"The Epstein class" is a global rot In Europe, ties to Jeffrey Epstein are ending careers, sparking spy probes, and possibly toppling governments In America, not so much. How the lack of elite accountability became the tipping point for democracy. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/jeff...

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

I am in Milan. It’s work. I help with safety planning for big events. My take from in the room. VP Vance was heckled by the crowd when he appeared on screen. But I want to point out that the same crowd was loud and supportive when Team USA came out. It was lovely to hear. And quite a juxtaposition.

Almost a year ago @joshtpm.bsky.social posted: “The situation at NIH and for biomedical research in the US is MUCH MUCH WORSE than you realize.” I can confirm that this remains true. It is today MUCH MUCH WORSE than the way everyone is acting in public.

turns out this whole time "donald trump" was just 3 staffers in a trench coat

This is an immensely significant document that continues to get virtually no attention in US media—but lots abroad. In Jul 2015, Epstein arranged a meeting between a known highest-level Russian intel operative, Sergey Belyakov and Peter Thiel,

@theonion.com is so worth the subscription for this

This should be interesting.

This part of @willbunch.bsky.social's piece really stuck with me: A 24-year-old server's Republican father told her the camps were "just taking care of the illegal people" and she said, "I don’t feel like that’s true at all. I feel like they’re going after everyone.”

In the same way Abrego Garcia was, this 5-year-old is being singled out and punished for making the administration look bad just by existing as sympathetic case.

Is anyone surprised?

not to mention doing it while out of town at pre-Super Bowl festivities

The "White House staffer" who posted the disgustingly racist Obama meme:

Last year, Wicker voted to give Stephen Miller the money to build these concentration camps Now that the money's being spent on what Miller said he'd spend it on, not liking it so much. They don't want that stench in Mississippi

The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.

I’m not sure why Coons is just laughing this off when it is currently the central organizing theme of the Republican Party. We need to address these racist lies aggressively with strong arguments, not just laugh and say “that’s not true.” bsky.app/profile/atru...

this regime is unrelentingly evil

I do not subscribe to the WaPo, so I cannot read the essay in its entirety, but note that the subtitle--"Civilization depends on secure property titles"--could have applied equally well to enslavement (enslaved peoples of course being a form of property.) And what do they mean by "civilization"?

The banality of evil is shocking. An ex-Big Lots warehouse for cheap consumer junk is bought by ICE to ship as many as 7,500 handcuffed human beings, as the Trump regime builds a U.S. gulag archipelago The unthinkable comes to Pa. coal country. My special report www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

This guy needs to go.

Courage is contagious. Let’s keep going.

one thing you can say about jeffrey epstein is that he simply loved emailing

i truly hate how much we are living in a bad script

They invented a slot machine for rich people to pull while they’re asleep, and called it AI.

i am very much of the view that undermining the court’s secrecy is a necessary part of remaking it into something like an actual court (and not some guardian council) www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...

this particular line is maybe the best statement of purpose i have seen for those of us who want a more militant opposition to this administration

Whenever you see a story about how liberals aren't making their conservative peers feel welcome enough, this is who they're talking about.

News from academia in the Epstein files:

This is the U Penn donor who helped push the President out, pushed to eliminate arts & science offerings, and drafted Trumps "compact" with universities. People like Rowan repeatedly claimed the moral high ground to impose their agenda on students and faculty.

"This review is over" -- Todd Blanche says DOJ is done with the Epstein files

💥It took a while, but the newly released Epstein files have finally reached the top echelons of government and led to a resignation... ...in Slovakia. PM Robert Fico’s national security adviser & ex-foreign minister, Miroslav Lajčák, one of the convicted sexual predator’s close contacts, is out.

Lawyers can't reach clients in ICE detention. I've heard it anecdotally, but scale of issue is horrifying. Bloomberg Law is a legal trade pub so many may miss this. Screenshot from their CA newsletter summarizes "bleak" situation for justice and rule of law. news.bloomberglaw.com/litigation/l...

Academics vying for a spot in Epstein‘s world. There are so many. I feel the need to make a thread, so I don’t keep confusing them. 1/
