Safe Spaces are for snowflake MAGAts.

It's that XHitler (pronounced - Schliter) is pro-nazi.

DU shouldn't link to pro-nazi sites.

Now that the Muskratfucker is so thoroughly enmeshed with Trump, seeing anything from X here makes me cringe.

Please stop!

If you must show anything from the Xwitter swamp, please make a screenshot of the X post, and post the screenshot that has no live links. That's all that should be allowed here.

So even though I kinda wish it too, I'm just going to have to deal with the image hosting myself one of these days.

I use Imgur all day long when posting stuff on DU. However I wouldn't be able to do it if I didn't have a mouse and keyboard. I can understand why this would be a barrier for anyone who is posting from their cellphones.

X embeds and the X share button will be replaced with Bluesky equivalents soon. (The embeds are proving more difficult to get working than expected.)

That would be a powerful incentive for OP's to find other sources, and in fact, help other sources thrive.

I do screenshot them when it's the only source I can find.

Thanks for the fantastic work on the site.

should be discouraged. Too harsh? I dont know ... we're talking about linking to a known fascist source.
