the biggest lesson from the emails today is that powerful people are so unafraid of consequences for crimes as bad as “raping children” that they will just talk about it openly in emails the only path to a better society is one where that is no longer true

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

every single one of these emails is someone I already hate messaging a notorious pedophile to say "Thanks for the great time! I had fun doing pedophile stuff with you. P.S. Trump was there with us the whole time"

One horrific thing to me is that the president- a man who has gotten away with everything including literal murder up to this point- seems extremely nervous about anything regarding Epstein coming out. Like how bad does it have to be

Helpful historical context for the Epstein news.

".. only 33% of U.S. adults approve of the way the Republican president is managing the government, down from 43% in an AP-NORC poll from March. .. .. Independents' approval dropped from 38% to 25%."

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it. He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted. Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

Our primary program will include both the House and Senate. And after the primary — whatever happens — we will rally behind the winner and crush the regime electorally in the midterms just like we did this last week. We get the party we demand and we intend to demand a Democratic Party that fights.

ice cubes are ridiculous. like yeah lemme just get a piece of water

I made a “how do you do, fellow kids?” joke to someone in their mid 20s who, it turns out, was too young to have heard of that meme. So “how do you do, fellow kids?” is now an example of “how do you do, fellow kids?”

(inventing the bloody mary) yeah sure, whatever. let's go with that

In a waiting room and they have the news on and they were talking about People’s Sexiest Man Alive and showed the guy and the lady behind me just said, completely devoid of emotion, “he is sexy”

Special congrats to my microwave who has been wrong for six months but is now back to actually telling the time

all my bad posts are retroactively off the record

The event organizers say 7m people showed up. That would mean ~1 out of every 50 Americans came out to protest the president

We're going to win.

this man's marriage would not exist if not for a previous generation of people marching for their rights.

oh god no, they leaked my groupchats. now everyone will know I'm an unproblematic sweetie

ME: Now Mom, just remember, there's a lot of disinformation and AI in your social feed and your friends' Facebook. MOM: I know! My friend sent me this crazy post where someone used AI to make an image of a giant frog fighting Army troops! ME: ... okay, no, that one's ... goddamit, Portland.

shit ain’t over til it’s over

I'm not sure about this branding but I'm not the billionaire business genius

The problem with that "First they came for" poem is it makes a lot of unlikely assumptions. For example it assumes they would ever come for me

What's your secret to being online all the time without contracting computer madness? For me it's being pure of heart

true blueskyism has never been tried

Millennials are the largest generation in the U.S. today. Even Gen X will outnumber the Boomers by 2028. Please update your political conventional wisdom accordingly.

Aubrey Plaza is actually a nepo baby. I imagine ur familiar with her father, Rockefeller

(interrupting small child singing) Yeah, i know what a teapot looks like, thanks

This shit is bananas

i don't want jon stewart to run for president. not because i particularly like or dislike him or think he'd do a good or bad job- rather because i believe it is vital to the national interest that we hand executive power directly from a boomer to a millennial

"Bluesky is dying" Oh yeah? Then explain why this GIF always does numbers.

The paparazzi should photograph animal actors. I want to know what they’re up to.

Today's young people have no idea how to react when I suddenly start running at them
