Amid everything else I had almost forgotten that even without a pardon, Trump has offered Ghislaine Maxwell amenities unexplainable by anything but some sort of quid pro quo.

Me, wisely: "But *his* emails"

We really need to start asking who paid off his debts again

the actual name I am least surprised to see on here

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Oh. I see. Brett. ⚖️‼️

Epstein, like Musk, was obsessed with his own genes being spread far and wide. If you get the idea you, personally, are superior and therefore you can't be denied access to any woman or child, you see the overlap between eugenics, rape culture, and power.

.....it's mind boggling how somehow every new reveal is worse than the last one, when the first reveals were all "you know that crime that is literally the worst crime that you could conceive of somebody else doing? President did that a lot"

"Jeffrey Epstein claims he gave Russians insight into Trump. Newly released emails show the late convicted sex offender’s extensive network of foreign contacts, whom he corresponded with about Trump’s policy decisions." www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Todd Blanche would have had these emails before interviewing Maxwell. Why didn’t he question her directly about her exchanges? Why did he not follow up when she said things that were onviously a lie?? This shows that was a performance intended to dupe the public and benefit her (and Trump)

An important side note about today's Epstein/Trump revelations. They show that Todd Blanche's questioning of Maxwell was either (a) completely incompetent; or (b) intentionally crafted not to elicit facts incriminating Trump. Either way, he is not fit to serve as Deputy Attorney General.

POTUS gave a convicted child sex abuser favorable treatment, and dangled the prospect of a pardon, so she would tell lies about if he was implicated in her crimes. That's not speculative or circumstantial, it's a cold hard proven fact, in and of itself more than enough to demand removal from office.

I just want to mention that this was a New York Times reporter Epstein was talking to, and the NYT has never disclosed these emails or any photos conveyed.

When there’s documented evidence of both you committing sexual assault and creeping on young girls, it’s hard to have your administration claim you didn’t also commit sexual assault against young girls

House Dems got the new Epstein emails from Epstein's estate not Trump's DOJ Same with the birthday card Even though DOJ certainly has them in its Epstein files If Trump has failed to release those docs, what else must he be hiding in the govt's files? Polaroids? #StopJohnsonsEpsteinCoverUp

Epstein: I’m best friends with this pedo running for President, here’s a bunch of stories about how big a pedo he is NYT: but her emails

All the Epstein emails are powerful elites saying shit like “Hello my friend the pedophile, i need your advice as a pedophile, what do you think about this other pedophile? Pedophilic Regards, your Friend ;)” and instead of swinging from a gibbet most of them are still writing op-eds against leftism

every tiny crumb that leaks out is a career ending bombshell and we’re all just supposed to go on with our lives while our elected representatives shrug and tell us there’s nothing to be done about the president’s involvement in a child sex trafficking operation

I find that there’s usually a direct line between people who habitually post unattributed artwork and AI boosterism. Like, if they already act like images just appear out of the ether and have no provenance, they’re also very likely already openly hostile to artists.

C R Y I N G this is so perfect lmao x: www.instagram.com/reel/DQ7cPSf...

I keep beating this drum: the kind of people one thinks of as Silicon Valley "techbro" are so often finance people with an engineering cosplay habit, not actual technologists Elon Musk was famously *never* a good coder and I can't believe he ever scienced a rocket either. But he craves that respect

Can you believe this? The American Battle Monuments Commission, a U.S. gov. agency, ordered the removal of displays honouring the Black soldiers who helped liberate the Netherlands. These men fought & died for freedom, & now their contributions are being erased. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last. The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes. Why? It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

This is unfair. If the rest of the Dems held a vote to depose Schumer they'd lose an important tool in their arsenal of techniques for avoiding any accountability for any actions ever and then where would they be?

The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

The best way to support our troops this Veterans Day is to recognize that the Military Industrial Complex uses the economic and carceral drafts to send vulnerable kids to kill and destroy peoples of the Global Majority across the world, and ending imperialism means our veterans stay alive and whole.

Under Gov. Landry’s tough-on-crime agenda, Louisiana has eliminated parole for nearly everyone imprisoned for crimes committed after Aug. 1, 2024. For most prisoners already behind bars, an algorithm is now deciding if they have a shot at early release. (Published April with @veritenews.org)

no money for politicians

Chuck Schumer has not met this moment and Senate Democrats would be wise to move on from his leadership.

a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

Reupping The Ringer plan: Senators don’t want to be jerks to each other? Easy solution. You step down. Governor appoints a comedian. They troll everyone mercilessly during a six day filibuster. Ted Cruz is crying. Republicans cave. Comedian steps down. Governor reappoints you. Everyone wins.

Dem senators are in a dangerously out of touch information silo especially the handful who still hang out on X: The Big Wet Nazi App

President Donald Trump has pardoned a massive slate of prominent allies who supported plans to subvert the 2020 presidential election, according to Ed Martin, the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) pardon attorney www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Join your county Democratic Party! There are shockingly few people willing to show up and those are the people who get to make decisions

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels. The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

Great job, @schumer.senate.gov. You've changed the story from "GOP hurting millions of Americans to please unpopular, failing, delusional despot who's destroying his party" to "Dems are too weak and divided in the face of Trump's strength to take a stand and protect Americans"

Maybe—just maybe—sports leagues getting in bed with gambling companies wasn’t such a hot idea…

theres a whole category of newstertainment thats gotta go. and its "ask a really rich freak who is also evil and directly stealing from you what hes seen on the computer lately that has made him feel bad." the only -- ONLY -- story about this guy worth exploring is: he is getting rich spying on you

It's impossible to build any more housing in America, but luckily we have the politically easy and physically effortless alternative of just removing a third of the population. This clown is the GOP chair in Tarrant County, Texas, the third largest county in the state.

Kinda weird that the money intended to help the poor eat is designed to be LESS useful for the poorest of the poor. If you live out of your car, how are you supposed to cook a raw chicken?

Mamdani is going to implement Sriracha law. Everyone will have to slather hot sauce on their scrambled eggs

RCV doesn’t especially help with two-party dominance. If it did, the Australian House would look more like the Australian Senate. There are single-winner election methods which do help (e.g., approval voting) but proportional representation is the real winner to fix this problem.

Most people don’t know that with SNAP you are banned from buying “foods that are hot at the point of sale”. So even if you have SNAP (which people don’t now) you can’t get cooked food. Which means you need to also actually have the resources to PREPARE a “healthy” meal.

I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police. It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.

They’re bailing out Argentina because they’re all going to be living there when this is over.

you put self-driving cars on the road and you kill a person, you should be scared. if you put a chatbot into kids' hands and tell them to use it and they use it and then they kill themselves, you should be really fucking scared. the idea that the wagons should circle *around you* is unbelievable.

Elon Musk’s new pay package would feed all forty million Americans on SNAP for the next ten years. He wouldn’t notice the difference but the country would.
