With that smug smile on the interviewer’s face, you’d barely know that this is about the kidnapping, torture, and sexual assault of innocent people.

#SICB2026 is fast approaching! Come see my talk on sex-biased parasitism and mixed evidence for a Red Queen Dynamic as part of the Sex Across Origins complimentary session on Jan 6th at 11:15 AM in B113!

Believe the victims Believe the victims Believe the victims Maria Farmer first went to the FBI to warn them about Epstein in 1996. She was ignored Mass abuse followed She’s been called a liar & an attention seeker for decades One of the files released today vindicated her

What a horrible human being, defined by opportunism and indifference to harm.

Nobody works this hard for this long to cover up something this bad unless they are guilty.

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines. It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States. And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

What’s haunting me is how similar theses lawsuits look to the explanations your average POC gets in HR and performance meetings when confronted with promotions or trying to handle inequity .

Jack Smith's information belongs to the US public. This government belongs to us. Information about this government belongs to us. This government exists at the behest of the US public. It's infuriating that they have these investigations and yet they're secret These people serve us. It's ours.

Consumer-facing “A.i.” is a fascist project of right wing billionaires to replace actual knowledge and human interaction with lies, disinformation, slop, and propaganda.

It’s wild how folks get the racism after. … as long as the most affected by it aren’t the ones saying But when it’s happening … it’s “bias” And if you later point out “When people who claim to be appalled had power they helped silence .. they say that’s why they don’t listen”

Michael weatherly must know where bodies are buried because why do they keep giving him work

Awkward.

"we only use AI for coming up with ideas" no you don't. you use AI to come up with the a bland version of other people's ideas. there is currently NOBODY more replaceable than you

Donald Trump ordered that the Affordable Care Act subsidies be canceled immediately because of his disdain for Barack Obama, he doesn't care about Americans this is retribution.

After he’s gone. It will be: “I never agreed with him. It was the political moment and I got caught up in it. I never believed in him. I was just afraid.” No MF. We will hold you accountable for ALL time. You don’t get out of it. We will remind you every time you talk.

This Epstein files "release" is the most disgusting cover up in American history

Remember when he said this?

Israel is potentially bringing back the death penalty… exclusively for Palestinians. But don’t you DARE call it an apartheid state. www.cbc.ca/news/world/i...

I just want to start this with: I compiled this bot with hundreds of reasons that queer and LGBT+ people gave to live. I did it knowing some people would find it saccharine and corny. If that's you: you're fine. There's nothing wrong with you. It's ok to block and mute this account.

"Nearly a decade of abandoning all her principles in service to Trump and she's been left empty-handed and forced to weakly smile through it."

“You got great eyes, kid.” Love this man. He’s one-of-one.

True progress isn't about how many safe-looking women you can fit into a press release; it's about whether you have the stomach to back the creators who are actually challenging the industry's existing power structures. #transrights #indiegaming #womenledgaming #gayyyy

I wouldn't be surprised if this was only the start of a barrage of misattributed photos or outright AI fabrications.

ICYMI: “TikTok signs deal to spin-off U.S. operations to a group controlled by mostly 🇺🇸 investors, including software giant Oracle — run by billionaire Trump ally Larry Ellison.” The Ellisons/Trump allies gobbling up everything, to control what we see. www.npr.org/2025/12/18/n...

Really appreciate the justified anger in this piece by @ryanlcooper.com. The GOP's narrative about trans people "is and always has been a lie. What these people actually have is a seething, obsessive hatred of trans people. They want them either back in the closet or dead."

Predictably disgusting.

Every detention bed is a contract. Every contract creates pressure. That’s the mechanism hiding in plain sight.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

This is precisely how fascism works, by grabbing at and taking away a little more freedom whenever events lend themselves to it. Bit by bit you lose your rights, until you turn around and realize the road you're on has been long, and democracy is well behind you over the horizon.

Those are only the ones they cannot hide

In Tennessee, ICE and local police abducted a pregnant woman who gave birth while in custody. They then kidnapped her newborn baby just 2½ days later.
