Rebooting this.

Call me petty, but the Epstein class should pay for every last child’s college education. Potential without any opportunities in life dies in the vine.

@luckyshitt.bsky.social I am swinging for the fences again. What do you think?

I have not gone to ground, y'all. But I have been furiously working to create tools for citizen journalism. The Epstein Class should be held accountable. Reparations in the order of paying for college scholarships or some thing similar seems like a sliver of justice. What do you think?

Not the most important detail but “Ms. Campbell was living in Moscow from 2008 to 2013…”?

This might break the perpetual cycle of campaign fundraising. Worth watching to see what happens. Recently @johnfugelsang.bsky.social got his book on the Times bestseller without a traditional book release strategy. 🧐

Polish Deputy Prime Minister of Foreign Affairs Radek Sikorski: “Europe is now paying for this war. We are buying American weapons to deliver to Ukraine. US supplemental package ran out last year. We are paying, this is our security and therefore we deserve a seat at the negotiating table.”

If Carl Sagan was still alive, I am thinking the Voter Panic of this administration would be alongside Satanic Panic for a contemporary mass hysteria phenomenon.

Too many people amassing astronomic wealth fundamentally do not believe in the idea that all people are equal and deserve equal rights, and they are spending their money on those ideas. This is the story.

Of course the did. Just a construction worker, but summer of 2025 was the climate Rubicon. Hope I am wrong.

I’m old enough to remember Preet brought down the Gambino crime family.

“When Citizens United was decided in 2010, billionaires had spent $18 million on the 2000 election, $13M 2004 and $16M in 2008. Then came the deluge. In 2012 it was $231M, and nearly doubled again in next three election cycles —to $682M in 2016, $1.2 billion in 2020 and $2.6 billion in 2024.” Gift:

When I read about a fascinating-sounding political science book these days, it's not uncommon that I read the description and get very excited only to discover it's only about the US, and am instantly deflated. It's a bit depressing how irrelevant non-comparative work on the US seems these days

An executive order signed by New Jersey’s governor opens jury duty to people with past convictions who were previously banned. This means that the pool of eligible jurors in New Jersey will instantly become much more reflective of the state's demographics.

Judge Reyes’s conclusion: “There is an old adage among lawyers. If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither, pound the table. … Having neither and bringing the adage into the 21st century, [Noem] pounds X (f/k/a Twitter).”

From a video of Portland. Not sure who to credit. When I do I will put it in the replies. What projectile from the Feds did that damage to the flag?

#ToughCivicLoveandCoffee So, I see the Enlightenment as having been parlor games for the rich. And the philosophizing done in this moment is done by a few. Fault Lines in the Constitution by Sandy Levinson gets to the root problem that Structural change needs to happen. 1/4

#lookfortheplanners #FD2D I have limited bandwidth, I can't change that easily. So far, Sharp's book From Dictatorship to Democracy is the guide book I feel confident in. This clip weighs heavy on my mind. I suspect any secrecy leanings as unserious political defiance efforts.
