Epstein and Maxwell funded and were on the board of Seed Media Group, which created and ran Science Blogs. The Science Blogs. The premier network of science communicators.

I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte. ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018. We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:

100% And the Epstein scandal at its heart is about elite impunity and rich people literally screwing ordinary Americans with no consequences. There is a direct through line between this and oligarchs and elites stripping gov't for parts, making life unaffordable, cutting health care, etc.

Get in loser … we’re reinventing the rule of law from first principles

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures

Not to get all Sun Tzu on it, but when the enemy is weak and divided amongst itself, you do not relieve the enemy by allowing their partisans into your camp. You drive them closer together, force them into tighter company, and intensify their conflict.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

There are fewer than ten seats left for the Death Cafe in Ossining! Come chat about death with us. #deathcafe #deathpositive

Replying to @stella Watching people suffer and being unable to help is precisely why this bill exists. It gives the terminally ill power to choose what their end of life looks like. NYers don’t have the same choices people in other states have. #deathwithdignity #[email protected]

Replying to @stella The best way to respect people is to give them a choice; right now they don’t have one. #MedicalAidinDying #DeathWithDignity #deathpositive @governor.ny.gov

Zac Segal, Boston U runner and Young Republican alerted ICE to a car wash in Allston MA which had immigrants working - he said they were taking US jobs. ICE raided the car wash. All detained had legal status according to their lawyer. Segal was born and schooled in London. 🙄

Theory: The planning profession and local governments, especially in progressive areas, have over-emphasized process (e.g., public participation) at the cost of positive community outcomes (e.g., housing affordability, street safety). That needs to change.

Again my white girls! My lefty men go see em outside . It’s working

A Death Cafe is a cozy conversation, where people gather to talk openly about death, dying, and what matters most in life.. It's simply a space where you can ask, share or just listen. www.hvbooksforhumanity.com/events/death... #DeathPositive #deathcafe

slightly obsessed about the end of this lady's effigy tomb with the voluminous folds of her dress and petite heeled shoes

BREAKING: Pete Skandalakis, executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia, has appointed himself to prosecute the case against Trump and others in Fulton County. The move follows a court ruling that disqualified Fani Willis from pursuing the case.

It's so interesting that in the name of practicality we are urged to avoid any practical action; in the name of redemption we are urged to exonerate people who have shown no interest in redemption; in the name of civility we are urged to overlook the cruelty of those who scorn all civility

New York Times killed Weinstein and Epstein stories but just asked Ms Rachel if she was funded by Hamas.

Call @governor.ny.gov and urge her to sign the Medical Aid in Dying Law #deathpositive #medicalaidindying #endoflife #deathwithdignity

It’s been pretty clear for a while but brought to rack focus today, that successful people are encouraged to view rape as a perk of success and a great many successful people need no encouragement at all.

New: A judge in Washington has ruled images from Flock surveillance cameras are public records and that anyone can request them. Highlights the pervasiveness of this tech and just how much surveillance is being done. Very notable ruling www.404media.co/judge-rules-...

Hey Karoline Leavitt – if Donald Trump, DOJ, etc., were actually "transparent" (don't make me puke) they wouldn't be trying to pressure TF out of Lauren Boebert and Nancy Mace to change their votes re the discharge petition –  that's the very antithesis of transparency. Release the Epstein files!

A very large faction of one of America's two major parties is about to start openly saying "well as long as she wasn't PRE-pubescent it's fine" with their whole chest.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

It's largely flown under the radar with so much else going on, but the largest Pentecostal denomination in the US (Assemblies of God) is currently having its own massive reckoning and furious scandals about it, in a similar manner to Catholics and Southern Baptists before them. That context matters.

UPDATE — Here are the at least 11 congressional Democrats, 11 Democratic-aligned organizations, and 6 Democratic Senate candidates calling for Chuck Schumer to resign as leader:

Venezuela braces for imminent invasion from the United States. wapo.st/4nVu1it

the choice to never publicly talk about mod decisions (which is common policy of virtually every corporate social media platform) has been catastrophic for the legitimacy of content moderation. users don’t trust/understand policies, forcing them into a necessarily adversarial position towards mods.

I love a meme targeted for my demographic

Not a single Democratic Senator who voted NO on surrender with strongly worded posts, statements, emails, videos etc has publicly called on Schumer to resign as the Leader of the Democratic caucus. It’s telling. They are all mostly cowards - followers of public opinions instead of being leaders.

Cops shouldn't commit felonies.

There's full-on clickbait type shit going on all around me right now. Folks in suits are showing up and provoking arguments from protesters. At least two separate "teams" with one person to provoke and another to record.

I push my husband’s tush every night as god and the Eagles intended

The only thing redder than Bob Costas’ eyes during the Sochi Olympics, is Troy Aikman’s ears during tonight’s Monday Night Football game. Get that man a hat!

WE WEREN'T THE ONES WHO STOPPED FIGHTING

When Burlington author Bill Mares died after a cancer diagnosis, his wife, friends and neighbors finished his latest and last work, “2050: Vermonters Take a Swipe at the Future.”

Binders full of women.

Fine, I'll do it: Rep. Ro Khanna, a member of the Medicare for All and Congressional Progressive Caucuses who represents Silicon Valley, is the first sitting Democratic congressperson to demand the resignation of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. This tracker will be updated in real time: 🧵

See this? This is a case to potentially be concerned about!

Senate democrats are now the contractors of a Trump business project. Who wants to tell them how he settles his debts…?

Your favorite Italian-origin fusilli and macaroni are poised to disappear from US supermarket shelves. Italy’s biggest pasta exporters say import & antidumping duties totaling 107% on their pasta brands will make doing business in America too costly and are preparing to pull out of US stores in Jan

It is very weird seeing my friends and family slowly start to realize we're not overreacting.
