His stage name is BAD BUNNY... a bad-ass artist and honey-of-a-Bunny. His given name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. He is a handsome 31-year-old American citizen. Make no mistake. 1917: The Jones Act grants U.S. citizenship to all Puerto Ricans. I'll be watching... I'm a huge fan!

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

The IRS already knows what you need to pay in taxes – so why doesn’t it just tell you instead of putting you through a costly and tax-consuming reporting process? Answer: Because Congress is catering to tax prep companies. buff.ly/8koKPYG #taxes

Anarchism is definitely having a moment in Minnesota. The anarchy is real, productive, and amazing here these days.

Dems are now overperforming the 2024 lean of red districts by, uh, 30+ points in special elections I’m not sure “apocalyptic” is sufficient to describe how the environment is starting to look for the GOP in November

I encourage you to consider that the @cato.org is right about this

Federal Judges have a very real and well-established reason to fear doxing and violence and yet I doubt anyone thinks it would be acceptable for them to preside from the bench in a hood.

My favorite genre of Epstein emails are powerful people emailing WITH JEFFREY EPSTEIN about how MeToo has gone too far and the woke mob must be stopped.

I keep saying to people in my life that the problem with writing in these days is that you sound absolutely off your nut for simply saying what is happening.

this literally looks like a scene from THE FIRST PURGE

Are female economists treated differently than males in academic seminars? These authors wanted to know whether gender shapes how scholars are treated when presenting research. So they built a massive dataset of 2,000+ economics seminars, job talks, and conference presentations from 2019–2023...

there has been no de-escalation.

To all the Minnesotans who are making their voices heard and protesting peacefully: The world is watching, and when change comes, it will be because of you.

While it may explain some of the context, this framing also hides that women scientists didn't cozy up to epstein the way men did. They also need funding, no? This is also about being part of a powerful boys club where one can act in despicable ways with impunity. Misogyny is a huge driving factor.

Timeline cleanse: Yesterday my son and I fed apples, zucchini, and broccoli to a mother and baby sloth. (Stone Zoo in Stoneham, MA is wonderful.)

IRS executive Kathleen Walters was asked to break the law by the Trump administration, and refused.

Liam is home now and we are grateful to @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for traveling to Minneapolis with him and his dad. Welcome home Liam ❤️❤️

Filming federal agents in public is legal, but avoiding a dangerous—even deadly—confrontation isn’t guaranteed. Here’s how to record ICE and CBP agents as safely as possible and have an impact. www.wired.com/story/how-to...

A user from r/Minneapolis was among the first to share footage of federal agents shooting Alex Pretti. Following his death, subreddits about football, cats, and embroidery have all rallied against ICE.

Steve Levitsky, the co-author of How Democracies Die, on the dangerous place we have reached as Trump escalates: “Orbán doesn’t arrest journalists,” he said. “And in Hungary if you walk the streets of Budapest or other Hungarian cities, you will not find heavily armed masked men abducting people."

Lots of “Where are the young people?!” In 2025. 2026 says, here:

You cannot dissuade me from the belief that Trump sent ICE to see this movie.

for over 3 weeks, I've spoken to ICE watchers and organizers across the country: first right after Renee Good's killing — then 2 weeks into my reporting, Alex Pretti was killed. ICE watchers are being detained and harassed — but they're also stopping ICE abductions and inspiring others to join them

This was the kind of treatment the union activists got today from Oregon’s largest unions alongside coalitions like @jwjpdx.bsky.social. They fired projectiles and injured many demonstrators and broke out neighbors windows. Gas for a half dozen miles in each direction. #iceout

How often do we wake up to good news? www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/u...

Based on what I've seen, at least 4 current/former Harvard professors have now been named as Epstein associates. Which seems notable given prior reporting that Epstein used false promises of "elite" college admissions to lure young girls into his web of abuse. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

"The two were also connected on LinkedIn — many mentions of Ariely in the Epstein files were emails prompting Epstein to accept Ariely’s invitation to connect." Y'all will never convince me to join this cursed website www.dukechronicle.com/article/duke...

For those of us who were grad students at Harvard in the 1990s it’s interesting to read Marc Hauser’s correspondence with JE, through the lens of Hauser’s subsequent departure from Harvard bc of scientific misconduct.

Academics vying for a spot in Epstein‘s world. There are so many. I feel the need to make a thread, so I don’t keep confusing them. 1/

Hiccup, of course, is Musk, who is in a throuple with Miller. Musk loves this shit and would probably rather fund the GOP himself than watch Miller let up. This is why the @teslatakedown.com matters as much today as it did in January of 2025.

One working theory of change for 2026: As the growing opposition to Trump becomes evident in the ballot box and in polls, it compels donors, who have some? sway over Trump, to back away from full authoritarianism and possibly jettison Miller, the architect of this urgency.
