🚨Approximately 30 minutes ago, Gab learned that Thomas Crooks, the deranged Joe Biden supporter who attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump, may have had an account on our platform. We are unable to confirm that the account in question actually belonged to him.

The account was last active on the site in 2021. As far as we are aware, the account did not use the site to send any direct messages. He posted on the site nine (9) times total.

While the account made very few posts on the site, the majority of them were in support of President Biden. A number of posts in particular expressed support for President Biden's COVID lockdowns, border policies and executive orders.

We have saved the account data pending receipt of a search warrant.Image
We are disclosing this information at significant personal and business risk. If the past is any guide, defying the D.C. consensus by publishing the first definitive evidence that the shooter was a Biden supporter - something Democrats and their media allies have tried to cover up and deny at every turn - has a high probability of resulting in significant political and media backlash.

In the past, we have been the target of politically motivated inquiries from both the House Oversight Committee and the Joint Committee on the January 6th Attacks, both of which sought to interfere with our mission of protecting free speech online. The enemies of freedom have the ability to impose significant present and future legal costs and any donations we receive will help to defray those costs.

Some more context: the reason we know is because we received an emergency disclosure request from a law enforcement agency.

The wailing wall is not from the temple, it’s from a Roman fort. If you believe otherwise then you believe Jesus was a liar and thus not who He said He was. Image

In 70 AD the Romans under Titus breached Jerusalem after a brutal siege just as Christ had foretold in Matthew 24 and Luke 21. They torched the Temple, melted its gold, and pried apart the stones so completely that “not one stone was left upon another,” fulfilling His precise prophecy and ending the sacrificial system, all within the generation of His warning.Image
“The Temple Mount, everywhere enveloped in flames, seemed to be boiling over from its base; yet the blood seemed more abundant than the flames and the numbers of the slain greater than those of the slayers. The soldiers climbed over heaps of bodies as they chased the fugitives” (Josephus, The Jewish War)Image

BREAKING: The UK Government has demanded that Gab submit to their new censorship regime under the UK Online Safety Act, threatening massive fines (18 million euros or 10% of our annual revenue) for not policing speech.

We will not comply. We will not pay one cent. We will defend our UK users' right to speak freely and reject any law that compels censorship. Their letter and the response from our legal team is attached.Image

To be clear this image obviously isn’t aimed at our patriotic British brothers and sisters, but rather at their tyrannical government. 🙏

The greatest irony of Nietzschean ideology is that it does not produce supermen; it produces slaves. Slaves to pleasure, to addiction, to digital surveillance. A society built on his principles does not elevate human potential—it dehumanizes. It turns marriage and family into burdens rather than blessings. It sexualizes children while abandoning the elderly. It sees human limitations not as sacred but as flaws to be engineered away.

This is why Nietzsche’s vision always collapses: it cannot answer the fundamental question of why life is worth living. The plummeting birth rates in secular, Nietzsche-influenced societies are not a coincidence; they are a verdict. When life is reduced to power struggles, when suffering has no redemptive meaning, when morality is a lie—why bring children into such a world?
Where Nietzsche saw weakness in compassion, Christ revealed its strength. Where Nietzsche dismissed humility as servitude, Christianity reveals it as the foundation of wisdom. The Übermensch, that self-made god who bends reality to his will, is ultimately a pale and tragic counterfeit of the true God-Man—Jesus Christ, who emptied Himself, took on flesh, and conquered death not by force, but by love. In the end, Nietzsche’s philosophy destroys itself because it cannot sustain life. It cannot justify why justice should be pursued, why love matters, or why the weak deserve protection rather than elimination.
The most damning critique of Nietzsche’s ideology is not theoretical but existential: it does not inspire life. It leads only to sterility, despair, and the eventual erasure of the very civilization it once sought to liberate. Societies that embrace his “will to power” do not last because they cannot justify the sacrifices necessary to build the future. By contrast, Christianity is fertile. It blesses children, redeems suffering, and calls every life—no matter how “weak” by Nietzschean standards—sacred. The rise of AI does not change this truth; it only makes it more urgent. A Nietzschean society will use AI to escape humanity’s “shameful” limitations—our mortality, our need for one another, our vulnerability. A Christian society will use AI to serve humanity, understanding that our very limitations are where grace abounds the most.

AI should be viewed not as a replacement for human intelligence, but as a tool to amplify our God-given cognitive abilities. Just as a telescope extends our vision without replacing our eyes, AI should enhance our intellectual capabilities without supplanting them. Consider how the early church used the Roman road system - a technological marvel of its time - to spread the Gospel throughout the known world. Similarly, we must learn to harness AI as a tool for kingdom work.
While embracing these new capabilities, we must remember that true wisdom comes from God (James 1:5), and that our ultimate purpose is not to achieve technological supremacy but to know Christ and make Him known.
The danger lies not in the technology itself, but in how we might be tempted to use it - either as an idol that replaces our reliance on God, or as a crutch that weakens our own God-given capabilities.
