    I went to xitter to see if this indeed real (I don’t know how reliable xcancel.com is). Didn’t even find that tweet. I stopped at a picture of Trump holding up a photo that was supposed to show Abrego Garcia has MS-13 tattooed on his hand, and the picture was instead 4 symbols that were being “interpreted” to mean MS-13. That’s the kind of bullshit you expect from Flat Earthers and ancient alien conspiracists, not the goddamned White House.

    Sad!

        Yeah, sorry I was unclear. I did go to their account on X, but I stopped looking when I saw the ridiculous pic of Trump holding up a blown up photo of someone’s hand like a gullible imbecile.

      xcancel is nitter instance, which is a FOSS front-end similar to what invidious is to YouTube. What you see is pulled from the Twitter servers, but without all the trackers, ads and cookies you get when you visit twitter ‘the normal way’. I believe they maintain the integrity of the URL, so you can copy and paste the text after xcancel.com and place it behind x.com if you want to be sure xcancel or another instance parses data correctly. Your mistrust is a good thing.

      And totally agree, conspiracist took over the government including their communication channels, still partly in denial myself because some stuff is so unbelievably crazy.
