    EXC: Here’s a LONG list of groups funded by Mark Zuckerberg that are actively sabotaging the Trump presidency through lawfare, ICE raid interference, lobbying, and mass protest. Funds comes from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative or Forward US (founded by Zuck in 2013). 🧵🧵🧵

    Zuckerberg ran to the @NYTimes for cover after I exposed his ties to nonprofits bankrolling lawsuits against President Trump. You thought this would intimidate me? It proves I hit a nerve.

    So, yet again, the @nytimes is wrong. Would you like to update this story @teddyschleifer?

    @nytimes @teddyschleifer Also, they're deleting grants from the CZI website! MASSIVE attempted coverup underway.

    Natalie Winters@nataliegwinters · Feb 17, 2025

    🚨🚨🚨 On February 12th, Mark Zuckerberg's foundation website listed over 5,000 grants. We know this consisted overwhelmingly of far-left groups. On the day I exposed Zuckerberg's ties to current anti-Trump activists, the site was revised to list just 680 grants. Many of these far-left donations are now missing, and you can only search from 2024 onward. This is a massive cover up. Archives below ⬇️
