so this is a primary source, deathbed confession in essence along with an absolutely explicit statement that our president is in fact a practicing pedophile. Trump must be prosecuted and face Justice for his crimes.

evidently the sale of tiktok USA to Ellison's group is now officially going through. so please join me in deleting tiktok from all your devices.

for those of you, like me, who are looking to curate a list of reliable news/takes on what's going on. this is a pretty good place to start. smart people who are going to piss you off on occasion because they don't agree with your preconceived notions. (spoiler alert: they know a lot)

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.

I want to say to all my trans friends. members of the family, and Friends of the family. yes, these were just battles. but I think we're going to win the war. it was a good day.

I've just uninstalled Spotify from all my devices. I encourage you to do the same. 1. they support fascism via platforming ICE advertising. (advertising which is materially false representation of what ICE doing) 2. they exploit labor through absolutely inadequate artist compensation.

Trump won the 2024 elections by a little over 2 million votes. as of today he's illegally withholding SNAP benefits from around 25 million voters (about 40% of SNAP recipients are children. 86% of recipients report income)

well worth the read

your occasional reminder that Trump is sitting on emergency funds for exactly this purpose. and probably illegally withholding them. this entire shutdown is entirely on Trump and the GOP. in case you had any doubts which.. you know you shouldn't have

FFS the military people who carried out these illegal orders should be prosecuted.

so there is no study about circumcision and Tylenol and autism and anything else. this is simple anti-semitism. not Palestine, this is actual anti-semitism encouraged by not only RFK jr, but his boss who wants jew lawyers

the Marines put out a recruitment ad on social media. it shows them tackling Urban situations with lights on and finally landing on a debris ridden Street. the people who make these decisions are saying exactly what you think they're saying. you get to shoot your neighbor

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

why am I not surprised that media is not reporting that Trump's spiritual advisor just pled guilty to sexually abusing a 12-year-old?

How do these men and women look their children in the eye. How do they hug their daughters knowing they are protecting men who raped girls their age? open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Apple removes apps that allow for anonymous reporting of ICE activity. just in case you had any doubt that caving to Trump by giving him million dollar bribes doesn't buy you anything. don't pay bullies, all you're buying is more bullying.

The terror movie Bone Lake has been serving up advertisements to me recently. "you'd better have a safe word." as luck would have it, I have one. "pass"

fat 8%, saturated fat 18% added sugar 2g protein 20g 180 calories. vs. fat 10%, saturated fat 16%. added sugar 0g. protein 23g 170 calories one of these is 93% lean beef. the other a popular low sugar protein bar.

I have to say that the proliferation of AI responses on search engine results. and not just search engine results. is very disturbing to me, because they're extraordinarily hit and miss. but people are going to take them at face value when they are often fundamentally wrong. They're always promoted

One of the stupid things about this world is that you sort of get used to somebody. Gene hackman, Robert Redford. They're always going to be around, right? As it turns out no

nobody follows me and I'm okay with that. but anybody who points out what Charlie Kirk actually stood for is losing their jobs. free speech, don't you know! everybody who promotes his lazy racism, gots promoted

genocide, pure and simple

meanwhile... but by all means, let's let one of an average of 63 murders that happened in this country every day dominate every new cycle instead of discussing these things about the sitting president of the United States

I don't know what's up, but a reminder that you and I and most people don't know where the DNC headquarters are.

a reminder that we should not be wasting our energy and capital on the Charlie Kirk murder. we should be bringing the Epstein files, the book and these emails that Bloomberg has back to the front. clear evidence of our sitting president complicit with, and doubtlessly participating in pedophilia

Just so everyone is clear who we're, uhh, eulogizing today: A guy who made a career on getting people to believe this shit. (Reposted with ALT)

I guess as of now, it ought to be pointed out that we don't know that this is political violence. there's some reasons to think so, but we have no evidence of the motivations of this shooter (who is not in custody)

Wall Street journal is not caring live updates of mass shooting in Jefferson county Colorado at evergreen high School. where three people were critically injured according to initial reports.

It ought to go without saying that the Trump/Hegseth missile thing is first and foremost and extrajudicial killing in international waters. I.e. murder. And secondly illustrates the danger of letting emotionally stunted people play soldier.

since they failed to get a bill against the guy who threw the sandwich is the next logical step to try to indict the sandwich itself? or are they going to go directly to Abrego Garcia for this?

QuickBooks evidently doesn't know what *chef's kiss* means in social media circles. or perhaps they're marketing to people who don't know that it's making fun of them?

The New York Times and Chicken McNuggets? What's the connection? In both cases even if they're free, I will not consume them.

Ladies and gentlemen, the president of the United States...

free slurpees are very much, for me, in the same category as free chicken McNuggets. last time the latter were offered to me with no other purchase required, at lunch time. I didn't go over from the other side of the parking lot to get them.

Ann Coulter saying publicly that "we didn't kill enough Indians" is much more important than it seems. The right feels it's publicly acceptable to talk about the extermination of unfavored people as a people. Combine that with concentration camps, a massive secret police state...

"Give Me One Reason" is Tracy Chapman's song, not "Fast Car." Fight me!

I'm sure I'm not the only person who does this kind of thing. But I can go a year without saying the word "suffice" and yet this week I can't make two social media posts without using it. #Hopeless

WaPo instantly accepts the framing that Trump is "pausing all tariffs" which even excluding China is not true, he's leaving 10% on everybody, and adding 10% to the previous paused tariffs on Canada and mexico. It's not pausing any tariffs. It's reducing some of them. But Bezos must have approved

Watch as the entire media without exception lets Trump off the hook for the tariff fiasco. It won't even mention that it still has 10% tariffs on everybody except for China who has an incredibly punitive 104%. Because who cares about inflation as long as it isn't going up quite so much

@nytimes.com just emailed me with the hed "Trump just bet the farm" that phrase only has meaning if it's your farm, and Trump clearly is not betting any of his own money. Are there no editors? Are they trying to portray him as fearlessly taking a gamble? (With everybody else's farm by the way)

So in the united states, the national Park service is going to teach us about the underground railroad without mentioning Harriet Tubman. So we've got that going for us.

WaPo unhealthy tells us that the HHS personnel to the CDC etc are going to save 1.8 billion. This of course assumes that we don't have a pandemic that would require these individuals. In which case it won't save us 1.8 billion at all, it could cost us hundreds of billions.

As is usual The Washington Post in New York Times are ignoring what the citizenship requirement is actually going to do. Which is going to allow maga local officials to deny people they don't like from voting. Of course he doesn't have the power to do it. It's Jim Crow on steroids

The New York Times kindly informs us about a 56,000 mattress. In case you were unaware, in New York hundreds perhaps thousands of people sleep regularly on grates on the streets. Nothing to see here!

No notes

I needed a happy moment today and I got one. The gal who used to cart her aged dog around the park everyday had stopped coming. (Sadness!). She showed up again today with a very energetic puppy.

Placing USAID officials on leave for denying Musk lackey's illegal access, and allowing them such access puts us way beyond watergate. This is impeachable criminal activity.

The Washington Post "helpfully"informs us in their hed that he is spending freeze "could" be unconstitutional. Dear Jeff Bezos, no it is unconstitutional. There is supreme Court precedent. Yeah the current Court will probably uphold it if it ever gets there. But really, shouldn't we wait for it?

So the Pentagon is sending 1,500 troops to "secure" the Mexican border. Which means that each soldier will have to "secure" a little more than one mile of border 24 hours a day. Theatre. Bad, bad theatre.
