Wow! Letter from Epstein to a convicted sex offender Larry Nassar right before Epstein’s death. This was in the files the DOJ released last night and then removed from their site.

The Palestinian writer and human rights activist Raja Shehadeh has been documenting life under Israeli occupation for decades. On “The Interview,” he said he believes that peace between the Israelis and Palestinians is possible, but much would need to be fundamentally reconsidered. trib.al/R03CH7A

Who is willing to ask the questions?

Too long for the character limit but

The whole play of Trumpism: convincing working class people to blame other working class people—so billionaires can keep robbing us all.

The top-10 carmakers by market cap make up 75% of global passenger car sales. Tesla makes up less than 2%. The Tesla bubble will be widely documented in history books.

Do I understand correctly that there is now a dispute within the administration about whether this "peace plan" was written by Russians or Americans?

Trump said America needs H1B visas because Americans don’t have the necessary ‘talent.’ He said we need 600k Chinese students to keep colleges afloat. And MAGA just torpedoed your healthcare. Isn’t that Great?

The Polish prime minister reacts

Good. But as always in these situations, the lingering question is "why did it take this circumstance to produce this outcome?" Why do the investigations always focus just on the particulars of a given accusation and not on the inability of an institution to live into what it claims as values?

It’s the images of the carnage. Not the carnage itself.

Well worth reading - how does this guy have so much influence?

Trump’s comments on H-1B visas were “a little hard to stomach,” said one Fox News host.

Steve Bannon today sent an unmistakable signal that he's on Tucker Carlson's side in the aftermath of his interview with Nick Fuentes. Bannon had a friendly interview with Ryan Neuhaus, recently departed from Heritage for his role in defending the Carlson-Fuentes interview. New at @mmfa.bsky.social

I can’t answer that. The wind is at their backs and he will be primaried. He is doing nothing but ginning up the mob who’ll follow him everywhere. It makes no sense for the caucus or for himself.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

A ‘Mamdani Monitor’?? Zohran RESPONDS to the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt for vowing to “track” his admin for antisemitism. “I have some doubts in Jonathan's ability to do so honestly, given that he previously said I had not visited any synagogues only to have to correct himself.” zeteo.com/subscribe

Ok, AIPAC Shakur. You are such a sell-out. Can't wait until you are primaried out.

Quote of the decade. The Dems, brought to peer by AIPAC, should run and hide in shame.

How long until someone slips on that marble and cracks their head open?

Americans are on the verge of losing their ability to choose their government. But they don't seem to have realized it yet.

I don't think we understand just how bad the decline of the Internet is to knowledge. 3 years ago, I could perform a very basic search in any engine and get an absurd number of relevant links, research articles, etc. Today, I can perform the same search and find absolutely nothing.

Always told liberals Bill Maher was a racist piece of shit, especially against Muslims and Arabs, and we were ignored for years. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee. But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education. A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

I have a lot of questions about this. A LOT of

This is what the 25th Amendment is for.

The GINI coefficient - a measure of economic inequality - is about 0.47 in 2025 and going up. In 1929, it was 0.51.

Oh baby

Ask yourself: is it genocide?

If a pharmaceutical company could mass produce whatever compassion pills Marjorie Taylor Greene seems to have been taking lately, we could save the world

So - let me get this straight… They’ll ban social media for under 16s even though most experts say it WON’T work But they won’t ban gambling advertising & other key recommendations even though most experts say it WILL work What? #4corners #auspol

I watched 4 Corners on Gambling. I knew it is a problem but I am astounded at the Shitfuckery the industry performs to secure and trap high value out of control gamblers and more astounded that regulators and govt does SFA about it. They’ve gone after tobacco big time but not gambling. Hypocrites.

The laid off employees are ALL Democrats. If you are a Dem fed, you are not getting paid.

Why has this happened and what is being done about it, @fairfaxdemocrats.bsky.social - electricity is fundamental.

Is this really the heart of the problem in the US right now @financialtimes.com?

They’ve turned everyone in Chicago into extras in Stephen Miller’s villainous, unconstitutional, authoritarian fantasy

Macron: “We’ve been guilty of handing over our public democratic space to social networks owned by big American and Chinese firms whose interests are not in the survival and the functioning of our democracy." I'm quite hopeful that French-German leadership on tech sovereignty can achieve something.

The obscene face of Christian Nationalism: outlandish untaxed wealth in defiance of Jesus. Oh, and this time, slave laborers, too! Glory! Just remember, for any money you give to Heaven, there is always a 100% handling fee here on Earth.

Many Americans have been fired or had their free-speech rights violated because of their statements about the war in Gaza. To be true defenders of the First Amendment, the Democrats would have to stand up for them, too, Jay Caspian Kang writes.

This. Is. Brilliant.
