I was suspended right before the Epstein emails were released. If the BlueSky search engine works, you will find a wealth of posts from me about the people in those emails, who I wrote about in my books HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT and THEY KNEW. This is the work I feared would be erased on Twitter.

If Sarah Kendzior is indeed blocked on @bsky.app, this is a completely unjustified and highly questionable move. Sarah Kendzior is among the best voices of knowledge-based critical journalism in the US. See to it that this is corrected immediately and with an apology, @pfrazee.com!

Several of you have already asked what you can do to help and since this is buried at the end of a very long thread, I figured I'd quote it... it feels too much like begging to reach out individually to those who have already offered, so I figured I'll just post this and whoever sees it, sees it.

In case my bio isn’t clear enough, here’s my skircle. As in my offline life, I care a lot more the quality of my circle than the size of it. I don’t do a lot of posting so my skircle is mostly who I’m listening to & learning from. Are you paying attention to who you’re listening to?

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.

In a rare case of Substack notes usefulness, I just learned that Sarah Kendzior (author of They Knew and a brilliant writer) got bounced from Bluesky. What the hell? new @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

Does anyone have Marriott Bonvoy points they could donate to Jonathan? DM me.

@judiciarydems.senate.gov Do NOT make any deal that does not save ACA tax credits, end illegal budget cuts, & reverse federal workers layoffs.

@durbin.senate.gov I am unable to get through to even leave a message on any of your office phone #s. Do NOT vote to end the shutdown without saving ACA tax subsidies, the reinstatement of illegally fired federal workers, & blocking illegal budget cuts. I am one of your constituents.

I'm here outside Speaker Johnson’s office because he is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein Files. Change my mind.

One of the big ones.

Stop arguing with Black people on social media when we tell yall what it really is. We’re good over here (check the stats). Go into those spaces that’s preoccupied by the ones that need to hear it the most and make your voices as loud as they are when you invade Black spaces.

please support these folks now and hopefully when they end up in better circumstances

Anyone involved in a scheme like this should be tried as an enemy of the state and, when convicted, never allowed to walk free again. This poses a far greater risk to civilized society than any murder or violent crime someone would be sentenced to life in prison if convicted of.

"...a dirty little secret is that being “American” has never referred to ALL Americans." 1/ Black people "been knew". We have tried to warn and educate other non-white people about this, and white America has soothed itself by believing claims to the contrary. www.alternet.org/voting-right...

@blockclubchi.bsky.social doing the work so I can’t procrastinate by dissecting media portrayals of nuclear incidents & accidents.

What would happen if Chicago got nuked? A nuclear expert talks about "A House of Dynamite." blockclubchi.co/47PuMVi

November is Native American Heritage Month! We celebrate and honor the traditions, culture, and community of the country’s Native and Indigenous peoples. Here are some projects we once funded when we weren’t infiltrated by evil overlords. www.neh.gov/news/neh-res...

Please share. Thank you. #missing #missingperson #missingchild #nyc

The Trump administration’s lawlessness cannot be ignored. Period.

I’m up to something. 😈 Venmo: @JohnathanPerk CashApp: $JohnathanPerk

Fucking moron. We don’t test them anymore because 1) it’s unnecessary for us to do so & 2) it has consequences. Don’t get me wrong, I love me a good rocket sled & nuclear is my whole professional jam…depending on details it might be less dumb than selling Pu to techbros.

I’m humbly requesting your help with sharing this. I’ve known this kid Keith for decades. This film is now complete and heading to the film festival circuit. It’s very important to him and our community. As you all know that cost, if you feel inclined I’ve included his Venmo info in the post below.

#SNAP if you are in a position to donate to food pantries, please also take a few minutes to see if your workplace has charitable giving matches. My workplace uses Fidelity Netbenefits for our retirement savings accounts, which has donation matching built in if your company does it. Mine does 50%

Venmo: @JohnathanPerk CashApp: $JohnathanPerk Thanks, team.

Members of Congress are in Chicago today to conduct oversight of DHS’s unlawful, unconstitutional, unaccountable actions in Chicago. We are demanding accountability. WATCH:

Emergency/low-resource reproductive care in general is where its at for the forseeable. More perspectives on climate and birth.

What is everyone doing to help their fellow Americans this weekend? I am going to some local businesses to see if I can get some Food Bank donations. I have also been invited to a couple of events so I’ll be soliciting donations there too. 🥰🙌🏾

Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn’t want you to know her opponent’s name. That’s how desperate she is to keep her seat. I’m Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, and farmer. I’m running against her. Join me live now and every Friday at 7 am ET:

The reason I’m talking so much about the food at food pantries is because I want people to go. I want the stigma to be removed. Imagine it like a community garden. Feeding our neighbors is a great thing. I know folks who were too proud to go. Let’s end that.

Thank you @388shark.bsky.social if anyone doesn’t know how to find their local food pantries. Here’s how, share the info! ✌🏾

I'm so excited to launch Women for Juliana, a powerful coalition of women from across Illinois who are committed to this fight. Join us today at tinyurl.com/Women4Juliana or the link in my bio. Together, there's not a force in this world that can break us!

Join our People Power Action Call on Tuesday, October 28 at 8pm ET where our experts will discuss the fight ahead and how you can take action with us. RSVP today.

It arrived today. It will be very heavy for me to get through, but there will be something else too.

Y’all, it’s some kind of sign when @stephenking.bsky.social cannot find the words to express the horror. It’s probably not a good sign.

He’s catching a lot of flack for not being able to immediately stop IL law enforcement from cooperating with ICE, but he is taking *a lot* of serious action behind the scenes. Every lever he can find, as promised. Most of the ones that folks wish he would pull would escalate chaos & violence. 🧵

Spectacular(ly scary) article. I discovered @sarahkendzior.bsky.social in 2015 & a decade later she's still my go-to on all-things autocracy. "The Trump administration is a transnational crime syndicate masquerading as a government". Follow her. You won't regret it, I promise

This is…also going to have to be filed in the “not good” category.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

For those still believing revisionist history, enslaved people built the White House.

“Black people have been fighting for households for years, for decades, for generations” this is a powerful message that white people need to listen to. Not sure if it will be.

Call your reps immediately and demand they fully fund and reform transit in Illinois. This is absolutely imperative for the state’s long term economic health and quality of life. As the federal government collapses in on itself we cannot wait. Now is the time for us to define our own future.

#dosomething I emailed my county clerk’s office to find out how to become a Deputy Registrar (so that I can register people to vote). Compared to arguing online over whether or not #NoKings marching counts as action, this took very little time. I’ll report back. www.lwvil.org/news/become-...
