Epstein’s War

This is real. A government agency calling Americans performing their democratic right of protest “imbecilic morons.” This Trump regime is a poison and never should have gotten power. A total disgrace.

"Honey I'm gonna pick up some overtime this weekend and be a racist on national television!!"

This is a brilliant thread by rahaeli against the simple, obvious and wrong demand for identity. Moderation needs something different, and it is a skill. Previously: epeus.blogspot.com/2011/08/goog...

SHAMEFUL Rep. Greene is now getting death threats vbecause of what the POTUS has said about her, and her position on the Epstein files. POLITICAL VIOLENCE IS *NEVER ACCEPTABLE*

A lot of education discourse is at root an inability to decide whether the purpose of our education system is to 1) teach material and measure learning 2) reward students who work hard 3) separate the smart kids (destined for smart guy jobs) from the dumb kids (destined to serve the smart guys)

Quick little video I made last night: #MikesOccasionalDistraction #ModelRailroad www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz4u...

Had 4 years of outrage media coverage of Hunter Biden having a board seat but not quite as much energy directed to what is basically legalized bribery. Need your tariffs cut? Just hand Trump a <checks notes> $130,000 solid gold bar and a bespoke Rolex desk clock. Media shrugs.

This is me at 15. I’m a child. I’m a CHILD.

basically every time there's an issue here with moderation it turns out the person involved is bullshitting the Bluesky comms team sucks, but people should learn to be a bit suspect

The fuckin bears did it. They built the toilet paper MOAB

emerging reports about possibly imminent US military attack on venezuela. there can be no doubt about it, certainly not in the coverage: such an attack would be an act of aggression, lacking any basis in international law. we'll get sophistic arguments about self-defense but none will be legit.

Donald Trump has not quite made being a Democrat or opposed to him illegal. But he has done everything short of that. Prosecuting Dems. Classifying groups that oppose him (Antifa) as terrorists. Deporting/blocking entry of people who criticize him. Keeping federal funds from Dem states & cities.

Nice job senate republicans you fucking clowns

Yesterday Ukraine blew up the Novorossiysk oil refinery, which is still burning furiously. Today Russia has been forced to suspend all exports - 2.2 million barrels a day. That sound you now hear is the Russian economy burning.

"Prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship & advising a foreign graduate student or postdoc. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding." Dictators despise science.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

Attorney: Can 13-year olds consent to sex? Republicans: CAN THEY EVER

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

Shorter Megyn Kelly: we have to make Epstein's pedophilia acceptable because proof that Trump raped middle schoolers with him is about to come out." We've passed the "he didn't do it" stage and are now at the "if he did do it, it wasn't illegal" stage.

You all understand that this is being done to immunize the use of the Alien Enemies Act from further review, right? Like ... the one thing everyone agrees on is that if there's a live war, he has AEA powers

Karoline Leavitt standing in front of her sole job description

This is flat out false. The 2011 email between Maxwell and Epstein, which confirms that Trump spent HOURS in Epstein's home with one of Epstein's victims, is news in and of itself

A lot of the legacy media only exist because of their access to people in positions of power. They can't go against that, that's why they aren't addressing Trump's obvious health problems in any real way. What was the MRI for? Why does Kim Jong Leavitt lie about it? Why does no one follow up?

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump. The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally. Here's hoping this article on Zac boasting about how he ruined some immigrants' lives follows him around for a very long time.

This guy’s name is Zac Segal. I hope no one forgets what he did.

Enten: "Trump is 39 below water on the Epstein case. 39 points in the negative! My goodness gracious. What Trump has been selling on the Epstein files, the Epstein case, the American people have not been buying at all ... less than half of Republicans are buying it. This is his worst issue by far"

1. BREAKING The US Conference of Catholic Bishops has issued a statement admonishing the Trump administration’s immigration actions. The last time they issued such a statement was in 2013 in response to contraception mandates.

how did i go so long not knowing we were literally teaching people to read wrong. i knew something wasn't right but jesus christ www.apmreports.org/episode/2019...

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?

So... now MAGA is at war with both acetaminophen *and* ibuprofen?

Right now, Karoline Leavitt is being coached on how to say “ephebophilia” in the least creepy way possible.

At least this is the NYT front page above the fold

“There are other ways for us to invest“ and ensure that the city gets the same rate of return, said Chicago city treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin. “We will not bankroll Trump’s authoritarian regime.”

Michael Wolff suggests in an email (in 2015) that if Trump were to say in public that he had never been to Epstein’s house or on his plane, Epstein would have leverage over him. Which…means that Trump was at his house and on his plane and that Epstein had the receipts to prove it. So.

New York Times reporter Annie Karni on Rep. Lauren Boebert and the Epstein files.

the newly released Epstein emails are getting coverage on Fox News 👀

🔥 The White House released an article on Monday citing a DoorDash report as confirmation that "inflation has been tamed." I asked a DoorDash spokesperson today if the company had concluded from its report that inflation had been tamed. DoorDash spokesperson told me, "We did not write that."

YES!!! JUDGE ORDERS OVER 600 DETAINEES BE RELEASED ON BOND FROM BROADVIEW AND ELSEWHERE!! A short while ago Judge Cummings of the Illinois District Court *ordered* DHS to allow more than 600 detainees to be released on bond, provided they don't have a criminal record or a prior order for removal.

Not really huge, but it makes me glad and it should you too that oil, Exxon and Tesla are down whereas Ford and GM stocks are up on news that Americans are still indicating they are going to continue buying EVs.

This is who represents our country right now. Never forget that Katie Johnston accused Trump of forcing her to perform a sexual act on him at one of Epstein‘s parties when she was only 13 years old she received death threats and withdrew the case because she feared for her life.

I drove to the absolute middle of nowhere in Romania to check out a theme park someone built inside this abandoned salt mine. 

a massive loss for Indian history and culture. I grew up on these books, as did countless others in the diaspora; you can basically view Amar Chitra Katha as D'Aulaires for ancient Hindu mythology. such a loss www.bbc.com/news/article...

I have a program that randomly changes my computer screen background. The most recent photo was quite the treat! Looks like I took this one not so long ago, back in June of this year. #MikesOccasionalDistraction

I remember the discussion early in his first term about "flooding the zone with shit", and how that (I believe Bannon's) strategy meant overwhelming people's ability to pay attention and stay engaged to the point they could say or do anything and people would remain zoned out. It's mostly worked.

OVERT ACT 125 In additional furtherance of the conspiracy, DEFENDANTS met on November 12, 2025 to discuss ways to wield official government power to prevent further news of the child sex trafficking ring from becoming public.

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

NEW: The classified opinion by Trump's Office of Legal Counsel says the US personnel taking part in lethal strikes on boats would not be exposed to future prosecution, per sources. “It sounds like an admission that there is no legal basis for these strikes” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

My God I had never read that account and I'm very online so I'm guessing a lot of people haven't read it either.
