Not a real good way to land a fight Hunter. That shit was America as fuck. I had chills throughout the entire event because it felt like America was coming back. If that South Lawn is for us then I can’t think of a better thing to do with it. A legendary event that I will never forget. You and Don Jr. Naa I’m good.

Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I don’t understand anyone who can’t admire that.
And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think he’s hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.
My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment.
The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.
This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People’s House. This “celebration” could have happened in any stadium within a stone’s throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.
But that was obviously Donald Trump’s whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is:
“This is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. I’ll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. I’ll tear down the East Wing. I’ll pave over the Rose Garden. I’ll cover everything in gold and marble. I’ll erase the names of all the men who came before me.”
The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.
The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar.
The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.
The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.
Respectfully, Hunter
P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.

My gf @FreyaDalySad wrote an excellent book of poems a while ago & it became the inspiration for a tv show which is now real and has a trailer!! Set in Wellington, full of great talent, exciting! Poetry can you believe it

@dwb138204334154 @WOFrobozz @martyrmade Something about the livestreamed genocide they’re committing I suppose
English

@WOFrobozz @martyrmade why are you guys ranting nonstop about Israel?
English

@Megatron_ron @ismayouisabel That’s chilling. Targeting employees of global tech giants is beyond usual sanctions or rhetoric, it’s a direct threat to human lives and international business. Things could escalate fast.

BREAKING:
🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran has called on all employees of Google, Nvidia, Apple, IBM, Tesla, Intel and Cisco to leave the companies by 8pm Tehran time on Wednesday - The Hill
After that they are going to start blowing them up.
The IRGC has threatened America’s top big tech companies in the region, including Google, Nvidia, Apple, IBM, Tesla, Intel and Cisco, accusing them of being abbettors in the American and Israeli aggression against the country.

@Brocklesnitch Oh Bec. That’s fucked. I’m so sorry. You don’t know me, but I love your work and think you’re great 🫶🏻
English

@LionsOfZion_ORG I pray that you’ll start respecting international law, stop your genocide and cease bombing your neighbours. Apart from that, you can get in the bin.

@The5Pillars @evelynaraluen He wasn’t cancelled, his invitation went ahead. And it was 2024, not last year. Check your facts mate
English

@evelynaraluen And none of them did when Randa Abdel-Fattah had a Jewish author cancelled last year proving that all these ‘blak’ authors are antisemites.
And that’s how they do it.

@ProfDBernstein @PaulBongiorno Did you ask the international criminal court?
English

@PaulBongiorno Nothing Netanyahu has done re Gaza violates international law. When I ask people to show otherwise, they either completely misstate international law or simply express moral outrage, as if their outrage makes something illegal.

@Baumann_Mac @MarkGoldfeder @NYCMayor @ZohranKMamdani @EFischberger @shaunmmaguire @wolfejosh @JNS_org @Mike_Wagenheim @luketress @nytimes @WSJ @Justine_Brooke @InnaVernikov Americans spell correctly. Stay in your own country and dont meddle
English

Hard to overstate how disturbing it is that one of the first acts of the new @NYCMayor was to delete official tweets and EO's addressing the protection of Jewish New Yorkers.
The letter we sent to @ZohranKMamdani, the DOI Commissioner, and the COIB Executive Director.
Let's go.

@MCMLXXIII_AU @DavidTh69358627 @RonniSalt Ahhhh…that’s not exactly true. Labor got around 34.5% of first preferences. But they did a lot better than the “liberals” did, they got less than 21% 🙂

@DavidTh69358627 @RonniSalt He won 94 seats fuckwit. The overall majority of Australians voted for Albo.

@vxylily We celebrated our Diamond Wedding Jubilee in May last year - 60 years ... I keep telling her, I've never kept a car that long.

Hi @joshburnsmp
I live in MacNamara and want you to speak up in support of Dr Bianca and the Gaza Flotilla. I agree that at this stage of the genocide in Palestine it’s time to stop arming Israel & expel their ambassador. Please bring the views of your constituents to parliament

I spoke with a brave Australian, Dr Bianca Webb-Pullman, who is sailing to Gaza aboard the Family Boat alongside Greta Thunberg. Following the drone strike on her boat, she has a message for her local member, @joshburnsmp. Why not help him hear it? youtu.be/6SS_2v4ETrE
