The depravity & the cover up: see DOJ document. EFTA0078198. Lawyer letter documenting VERY young girls trafficked across international borders to Epstein, Maxwell & friends. Death threats to victim. How Bondi can say there is nothing to see is unbelievable. #Epstein #Trumpstein

The raw sewerage spill in the Potomac perfectly symbolises the Trumpstein administration which pollutes everything it touches. @nytimes.com @thebulwark.com #politics

Grim situation at Texas A & M. #academicsky www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/u...

The Democrats should reintroduce the bipartisan immigration legislation from 2024.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Clifton Crais’s book out in UK today:“In this radical rethinking of modernity,…Crais argues that the era between 1750 and the early 1900s – seen by many as the birth of the Anthropocene – should instead be known as the Mortecene: the Age of Killing.” #academics www.panmacmillan.com/authors/clif...

Greenland is a vanity project for Trump that would cost us a broken NATO and a stronger Putin, as I told @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social

Now we begin the familiar ritual where 95% of the Republicans in Congress claim they are completely unaware of Trump’s deranged letter to the PM of Norway so they are unable to comment on it.

Crazy town. #Trumpstein. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/w...

This is why you don't give in to bullies www.nytimes.com/2026/01/17/b...

Does Trumpstein know he is obeying Putin’s wishes by destroying NATO? Or is he even more of a tool/fool than he appears? Either way, the GOP needs to finally find a spine. #Greenland #Politics #USPolitics #Epstein

Hamnet is such a moving film. It is a powerful testament to the power of art and language when both those things seem increasingly disparaged in the 21st century.

On the fifth anniversary of the Jan 6. attack, the White House launched a new website claiming those prosecuted were victims of a "weaponized" justice system and accusing Democrats of fabricating an "insurrection" narrative. https://bit.ly/4sszukf

Truly, if you want to know how we got here, Clifton Crais’s book The Killing Age, on the ties between 19thC US violence, environmental destruction and finance is a great place to start. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/u... #politics #academics

A conversation with the author of this book-takeaway, the sezure if the election almost worked and thr mob was incredibly violent. #academics open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

This new war is not only illegal, reckless and deeply corrupt, it is the latest in a series of increasingly desperate distractions from the EPSTEIN Files. #ImpeachAndConvict47NOW

I really worry for Taiwan and Ukraine. The overthrow of Maduro has given China and Russia a green light. #foreignpolicy #politics #academics

Trumpstein with this invasion has basically given China permission to move onTaiwan. Appalling. @anneapplebaum.bsky.social #Venezuela @pbsnews.org @theatlantic.com

Trumpstein, the warlord president.

Happy New Year everyone. I hope 2026 is the year that democratic politics triumphs all around the world.

Clifton Crais’s book on the Morticene—or The killing Age—helps explains the origins of modernity’s ruinous legacy of violence and environmental wreckage. press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/bo...

Nobody works this hard for this long to cover up something this bad unless they are guilty.

The cv, the dark cv, and the hallucinated cv. Academia is on its way from announcing the work done, the failures on the way while getting work done, to listing up work that AI invented and no one has ever done. #academicchatter

AI is rotting our academic culture. This set of posts by Ben Williamson on how AI makes up sources which people then cite may times!, is terrifying. #AI #Academics

@pbsnews.org I am so glad Stephanie Sy is staying on. Really appreciate your work Stephanie!

Clifton Crais’s new book The Killing Age helps make sense of how the USA has ended up here: it is a country founded on violence against people, animals and the environment, arising from revolutions in gun manufacturing and finance. @newyorker.com @pbsnews.org press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/bo...

Terrifying. I predict in the AI era, the tech elites will send their children to liberal arts colleges to actually think and the rest will go to places that don’t care and the powerful will continue to rule the world but in even scarier ways. #AI www.currentaffairs.org/news/ai-is-d...

Here are three news stories Democracy Docket published today. If you agree that independent, pro-democracy media is more important now than ever before, please support Democracy Docket with a membership today. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

It is newsworthy that the president of the United States is increasingly verbally abusive of women reporters and he should be asked about it.

Dartmouth gives the right response to Trumpstein’s McCarthyist play: No! #academics #academictwitter president.dartmouth.edu/news/2025/10...

Tyler Robinson’s grandmother, Debbie Robinson, told the Daily Mail today: “My son, his dad, is a Republican for Trump. Most of my family members are Republican. I don’t know any single one who’s a Democrat.”

I love this!

The assault on universities is never ending and made worse by the fact that universities themselves are part of the abuse. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... #academics @aaup.org @nytimes.com

This era shows why the academic work on settler societies (USA; Australia; South Africa), is so relevant to understanding the US today. We can have an inclusive democracy but it has a through-line of hatred & violence in defence of white masculine entitlement which is easy to activate at any point.

I know I probably sound like a deranged crank at this point, but it has seemed so obvious that we’re going to see infinitely more of this & related threats to funding over *this academic year* if we don’t collectively start rejecting these fascist tactics out of hand.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

#FreeDC Mass march hitting the streets of DC now.

About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”

It's Time to Release the Epstein Files. People who fight this hard to hide something have something to hide. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

So here is evidence of Trumpstein’s involvement in Epstein’s sex scheme. Girls being trafficked right here. Where is the attention???! @aoc.bsky.social @crockett.house.gov please do your thing! #Epstein

Excerpt from the Epstein tapes...you can find another longer clip on my Instagram account.

Horrifying account of Epstein’s abuse. There are many powerful people in NYC, DC and the rest of the world who should be quaking as survivors try again to get the attention of congress. open.substack.com/pub/bluepowe... #Epstein

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we don’t learn that beauty pageants were a front for sex trafficking. And we know who owned two of them and was friends with Epstein…. #Epstein #Epsteinfiles @nytimes.com @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social @crockett.house.gov

The vaccine works! Thanks Judith @1789jam.bsky.social for the post.

Years of dealing with racists has taught me that all racists are also misogynists, so when they say “protect our women and girls”, they are only speaking half the sentence out loud. The full sentence is “protect our women and girls because they are OUR prey”.
