Sick to my stomach that the President being mixed up with a horrifying global network of pedophiles is considered a 'voter issue' and not something the whole world needs to know about and people need to be prosecuted for. Only reason anyone would want people to ignore Epstein is if you're involved

Brother , I HATE aTm, but not as much as I hate the fact that the rules analyst only exists on televised football coverage to convince you the blown calls aren’t blown calls (that was not a hold on the OL, even though it didn’t cost aTm anything in the end).

My wokest opinion is land acknowledgements should be mandatory plus, taking a cue from our own Dalhousie Indigenous Student society, *every single time* it must include a concise progress report on what the institution's actually done to advance indigenous studies, student support, and land return.

my wife worked for a catholic hospital and gave birth to our last child there and _their own obstetrician_ told her to get her tubes tied because it was _medically necessary_ and the hospital wouldn't allow it to be done with her c-section because it was against their beliefs, even though we're jews

1 & 2 aren’t really at odds. We only think they are bc 3 is largely a cover for “separate the privileged kids (destined for smart guy jobs) from the marginalized kids (destined to serve).” I say that as a poor person who won the meritocracy race and is well aware of who I competed against and why.

Bro, that Kouassi/Monday goal is so unfair. That’s a PORTLAND corner and the Spirit were like “We got you right where we want you!” #NWSL @nwslsoccer.com

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

A moment for the culture 🇳🇬 Gift Monday and Deborah Abiodun checking in for #NWSLPlayoffs

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

This is important context from Julie K. Brown. With alt text.

Dog they reenacted Jim Crow and apartheid in front of our faces in less than five years because we just STARTED to hold them accountable Stop asking “How could this happen” Start asking “ How does this never happen again”

"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..." Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night: www.propublica.org/article/chic...

God I love this so much. (From Elleza Kelley, quoted in Robin Kelley's Twenty Years of Freedom Dreams in the Boston Review)

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’ —Alice Wong

How could that have happened, they only never shut up about it

They're running from it now. But the fact that Senate Republicans tried to give 10 of their colleagues at least $1 million each for nothing but a bogus press op captures the corruption of Trump II. In no other environment wld this even occur to the most corrupt politicians.

i would like more democrats to start promising to lock these fuckers up

Honestly love to see it and want to see it 49 more times (Source for the screenshot within a screenshot: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...)

everyone needs to respond like this tbqh.

the story is about how the American elite is rotten to its very marrow, to the extent that half of it was plotting and scheming about how to use Trump to advance their own venal interests before he even won

Same energy

Time once again for my favorite @smoothdunk2.bsky.social comic

it's like people are coming up with cultural narratives to avoid the conclusion that children are a powerless oppressed class. when kids get abused the message we send is: you better not form any kind of group solidarity, instead you should learn that you are natural objects off contempt

Dylan Blaha rejects that logic entirely. He said Democrats who take such advice “aren’t bad people, but they’re getting bad guidance from consultants who say, ‘Don’t talk about trans rights; it’s not a winning issue.’ That’s disgusting to me. You don’t win by abandoning your values.”

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

And I know I'm gonna sound like a broken record, but what got us here is hierarchy Children are at the lowest points in our social order, and thus, the most vulnerable

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative. The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

Mar-a-Lago seems to be a sex trafficking hub and it would behoove us to demolish and salt that earth when and if we’re able.

I just remembered this from Glenn Kessler 3 months ago

The same Ken Starr who left Baylor university in disgrace after aiding and abetting the coverup of a multi-year sexual harassment and rape spree by the football team. He is a powerful white Christian man. Covering up rape is his thing.

At what point does the New York Times get charged as organizationally conspiring to abet human trafficking of minors.

If only our society took major crimes by rich people as seriously as minor crimes by poor people. Ideally more seriously. But as seriously would be a big improvement.

epstein in dozens of pieces of written documentation: the presidential candidate my best friend loves coming over to my house for the young girls i rent reporters: we are getting closer to busting this thing wide open

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

The president of the united states is a pedophile rapist who was best buddies with Jeffrey Epstein and spent hours with an underage victim at Epstein's home. Now he's currently huddled in the situation room directing a cover up about it like it's a seal team 6 operation. Do I have that right?

You see Trump working the phones and realize White Housers are looking at this morning's emails and thinking, who cares abuot those nothingburgers we need to flip boebert so the bad stuff doesn't come out.

Folks, the reporting is that Trump is making PERSONAL CALLS to Mace, MTG and others about the discharge petition. Would you be doing this if you had nothing to hide? Let's please all be serious here.

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes. Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

It also leaks into maths instruction where they will tell you that your kids are being left to reinvent mathematics from scratch because the pedagogy moved (incredibly slightly!) towards making sense of shit instead of blind memorization.

My amazing, brilliant mutuals who are not literacy scholars—pleaaaasseee do not spread the moral panic about three-cueing v. phonics. The idea that this is what we should blame for our so-called literacy crisis is the product of a literal podcast & click-bait articles, not actual scholarship.

The only way to win is to do what keeps losing, because what just won can't win. At a certain point it stops being gaslight and starts being deadlight.

NEWS: The UK is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/11/p...

Authoritarianism can only succeed when democracy fails to deliver for working people. Authoritarian parties can only succeed when the pro-democracy parties fail to fight for working people. We need a new democracy and a new party system which can represent working people.

I do think this is a point of radicalization because a lot of angry, angry normal people were ready to dig in and suffer a lot in order to make fascists suffer a little, and their resolution was sold out and made into a mockery

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.

anyway if dems think I'm gonna forget this shit in 5 months, they're wrong. if they think I'm gonna forget it in 5 years, they're wrong. they have fully convinced me that purging the party of these inept losers in the senate is more important than retaking the senate in the next election cycle

What's crazy about this take is how the Sydney Sweeney discourse flared up again on X last week but was completely ignored on here. His brain is cooked on reactionary discourse and thinks everyone has his warped conception of a view on it.
