Epstein was a monster, Trump is a monster, and so is the guy who gleefully posts about child rape being "the best thing to happen to the cause of freedom and democracy" w/out ever mentioning the victims, one of whom just died by suicide, and then using 3/33 of those posts to solicit your money. FO

A reminder that after years of speaking out against Epstein and giving other survivors the courage to come forward, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41. Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.

"It was Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday, and Ghislaine Maxwell was preparing a special gift to mark the occasion. She turned to Epstein’s family and friends. One of them was Donald Trump." (gift link)

Texas is a mediocre white man's paradise of unaccountability.

At a moment when the problems our world is facing feel insurmountable, I found a lot of inspiration in this. My friend and reporter Allison Herrera sat down with recently freed Leonard Peltier, one of the longest-serving political prisoners in the U.S.

The Ku Klux Klan Acts (passed in 1870 & 1871 to protect 14th amend rights) were a response to masked violent men who terrorized Black communities, violating their civil rights.The deployment of violent masked ICE ofcrs are tapping into this unique form of terror. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape. — Bell Hooks

Remember : Epstein’s victims have already told us the names of the men who had done a lot of these crimes, we know there’s a list, we know this is a cover up.

this is so fun

ABOLISH ICE

I'm aware of the wars on various constituencies we've been talking about. But a campaign addressing the Trumpian endeavors to starve children at home and abroad, to snatch their parents away in front of them, to deny them basic healthcare, deny their citizenship could have some impact.

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

In a mere matter of days, we can house migrants, but not our homeless. Because being cruel is always the motivation. #AlligatorAuschwitz

By making his homework public, Momdani shows he knows this city better than his rivals and opponents. And he shows other candidates in other races who might want to follow him how to proceed. bsky.app/profile/anil...

It’s a campaign as teach-in.

“Independence day is canceled because of fear of secret police raids” is really a level of on the nose political symbolism you just can’t make up.

@kairyssdal.bsky.social as a longtime listener and fan, I would love to hear @kenworthy.bsky.social come on your show and talk about the true costs of crowdfunding healthcare. 🙏

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this? Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids. She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms. Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen. 🧵

The bipartisan billionaires behind Andrew Cuomo’s comeback

Ok listen, I tried to be normal and post normal today. But it’s not a normal day. Everyone knows it. Everyone feels it. Fear Anticipation Dread Anger Outrage Disgust Despair Powerlessness There’s no pain killer for this part. We must endure it. Our only choice is resilience. #strongertogether

We live in a rogue and dangerous country. Do what you need to do to maintain your internal peace. Hold the core of your spirit. Pray for peace. Commit yourself to justice. And just rest.

Kinda scary and infuriating that a politician was murdered by a 45 supporter and it's barely in the news anymore. American media is trash.

If you’re not outraged by this, you really should be.

Who could have predicted this? A bunch of assholes drunk on perceived power? www.cnn.com/2025/02/04/u...

After 104 days of being unjustly detained for his advocacy for Palestinian rights, Mahmoud Khalil is finally home with his wife and newborn son. The First Amendment is not a suggestion. Mahmoud is free, and our fight for justice continues.

Mahmoud Khalil is free.

holy shit. Cuomo halted an investigation into the Weinstein case after a donation from Weinstein’s former lawyer’s firm to his reelection campaign… guys, this was in 2018 AFTER the Weinstein exposés (multiple) had been published & the #metoo movement was ascendant

A civil war is exactly what they want.

For real tho…

I can't wait to read this and live vicariously as I take down the debt police in my mind.

Political violence claimed the life of Rep. Melissa Hortman this weekend. She was reportedly targeted for the very values she championed. It's time to confront the growing alliance between anti-abortion extremism and political violence. Read more from Jennifer Weiss-Wolf.

20-year-old U.S. citizen Adrian Andrew Martinez was swarmed by ICE in Pico Rivera while defending someone. He never hit back—just struggled—before being slammed into a CBP van. No records. No lawyer. His mom can’t find him. This is abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop.

Experts say that there are links from the Minnesota shooting suspect’s background to Christian nationalism that could explain why he allegedly targeted lawmakers and pro-abortion advocates. Heard of "charismatic Christianity" before? If not, this one's for you- always read @tessowen.bsky.social:
