Wikipedia earned $184M from donations last year. Keeping the servers running costs lest than $5M. They don't need your money.
Did you know that @Wikipedia's parent organization (@Wikimedia) grew their total assets from $266 Million USD to $310 Million USD over the last year? This is thanks, in part, to the fact that financial contributions to Wikimedia grew significantly between 2024 and 2025. From

Freedom—including freedom of speech—came from Athens, Amsterdam, England, and especially America. (Jerusalem had a large role as well.) But Europe also gave us the Catholic Church, Rousseau, the Terror, Marx, fascism in Germany, Italy, and Spain in living memory,
Europe invented Freedom. We are the definition of Freedom. We fought too many wars against ourselves, against fascism and communism. The European Union was created to ensure European freedom, sovereignty and prosperity. That's why autocrats in Moscow, Beijing and DC hate it.

Thank you for explaining the idiocy of the EU’s attack on free speech. 🤨
You can be a sheep and accept Elon Musk's groundless claim that the EU is attacking free speech. Or you can try to understand why the EU is fining Twitter. It is not an attack on free speech.

I have greatly enjoyed blocking the EU defenders here. Some of it is probably organic, but a lot of it has the sort of sameness of astroturf. “Defenders of EU totalitarian overreach” now join “Satanists” and “pedophiles” as ppl I block on sight.

I know this is old, but it is worth looking at it again and reflecting that their imbecilic attitudes have become law in much of Western Europe. These wretched people!
In Germany, posting an “offensive” meme can land you in jail. The EU hates free speech. America is the last bastion of true free expression. We must not lose it.

The responses of some Europeans to this are frankly disgusting. You foolish people deserve your misrule and all the pain that flows from your abandonment of civilization. Unfortunately, many other relatively innocent people in Europe do not…

Why are you so jealous that a man can achieve this level of wealth? Why the envy? Why is your impulse toward taking and seizing the production of another person? Instead of envying @elonmusk try to replicate his success. I dare you to apply the same effort he has in life.
Elon Musk is about to become the first trillionaire. The reason poverty exists in the wealthiest country on earth isn't because we can't feed the poor — it's because we can't satisfy the rich. We should tax trillionaires out of existence.

The idea that one could be *fined* for such things is ridiculous.
Today, we fined X for non-compliance with transparency obligations under the DSA. We're holding X accountable for: 🔹Deceptive design of its ‘blue checkmark’ 🔹Lack of transparency of its advertising repository 🔹Failure to provide access to public data for researchers ↓

Theology 101: If your exegetical, theological, or ministry method leads you out of orthodoxy or away from virtue, get a better method.

They sure did! @realDonaldTrump
Remember when the EU issued a formal letter to Elon Musk, demanding that he censor Donald Trump in their interview during the presidential election? Because I remember. Elon didn’t censor Trump btw. So this is really an attack on both Elon and Trump.

I mean, if this is what was meant by *absurdist* art, then I would be all in favor of absurdist art.

Obviously, government efforts to ban free public discourse is a far more serious threat to democracy.
This is a Switzerland National Council Member, Meret Schneider. She wants to ban X in Switzerland, saying it may be a "threat to democracy.” What are your thoughts?
