Trump’s Selective Memory: “Not Familiar” With Assassinated Democratic Lawmaker While Raging About “Left-wing Violence”
Donald Trump’s response to political violence this week reveals something more sinister than mere hypocrisy—it’s the deliberate construction of a false reality where only certain victims matter and only certain perpetrators exist. After days of raging about “left-wing violence” following Charlie Kirk’s shooting, Trump was asked about Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated by a Trump supporter just months ago. His response exposed the entire game.

Post I made on a Lemmy community is not visible
So, I made a post in a Lemmy group that I was using before moving to Piefed. I made it using my piefed account on piefed.ee.
It's now properly visible through lemmy.ee, but not visible on the actual instance where the group is located, nor on piefed.social. The image shows all three: piefed.ee first, then Sopuli, then piefed.social. As you can see, the topmost post is missing in the lower two screenshots.
I've tried refreshing Sopuli's view of the community and I've tried leaving the community and joining it. But, nothing.
It could be it has an effect that the "type" of post I chose on Piefed was "Link", because I wanted the post to include a link as is very common on Lemmy posts. But, that would be very weird, because it's indeed a type of post very common on Lemmy, so why would that be a problem when posted into a community on a Lemmy instance from within a Piefed instance?

Trump says bringing $15 bn lawsuit against New York Times
Washington (AFP) – US President Donald Trump said Monday that he is bringing a $15 billion "defamation and libel lawsuit" against the New York Times."The New York Times has been allowed to freely lie, smear, and defame me for far too long, and that stops, NOW!" he wrote on his Truth Social platform, adding the lawsuit was being brought in Florida.
AFP has contacted the New York Times for comment.
Trump decried the newspaper as a "virtual 'mouthpiece' for the Radical Left Democrat Party" and accused it of lying about his "family, business, the America First Movement, MAGA, and our Nation as a whole."
He provided no evidence for his claims.
The news outlet reported last week that Trump had threatened legal action against it in relation to articles on a lewd birthday note given to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The Republican president has denied authoring the note.
Trump has intensified his attacks on traditional media since his return to the White House, repeatedly badmouthing journalists critical of his administration, restricting access and bringing lawsuits.
He sued media magnate Rupert Murdoch and The Wall Street Journal for at least $10 billion in July after it published an article about his friendship with Epstein.
Paramount settled Trump's lawsuit over election coverage on CBS News' flagship show "60 Minutes" for $16 million the same month. He had alleged that the program deceptively edited an interview with his 2024 election rival, Kamala Harris, in her favor.
