This isn't happening in every country around the world. This place. Our place. Our home. Our country. The United States. We are the epicenter. We are the place where you're the most likely to die from this disease. We're the ones with the most shattered economy. And we are, because of the fool that sits in the Oval Office behind the Resolute Desk." @SteveSchmidtSES r/t Ron Tipton

At this point, it no longer matters who gets elected in the U.S. after Trump. The whole world has already seen that the United States simply cannot be relied upon. In practice, there is no real system of “checks and balances,” and at any moment, an erratic autocrat and Kremlin agent can come to power.

And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media. A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children. Lets make this viral again 👇

A tiny bee just did what chemotherapy couldn't. Scientists in Australia discovered that honeybee venom can wipe out 100% of aggressive breast cancer cells in under 60 minutes. And the healthy cells around them? Barely touched. The breakthrough came from Dr. Ciara Duffy and her team at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research, working alongside the University of Western Australia. They tested venom drawn from 312 honeybees and bumblebees across Australia, Ireland, and England. The target: triple-negative breast cancer and HER2-enriched breast cancer. Two of the deadliest, most stubborn forms of the disease. The weapon: melittin. The same tiny peptide that makes a bee sting burn. At one specific dose, melittin tore through cancer cell membranes completely within an hour. Within just 20 minutes, it shut down the chemical signals cancer cells need to grow and multiply. Bumblebee venom, which lacks melittin, did nothing. Zero effect, even at high concentrations. Scientists then recreated melittin synthetically in the lab and got almost identical results, meaning no bees need to be harmed to develop the therapy. Published in the peer-reviewed journal npj Precision Oncology, the findings are still early-stage. Human trials haven't happened yet. But one thing is clear. Nature has been hiding answers in plain sight all along, sometimes inside the smallest creatures on Earth.

😱 Airline will pay $50,000 for the worst photos of Iceland Icelandair is looking for someone who considers themselves a bad photographer. The winner will get a fully paid 10-day trip to Iceland and $50,000 for their “masterpieces.” The task is simple: submit your worst, most awkward and terrible photos. The worse, the better. But there’s a catch: the winner will have to appear in videos, be part of the campaign, and essentially become the face of the promo. Deadline is April 30, details on the airline’s website.

So glad this is going viral, please keep retweeting as NO animal deserves a lifetime of being locked up and abused like this…stay tuned for our @karmagawa rescue mission happening this coming week and it’s my birthday wish to get more people involved!
This is why I’m here in Thailand for my birthday — it’s a @karmagawa rescue mission we’re gonna rescue this poor 45-year-old elephant who’s been chained up her entire life and the only time she gets unshackled is when she’s forced to carry ignorant tourists who pay to ride her…and then after the ride, it’s right back to her shackles :( This cruelty MUST end so please retweet this and help me warn everyone: NEVER RIDE ELEPHANTS AS THAT FUNDS THIS CYCLE OF ABUSE!

You see folks, as far as I can tell, from the outside, this is what it looks like: America has elected a man who talks and behaves like a megalomaniac, and the rest of the planet is supposed to just trust that he won’t completely lose his grip on reality and drag us all into catastrophe. You want to steal Greenland. You want Cuba to “make a deal before it’s too late”. You talk about bombing or invading Mexico. You kidnap a President and knock off the peoples oil in Venezuela. You joke about annexing Canada like it should be a shopping centre car park you can just claim because you feel like it. Do you have any idea how insane that sounds to the rest of us? This isn’t tough talk. This isn’t strategy. This is a deeply unstable old man threatening sovereign nations like he’s flipping over a Monopoly board because he’s losing. This is not normal behaviour. This is not leadership. This is not strength. This is a walking, talking international crisis. And Americans, this is where it comes back to you. Not just MAGA, not just the people who voted for him, all of you. Because when the President of the United States starts talking about kidnapping leaders, annexing countries, and issuing ultimatums like a mob boss, the rest of the world doesn’t get a vote. We just get the consequences. You don’t get to shrug and say, “Well I didn’t vote for him.” That might fly at a dinner party, but it doesn’t fly when nuclear powers are watching this circus and recalculating their own red lines. This is your system. Your presidency. Your responsibility. From the outside, it looks like America lit the fuse and then wandered off while everyone else stands around the bomb wondering who’s going to cut the wire. And let’s be brutally honest. This man is nearly 80. He’s frail. He’s clearly deteriorating. He is not some long term visionary playing chess. He’s at the end of his lifespan and acting like nothing matters after him. That is the most dangerous type of leader there is. A man with nothing to lose and an ego that demands constant feeding. Why should the rest of the world pay for that? Why should families in Europe, Asia, Australia, South America, anywhere, have to worry about war, trade collapse, energy shocks, or global instability because America couldn’t get its own house in order? This is not about left or right anymore. This is about basic sanity. This is about stopping a psychopath before he does something irreversible. Because once a war starts, once a country gets invaded, once alliances fracture beyond repair, you don’t get a reset button. So yes, this falls on Americans. You got the world into this mess, and you damn well better roll your sleeves up and get us out of it. Impeach him. Remove him. Contain him. Do whatever your system allows, but do it fast. Because the rest of us just want to live our lives, raise our families, pay our bills, and not wake up one morning to find out World War Three started because an unhinged old man wanted to feel powerful one last time. This isn’t funny anymore. It isn’t theatrical. It isn’t tolerable. Get this lunatic under wraps before he ruins it for everyone.

This tweet is already starting to go viral and stressing the pro-Musk nature of the site's hidden algorithm. Let's push it.
Almost every other tweet on my feed is about Elon Musk’s PAC getting caught sending in illegally prefilled ballot applications. His strangle on the algorithm is breaking. If you’re on board with this I want you to retweet this and follow me.

Beyond what the average American good-hearted person can handle I've been reading the Epstein files. Not skimming. Not watching tiktoks about them. Actively reading them. What’s inside them is horror and evil beyond language. Cannibalism. CSA. Kidnapping. Trafficking. Children spoken about as food. Code words like pizza. Photographs of molds taken from real children’s body parts used as decorations. A ballerina leg. Taxidermied and mummified infants displayed like objects. A baby still attached to the placenta. Letting babies and toddlers hear their mother's voice so they will "suck harder" The elite. The parties. The auctions. Major corporations involved. Businesses woven into everyday American life, including the company nearly every school uses for student photos. This was protected. Investigations obstructed. Evidence buried or destroyed. Sweetheart deals granted. Victims silenced with threats, NDAs, settlements, and intimidation. This was financed and laundered through shell companies and complex money trails. It was international. Multiple countries. Multiple jurisdictions. Not one island. Not one network. Recruitment pipelines where children were groomed, coerced, and forced to recruit other children. Abuse discussed casually. Suffering treated like logistics. Blackmail. Documentation used as leverage. Powerful people insulated by proximity to politics, royalty, and intelligence-adjacent circles. Out of thousands of children referenced, named, or implied, only around thirty are accounted for. The rest are missing. Erased. Unanswered. People joking about what they’ve done. Joking about what they plan to do next. This is not conspiracy. This is documentation. I do not know how one could witness what happened on Epstein Island and not turn away. This is the kind of evil that makes hell seem embarrassed. No deity, no devil, no myth feels sufficient to hold it. What is in these files is so grotesque, so deliberate, so organized, that every single party involved must be held accountable. Not some. Not a few. All of them. Your politics do not matter here. Democrats and Republicans are named. Celebrities and CEOs are named. Corporations are named. Defending any of them over the safety of children is complicity. We must stand together, united beyond party, fame, or wealth, to end this evil and protect every child. We are not angry enough!!!! This is also your reminder, if you read them, to take breaks. Step away when your body tells you to. Drink water. Ground yourself. You are allowed to protect your nervous system while demanding justice. Reset is not complacency. It is survival. We are not angry enough!!!

Word is spreading about Epstein via those catchy explainer videos in the style of songs.
Radio stations are playing Epstein research in song form! The revolution will not be televised — but it's still being broadcasted to wake up millions of citizens! What a WILD timeline to be born in!

Yesterday Elon joined my call for a global revolution over the Epstein files. I responded to that with, “You’ll be included in my upcoming report to the Human Rights Council on Epstein files and complicity in Gaza genocide through Starlink and X.” Elon flagged my account so that all my posts are sent directly to /dev/null. Can you please do whatever you want to let him see this tweet as I am in X jail. Or better yet, make this tweet one of the most liked tweets ever. Send him the message that he can't manipulate us anymore.
