“One moment you're carrying this loveable little tyke on your shoulders, the next she's off, and you realize what you suspected all along: however much you love them, your own children are only ever on loan.” ― David Mitchell, The Bone Clocks #Photography Édouard Boubat, Nazaré, Portugal.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche needs to resign. He got the law wrong about patronizing sex parties with alleged child trafficking. He failed to redact names of victims & pictures of children. AND he moved Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum-security prison & got her a puppy.

Yes. Like… WTAF??

This is the guy who moved Maxwell to camp Fed. He knows the sickness in these files, and he is protecting the perpetrators.

Bravo Ted. We need justice for these women

In regards to Epstein’s victims: thank you for calling them children. That’s what they were, and too often, language has been used to pretend otherwise. The repeated effort to soften that word has always served power, not truth.👇

It’s fucking insane how hideous the #Epstein emails are. Yet 0 powerful people charged, in handcuffs, under blinding lights, disgraced by global news media. What are police/politicians doing? What are we, collectively, doing with this data? They abused(worse) girls. Who could be our daughters.

Of course it’s a woman who speaks up for the victims, the survivors, in the midst of her own suffering. Thank you, Melinda.

holy shit

A cautionary tale Republicans refused to learn. California tried this brand of cruelty. Prop 187 targeted immigrants and pretended it was “law and order.” Teachers and doctors were expected to turn families in. Kids were treated like evidence. It backfired. Hard. open.substack.com/pub/cwebbstu...

It is long past time for the #CanadianGovernment to exit "X" and delete all government accounts, including Prime Minister Mark Carney (@mark-carney.bsky.social ) I couldn't say it better myself (a vast global sewer) #wrldpoli #cdnpoli

Spanish PM Sánchez: The owner of X, himself a migrant, used his personal account to amplify disinformation about the sovereign decision of my government to regularize 500,000 migrants who live, work, and contribute to the success of our country.

New — I spoke to eight people who were present at the ICE protest on Saturday in Portland, Oregon when federal agents deployed tear gas and rubber bullets into a crowd of families, children, elderly and disabled people, and their pets. These are their stories:

The 10 companies to boycott during February: - Microsoft - Apple - Amazon - Google - Meta - OpenAI - Netflix - Paramount+ - Uber - X

It is sometimes easy to forget that Chretien is *92* and still able to go out and speak like this.

This is the standard. Anything less than this makes you a pedophile.

Premier Eby calls out treason of those meeting with American officials to break up our nation. CBC chastises Eby saying blunt talk will encourage the treason "curious" to commit treason. Since when are we worried about those who are "curious" about treason? #epicfail www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

Kyiv. Midnight. No power. -20 °C outside. We’ve been warned of a possible missile and drone attack. What more can I say?

Today 2/2/25, the Buddhist monks teach day 100 of their Walk for Peace. Today they’ll reach Richmond, Virginia. Today they ask you to join the walk and then a peace gathering. 👇

Our teams across #Gaza received seven patients, including two children, with injuries from Israeli attacks, in just three days, between Jan. 31 and Feb. 2, 2026. Hundreds of people have been killed since the #ceasefire agreement.

“Trying to go back to a phony-baloney corporate job of filing trademarks and talking about profit shares versus incentives and other just horse s--- is just so ultimately meaningless,” Young said. “I’ll figure something else out. But right now, my city needs me.’” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Auctioning off 13 year-old girls to rapists at Mar-a-Lago seems like it’s going to be a tough story to bury without dropping a few bombs this weekend.

I won’t stop reporting the truth. The First Amendment is the bedrock of our democracy, and I’ll continue to fight to protect it 🤝🏾🇺🇸

I'm so damned proud of my city and state.

Children raped and killed. American citizens shot in the street. Immigrants illegally shackled, tortured, killed. Journalists arrested. While a $300 million ballroom is constructed and a trash documentary released.

First place I’m taking my children on vacation when Trump is in prison. Minnesota is the bedrock of a global shift, and along with the protesters in Tehran, will make a powerful political difference. The world is witness to you in real time. Awe inspiring rising up! Thank you 🏳️ a 🇨🇦 neighbour

“It is one of the scariest moments of my life and in my career to know that a fellow journalist, an award winning journalist, a vetted journalist, whose credentials are impeccable, is right now sitting in federal custody for doing her duty.”

The apartment below mine had the only balcony of the house. I saw a girl standing on it, completely submerged in the pool of autumn twilight. She wasn't doing a thing that I could see, except standing there leaning on the balcony railing, holding the universe together. ― J.D. Salinger, A Girl I Knew
