EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: my staff is releasing a new report showing JPMorgan Chase executives – all the way to the top – enabled Epstein's sex trafficking operation. You're going to want to read this.

As soon as I heard Peter Thiel was doing lectures about the Antichrist, I figured it was time to talk with @gilduran.com again — and he did not disappoint. This is a great conversation not just about the Antichrist talk, but the broader project of Thiel and his fellow tech billionaires.

Lax oversight, few inspections leave child farmworkers exposed to toxic pesticides

“I want their morale as low as possible because a team with low morale is ineffective.” Meet the veteran who chases ICE on a scooter

in a moment when too much of the remaining opinion column space in the states seems to have been set aside for farcical, garbled thinking, so grateful for @elienyc.bsky.social, for his moral clarity, and for the way he wields the form.

The political problem here, similar to fascism, is people have forgotten how *bad* it was. When Nixon is the one signing the clean water act, you know things were BAD bad. But now we’ve kidded ourselves into believing the free market cleaned things up because it was good for business.

“Many of us are really scared, but we’re still showing up.” Nov. 16 was “the day the most immigrants were arrested in a single day” in North Carolina's history. As immigration raids are expected to escalate, locals are mobilizing to protect their neighbors @tinavasquez.bsky.social reports.

Sudanese researcher Lina Yassin explains the roots of the genocide in Sudan. “The UAE has been using the RSF militia to illegally smuggle gold out to finance the war and finance their own gold reserves.”

If only there were some sort of marketplace, perhaps online, where people could compare insurance plans and choose one for themselves. Perhaps with some financial assistance for those who need it….

As Tierra Walker's 14-year-old son performed CPR on his mother, he shouted, "I need you, I need you!" Does that sound 'pro-life' to you? Monsters.

As a Jew, I've always worried that "Never Again" would mean "Never Again TO US," but it's wild to see someone just come right out and say that.

Texas' abortion ban has killed another woman. Let's be very clear: Republicans are killing women. Democrats need to start calling them murderers loudly and often. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

When I think of all the incredibly talented, hardworking, and decent people I know who have had to leave academia for reasons they have no control over, and see shite like this, it does lean me towards the belief that huge chunks of academia are irredeemable.

are the reporters disgusted?????? are y'all ready to strap on your Tevas and freedom march down to the Vanity Fair?????

‘“Resistance” spans the hundred years or so during which the photographic print was the primary medium of visual communication. Aesthetically and technically, this makes sense. Politically, however, it’s curious.’ @trillingual.bsky.social on Steve McQueen. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Community organizing update from the Oregon coast: We asked people with lived food insecurity experience what they actually needed. Turns out it's NOT what we thought. Water-only prep items (many families have no milk/eggs). Seasonings (dignity = flavor). #MutualAid #CommunityOrganizing #FoodJustice

test the plausibility of this for yourself: ask "what sort of efforts would fully counteract the sociological effects of a system where people routinely sold their own children into labor camps?" and see how different your answer is from "years of open terrorism in defense of retrenching apartheid"

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 think that a lot of people on here need to read @jeannetheoharis.bsky.social's King of the North because a lot of you on here are ABSOLUTELY historically illiterate. I'm sorry but it has to be said: thenewpress.org/books/king-o...

For Gloria J. Browne-Marshall, empowering people to protest runs deep because it’s also a family affair. Her enslaved great-great grandmother protested against her slaveowners. #ProtestIsPower

Editors have a really hard job, and the good ones can make something unreadable readable, and the great ones can make something unreadable into something good. But they're basically invisible, until someone tries to write without one.

NEW—US Park Police w/ DHS officers near DC are increasingly pulling over Black and brown men, leaving their work vans on the side of the parkway + immediately calling a local towing company to take them. Families who just lost their breadwinner are stuck with the bill. @melbuer.bsky.social reports:

Rick Steves from 2014: "The more I travel, the clearer it seems to me: Fear is for people who don't get out much. These people don't see the world firsthand, so their opinions end up being shaped by sensationalistic media coverage geared toward selling ads."
