Y’all, I’m not political expert, but it seems to me that if you’re going to post a bunch of “no I’m really straight” social media photos, maybe you should pick pictures that don’t include photoshopping your wife into the photo. 🤷‍♂️

I know people here aren’t a fan of it, but if you’re not following [email protected] on the Epstein documents, you aren’t getting anything near the full story.

Unfortunately, I am loathe to say that the sole source of remedy here is Congress because, while the first two of these used to be understood to be deeply problematic, we now have to deal with this being a subject of absolute Presidential immunity:

I am getting deeply concerned that the focus on the obvious “Trump gave Bill Clinton a BJ” joke in the Epstein emails is going to be the cause of a huge disaster that’s going to aid Trump in surviving.

Just your basic discussion by Epstein of how Trump engages in money laundering. No biggie.

Via @mactaskforce - Captivity survivor Aviva Siegel addressed the UN Committee Against Torture today, describing some of the most graphic and heartbreaking details of the treatment of hostages and the sexual crimes committed against them by Hamas terrorists. 🧵

While we knew he was a monster and a predator and a felon, until now I don’t think any of us really knew how much of a world class shit talker Epstein was.

Selling returning $2000 of taxes Americans were forced to illegally pay as a “dividend,” is some quality Trump gaslighting.

He died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after a police chase. But be sure to get that autopsy to see if it was the COVID vaccine. 🥴

Sauer doing everything possible to avoid saying Americans pay tariffs.

I24: Hostage families urge Israel to freeze Hamas deal until 24 bodies returned saying “a nation that abandons its fallen abandons its destiny”

Two things can be true at the same time: 1) US elite educational institutions have a deep systemic problem with antisemitism. 2) This administration is weaponizing that systemic problem as a Title VII and Title IX pretextual cudgel to accomplish its preexisting anti education goals.

She has been for a long time. We’ve been saying it. People just haven’t been listening. Now what we’ve been saying is just plainly obvious.

A thread on the Druze. The Druze are an Arab ethnic minority that have lived in the area of the Israeli-Syrian border since the 11th century when their offshot of Islam was created. They are religiously very private people and are seen as heretics by mainstream Islam and suffer persecution by them.

Well, this didn’t take long

If you’re actually interested in a sober discussion of what is happening outside GHF sites, rather than clickbait by Haaretz, Yaviv’s most recent episode is a must listen. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

@gtconway.bsky.social Feel free to publicize this one too. Or naw? www.jpost.com/middle-east/...

❌ DOUBLE STANDARDS: When the IDF explains it has targeted Hamas terrorists hiding beneath Gaza hospitals, BBC News reacts with disdain. When Iran's regime-controlled media makes bogus claims after hitting an Israeli hospital, the BBC simply regurgitates it without comment.

Seeing a lot of comments by “internet experts” on the ME about the Israeli government’s “secret” motivations for this strike. These “subterfuge” reasons are nothing but conspiracy theories. The reason for the strike now is because Israeli intelligence saw a nuclear threat that has lasted too long.

Blood libeling Jews anywhere endangers Jews everywhere.

That seems pretty reasonable for PC to arrest. Is there any circuit that has held otherwise?

This has to be the most unhinged statement I've ever seen come from this person. You don't have to defend everything Israel does or is doing or has done. But saying they don't have a right to exist and that "no nation" has the right to exist while calling for a Palestinian nation to exist is wild.

This is going to feel real familiar soon.

Really disappointed at the lack of Erie Doctrine and civil procedure commentary after today’s order list. I expected better of lawsky.
