And he thinks releasing the Epstein files is “totally pointless disclosure,” that “this is how men behave,” and the student asking him to give a lecture in her dorm was her making an advance. JFC, what a fucking pig!

Yale prof David Gelernter defends his letter urging Epstein to hire "v small goodlooking blonde" student by saying that he was "keep[ing] the potential boss's habits in mind." This creep shouldn't be allowed anywhere near students. yaledailynews.com/articles/gel...

The Trump junta re-writing history to whitewash it

JFC They are lawless psychopaths

It would be great if Democrats in other states would be louder allies with Minnesota. Don't treat this like a "Minnesota issue." The 4th Amendment is an American issue, full stop. If you don't fight this now and soon, you won't be able to stop it when it is your home. @aoc.bsky.social

ICE are destroying property and destroying lives. I know Repubs don’t care about the latter but they usually get hot and bothered about the former.

What… He’s so offensive and then becomes incomprehensible because he’s lost his damn mind.

City hall belongs to Minneapolis residents, not ICE. Video credit to @transthem.bsky.social

Today at City Hall, an ICE agent parked in a no parking/accessible transfer spot. Around the block were two ICE agents, one parked in the MFD Chief’s spot and another in a sheriff’s spot. While ultimately inconsequential, a microcosm showing there’s no law too small for these turds to break.

Failson Kennedy did this. Trump did this. Anti-vax lies did this.

They just blindly shot through the fucking door. "Additional photographs show damage consistent with a bullet fragment lodged in a bedroom wall down the hallway — suggesting it traveled between a mattress and a portable crib in a room where several small children sleep."

6/ The Post has lost over 375,000 subscribers in just over a year. If 10% of those readers subscribed to The 51st instead, we could hire 10 reporters and five editors, dramatically scaling our coverage of the city at this critical time. 51st.news/signup

So weird how this keeps happening. www.haaretz.com/us-news/2026...

Karp was head of Paul, Weiss when it caved to Trump way too quickly. Could his many years of getting favors from Epstein be why?

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

“The scars [mental and physical] will always be there, a reminder of the time my own government tried to execute me.” - Marimar Martinez

Make it make sense....

A 50-year pillar of Portland media known for reporting on policy impacts in undercovered areas — and one of the state’s only Black-owned news outlets — is shutting down.

I don't think one can look at what Carter did post-presidency and not give him kudos for being absolutely the best ex-President we've had. Eradicating guinea worm, building affordable housing...these are things that no other living ex-president has come close to matching. www.cartercenter.org

Please watch and share this. Boycotts, resistance, protests work. In the United States, and Canada too.

Disgraceful.

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed California to use its new, voter-approved congressional map in the 2026 election, clearing the way for Democrats to counter President Donald Trump’s redistricting gains in Texas. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump is a synonym for corruption

Legacy PFAS in North Atlantic pilot whales have dropped 60% over the past decade, reflecting earlier chemical phaseouts. But researchers warn of “regrettable substitution,” as replacement PFAS may pose similar risks — even as newer chemicals appear to be accumulating more on land than at sea.

ICE OUT

Out shoveling behind 3 neighbors so they can get their trash to the street for pickup & know libertarians would be shitty neighbors. Also the oligarchs learned that destroying social capital destroys trust and you can’t have collective action to solve problems w/out trust so that makes them richer.

House Republicans pulling in UK’s seemingly unwashed bigots to testify.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

The first thing I did when I flew home from watching the Washington Spirit win the 2021 NWSL championship was buy the Washington Post paper covering the win. A sad day for DC sports indeed.

Most of the Washington Post’s tech reporters were laid off today, including me. I have loved my time at the paper, which is where I wanted to work from age 15. I take some consolation in not being among the survivors who will have to work harder with less for fewer readers. On to better things.

this is a wicked man who knows he is being wicked and does it anyway

Or all the idiots doing the so-called « trump dance » (though can something with no rhythm be a dance?) as a victory celebration, including Pulisic and various 49’ers.

exactly. hell, UVA is basically the southern campus of the new jersey university system. bsky.app/profile/froz...

A lot of people cannot just start a paid newsletter or become freelancers to sustain their careers. The sports, metro, and international desks did work that requires *team* resources, like legal checks, documents, access to archives, and long-term beat experience.

Watching kids trying to get to school and having to climb over 6’ or higher snow and ice piles deposited at cross walks and curbs really makes you question adults.

this is literally the critique of crypto that was offered when it was launched, so please, fuck off into the sun

Using public money to install a monument on public grounds and then publicly saying it is for a partisan campaign purpose is a walking, talking violation of federal law, as if that mattered any more

I've reread this like 3 times. Freed herself from slavery by running away, *went back a week later bc the slaver was talking shit, set his house on fire, and then escaped again is absolutely incredible queen shit

Trump world is full of people spinning lies about manufacturing like right wing talking head Batya Ungar-Sargon but none more than WH economics adviser Kevin Hassett who just days ago⤵️ was touting imaginary groundbreakings. But here's the right leaning WSJ front page with the brutal truth:

The cycle from Amazon killing bookstores to Bezos axing the books section of the Post is something

Journalism dies under billionaires because billionaires likes the darkness that kills democracy.

In high school, on my commute on a NYC bus, I heard a woman say, « I tried to join the anarchists but they were so frustrating. They had no rules. ». To which the woman with her said, « isn’t that their point? » and the response, « yeah but who has time for that? » I love NY.

"None of us figured out how to avoid being here." IT WAS CALLED "FILL IN A LITTLE OVAL NEXT TO THE BLACK LADY'S NAME IN NOVEMBER 2024."

The summary execution of U.S. citizens is not “public safety.”

This is so god damn wrong and anyone who disagrees needs to be locked up

Pssst: not just Minneapolis.

i feel like we've had a good enough sample size for like two decades on whether or not body cameras on cops do anything whatsoever to stop them from killing people. the guy that murdered renee good was filming it on his phone for fun!
