Redaction is to conceal confidential or sensitive info not already in the public domain. Below is a redacted version of Epstein's contact list produced by the DOJ pursuant to a federal law. But that's already publicly available in unredacted form at a website called "epsteinsblackbook.com"

Let the victims now name every one on the steps of Congress live on TV. It's the only way this shit gets dealt with.

They should cut it up and sell it like pieces of the True Cross

Computer, enhance

IF YOU READ NO OTHER PORTION OF THE EPSTEIN FILES TRANSPARENCY ACT, read this one. EVERY SINGLE DOCUMENT THEY WITHHOLD has to be indexed, published in the Federal Register, and submitted to Congress with an explanation. And scroll down to understand why THEY ARE NOT PERMITTED TO WITHHOLD IT ALL.

The Block The Bombs Act, which would legally suspend a large portion of American offensive military assistance to Israel, now has 60 cosponsors in the House of Representatives. It is also endorsed by the Congressional Progressive Caucus, the first ever Israel-Palestine related bill to acquire it.

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose

The fact that NPSM-7 defines “anti-fascism” as “anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism and anti-Christianity” gives the whole game away.

You know a thing that is very bad about this? This is the anti-trans playbook being played against women. Start with 'has the x movement failed the people it's supposed to help', then infantilize them, then make the case they can't be responsible for their own choices, then take their rights away

NEW: The FBI has launched "domestic terrorism" investigations into anti-ICE activity across the US. Some cases are under Trump's NSPM-7 order to crackdown on "anti-fascism" and "anti-Americanism." Docs obtained by @propertyofthepeople.org + shared w/ Guardian include FBI map of cases in 30+ states:

good fucking god

I would like people to clock that this is the future of the party and it's a far bigger threat than Trump unless they lose and lose badly

From a focus group of Gen Z Republicans. (www.city-journal.org/article/manh...) Tell me again about how Zohran Mamdani is the big threat to Jewish thriving in the US today.

So much for unanimity

Either you die in a pop-up tent, or you live long enough to be cucked by your angry christwife.

-Comes into your space uninvited, without permission -Greedily uses up resources preferentially - Forces a new mode of existence on you -Steals your own shit to sell back to you -Desperately wants to convince you that its arrival is good, that these are glad tidings AI or colonialism?

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

"Because there are no stones to build the graves, we cover them with plastic. When it rains, the bodies of our loved ones emerge."

As Trump's physical and political decline worsens, the cultish flattery from top aides has proportionally grown. As @moiradonegan.bsky.social says on the pod, Trumpworld is now puffing him up publicly to compensate for his deterioration. Moira is so good here: newrepublic.com/article/2046...

anyway, if the democrats could just flood the zone with "the amount of time you spend per day talking about children's genitals is creepy," and stop trying to meet bigots where they are, that'd be fucking swell they're throwing bad faith at you? return fire. fuck

tempted to make shirts & signage of some degree

In job interviews I was asked how I could help students feel safe in my classroom given I was palestinian. So anyway sure, I really believe your whiteness wasn't an asset 🙄

A fourth child has frozen to death in Gaza in just 10 days—two of them babies—as Israel continues blocking tents and winter shelter aid, despite UN supplies pre-positioned at the border that could immediately shelter more than 1.3 million displaced Palestinians.

Welp, I'll admit I didn't expect it but it looks like Congress finally invoked the 25th Amendment

"My daughter opposes genocide and also sexual abuse. Where did I go wrong?"

A must-read: Eric Reinhart on reclaiming 'politics itself–not as spectacle or identity but as the collective pursuit of the conditions for a full life ‘ www.newglobalpolitics.org/when-power-t...

Person A: I want to live a life of fulfillment and growth, free of strife and hatred. Person B: I want to murder you and your family and take your possessions for my own. Bari Weiss: Why won't Person A just talk it out and compromise?!

New Illustration: "We Beat 'Em Before..." Taken from a British WW2 poster, the original features a WW1 German soldier at the top. I just swapped it for the Nazi soldier it had at the bottom.

NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader. So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.

During our De-Stalinization program in 3 years, we can compromise and boot Kennedy’s name from the building too.

You don't get to choose what a people presently being terrorized and genocided in the name of your religion, chant in protest. You don't get to claim victimhood when you, safe in your Western home, support the ethnic-cleansing of an entire people from their land, again in the name of your religion.

it is terrifying and awful that this passed the House with any Dem support at all (and once again, the continued leadership support for Cuellar is unconscionable) call your senators and make absolutely sure this dies in the Senate, lives are on the line trans people deserve so much better

The human desire to kill is sickening. They’re arguing over whether or not a prisoner needs to be smart enough to understand the righteous justice they are so eager to impart.

They updated the website today to remove the word "independent" Before (left), after (right)

A thing to remember is that this happens a lot and the reason cops aren't better at this is that they very rarely have to be.

The Vanity Fair photographer from the Susie Wiles story. Holy. Shit. www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

It's so jarring to see how truly out of touch executives and upper management are, not just with what the public wants and expects, but with what their organizations actually even do

A major driving vector for AI, I think, is the same kind of business consultant who convinced everyone they needed "organizational agility" and "lean staffing" in the '90s

Ken Paxton has launched a snitch line to gather reports of supposed violations of Texas' transphobic bathroom policing law. Please do not abuse this snitch line. Please do not fill it with faff and nonsense. Please do not attach huge, unwieldy and irrelevant documentation to any reports.

Here's a starter pack of verified news outlets that swear off generative AI. @propublica.org could be on the list... if management listens to the Guild: go.bsky.app/8cn1XfT

2/ Our readers deserve clear labeling on AI content, and we deserve job security. Sign our petition for a fair contract and we’ll keep you updated on our campaign: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

1/ At bargaining yesterday, @propublica.org management said that they should have 100% discretion to replace workers with AI and would not commit to labeling future AI-generated content.

They developed the "high school girl's sports" angle as a wedge issue, to lever their way up to full society-wide discrimination. What's endlessly stunning to me is how many purported liberals a) helped them when it started & b) are still helping them even after the larger purpose has become clear!

No one can convince me otherwise that if these children were white, blonde hair blue eyed and from any country in the industrialised world, there would’ve been a different response from politicians and media

One of them was Northwestern, which paid Trump’s shakedown of $75 mil. Most trans profs at NU I knew are gone. I’m gone, and no longer teaching the LGBT reporting class in the hospital LGBT research institute (which no longer exists). This is at a university hospital in a blue city in a blue state!

Mr. Bongino said, "It turns out that eye-popping full-throated screaming about the libs is way easier and far more lucrative that whatever this job shit is all about."

Tech companies are actually pretty explicit about this: The point is to have a device that you can’t escape, one that always has access to you and makes you a constant source of data beyond what a phone does. Surveillance-first devices.
