NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Summer #Crow

@repdangoldman.bsky.social is the best. We need more members of Congress like him. 👏👏👏

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Let me get this straight: The Right has spent years calling trans people, drag performers, queers, teachers and librarians "groomers" -- but Epstein and Trump are NOT child molesters, because *checks notes* their victims were young-looking 15-year-olds?!

Not seeing the “extinction level event” for THC farmers/manufacturing talked about much thehill.com/policy/healt...

I don’t mean to brag but I live with a #dog who looks at me like this most days and it makes my heart SING #BestFeeling #DogsAreTheBest

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

That was my thought as well. He was a giant at one time. What a pathetic end.

@schumer.senate.gov you got NOTHING. Democrats totally sold out their voters. The loss of the ACA subsidies will be catastrophic and you totally fumbled this. #SchumerMustGo

Hard to see @schumer.senate.gov being able to stay in leadership after this or in the senate, he was not the man for this moment

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

The senate dems are about to embarrass themselves and us AGAIN! I hope these reports are not true.

If they cave, it reinforces my sense that the real problem with the democrats is not “wokeness,” but the fact that they don’t stand for anything and are willing to fight for nothing. It’s worse than being useless; it is collaboration.

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave. It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

no one has ever been better than chuck schumer at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

Hello, I’m Saeed and I’d like to recommend a great movie to watch. “Hedda” starring Tessa Thompson, directed by Nia DiCosta. If you love dangerous queer women, big parties and even bigger scandals, this adaption is for you. You’re welcome. (No, no, I wasn’t looking for feedback.)

I do think that any other product known to cause delusions, exacerbate psychotic symptoms, heighten risk of suicide and cause notable cognitive declines in a remarkably short period of time would, and should, be rapidly outlawed.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Congratulations to my friends in New York. Now can we please shift the focus to Chicago? (These items are all from today.)

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

“The name is My Bobby, M-Y-B-O-B-B-Y” #Mamdani for the win!

They gutted the Washington Post. CBS. NYT. Now Teen Vogue. The point isn't to bring in more conservatives. They've reached that saturation point. They are killing the fourth estate and buying up the social media to control the messages we see. These were all targeted to disarm the left of truth.

Teen Vogue popularised the term “gaslighting” during the first Trump administration. Seems like Epstein’s boys are still silencing teen girls! Conde Nast has picked a side. And not a good one.

Beautiful sunny morning, whistle for the crows and they fly to the yard right away. Coffee with the crows was lovely, now onto the last community garden day of the season to button things up until spring. Love my little rural queer life 🥰🍂🍁

He also rightly pointed out that when the KY legislature passed the ban there was only one trans athlete in the whole state--a seventh grader kicked off the field hockey team she started www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived.

Who's Paying to Wreck the White House? open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

A felon with a conviction on 34 counts and pending trials for several more, tore down our White House (not his, we own it) on a whim and without regard to law or Constitutional norms of oversight, and mocks the Rule of Law daily. How's that sit with you law and order types?

Chilly morning for #coffee with #crows who are especially opinionated this morning! I was in the garden this weekend and for a minute the whole group flew in circles over my head chattering away to get my attention. I feel so lucky to know this little crew 🐦‍⬛

Good morning and happy Tuesday to everyone. Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir drops today and contains the truth she wanted the world to hear about Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, who groomed her to become a sex slave for Epstein and his wealthy friends. Buy it. Read it. Give her justice.

Google seems to have turned off the -ai in search on iPhone (Safari browser)and overrides it to return an AI-generated result now. Anyone got a fucking workaround on this bc I do not want to see that shit

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

Good morning everyone! After some rough times, we’re heading into yet another shutdown week feeling lifted by the community spirit of the #NoKings marches. We’re going to call our reps to make sure they’re paying attention. What are you doing to help keep the momentum going?

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

Shout out to all the small town protesters out there. There is no anonymity in a tiny town. No strength in numbers or hiding in a crowd. When you stand up for democracy in a small town, EVERYONE knows. Y'all are brave as hell. #NoKings
