Absolutely, he did pardon the vast majority of them, but the deaths of the remaining are on his hands, especially for someone who "doesn't believe in the death penalty". I haven't looked into the specifics of the 3 people he didn't pardon, but no matter what they did life in prison makes more sense than executing them in the richest country on the planet.

Amazing that he can simultaneously want to close both borders to prevent drugs coming in and then pardons the architect of the biggest drug selling website of the time. I would prefer the vast majority of people in prison including Ulbricht to be rehabilitated, and not locked up, but that is some real cognitive dissonance.
Maybe Joe Biden is saving doing the public option for his 2nd term in 2028.
Given the info in this article I imagine it's both Turkey and Thailand keeping them in limbo, Erdogan probably does not want to provoke China either and simply would prefer to keep them in limbo.
If Erdogan wouldn't take these people in the case they were kicked out of Thailand he is not a serious politician. Forget Neo-Ottomanism if you can't handle a couple dozen Turkic refugees.
Donald Trump specifically has a long history with being friends with gay men, his mentor Roy Cohn was a closeted gay man (althought it was a very open secret) who died of Aids all the time denying he was gay, there was a movie released in 2024 called The Apprentice the delves into this. There is also other media made about Cohn like the play Angels in America.
Dude had to tweet about Urkel worship and call American culture stupid and lazy, probably top 5 biggest self owns of any politcian in recent memory.
He surrendered all his dignity in that Ann Coulter interview where she said she wouldn't vote for him because he's Indian and he just took it, and then posted his way out of being part of the Trump government.
It wasn't shitty dw. I just think it's important to use precise language when the action is targeted at a precise group of people. It is a reality that Peter Theil is a leading right winger and Trump nominated a gay man for treasurery secretary, things have changed from the Obama era where that would have been unthinkable.
I don't even think that he cares about "the gays", it's pretty specifically targeted at trans and other non binary people, his coalition has quite a few openly gay men in it.
I don't really think there is any harm in it, the people who are only going to show up for a symbolic protest would only show up for a symbolic protest. And the people who would show up to both this and more meaningful protests will still show up for more meaningful protests.
I would just make a substack or a self hosted ghost website unless you're really invested in the development process.
I would just look at sites like https://apnews.com/ or https://www.bbc.com/ and see what they do, but I don't think you technically need anything, plenty of people have wordpress blogs and substacks without a legal section. What's the difference between your website vs a twitter account vs a substack where you live, probably not very much.
