Someone said to me today, these files aren't Democrat vs. Republican, they're the wealthy elite vs. the rest of us. This quote from a 5/8/2009 email from Epstein says it all #EpsteinFiles

A white man in Dillard, Oregon was arrested for stopping people on the freeway to demand at gunpoint that they tell him if they were citizens. He shot and missed one + attempted to get another in his truck to bring to police. Before his spree, he called local PD to complain about "foreign" people.

It’s hard to focus on one thing to be appalled about, but these stories out of Minnesota are awful. (And, of course, on the other hand, very encouraging.) I cannot believe you can wrongly grab somebody, transport them, and then leave them where YOU took them.

In delighting in violent rhetoric, Pete Hegseth gave a glimpse of the belligerent approach he might take if troops deployed in American cities were opposed by citizen protesters, Missy Ryan argues.

Nice he’s admitting what the point of gop policy is

Congress should be demanding this. No one can trust the IGs in this administration.

University of Illinois college republicans advocate for executing protesters as “traitors” with art that takes a disturbing killing and makes it even more extreme. dailyillini.com/news-stories...

The schoolmates of Liam Conejo Ramos wrote letters to ICE. This is just gutting. And also such a reminder that hate is taught. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/31/o...

BREAKING: One of the tipsters from the Epstein docs that DOJ pulled down and put back up has reached out to me. I'll tell you what we know on @meidastouch.com in one hour. As always, we have receipts. Link: www.youtube.com/live/xiSmcNV...

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie: “How will we know if this bill has been successful? We will know when rich men are being perp walked in handcuffs to the jail. Until then, this is still a coverup.” #EpsteinFiles

NEW: EXCLUSIVE: I spoke with one of the anonymous tipsters from this last dump of Epstein Files. Trump trafficked girls to Epstein and Maxwell through his modeling agency. You can watch here, no paywalls. Ever. www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-e...

I have all these napkins and tea towels just sitting around that I was going to do something with at some point, and I have some old Aunt Martha’s iron on designs from WWII, they seem spot on for what’s happening now. #embroidery

NEW: The Justice Department published dozens of unredacted images of nude women (and possibly teens) as part of its Epstein release. The faces of those people were also left unredacted. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/u...

Quite the contrast: In one part of the Epstein files, DOJ published unredacted nude images of women and potentially minors. In another part, officials redacted President Trump’s face from a news image that was shared in a text exchange. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/u...

"I am here, with Trevor, in the Delta Sky Lounge. Instead of a combat loadout, I am filled with miscellaneous snacks, a Kindle that's 38 percent through an Elon Musk biography, and self-loathing."

Two days ago, the president used his social media platform to endorse this "phenomenal candidate" and to urge "all America First Patriots" in the district to get out and vote for her. Today, he says he doesn't know anything about it and had nothing to do with it. He's lying or demented or both.

THREAD. My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments. I've collected his work here...

I think citizens should be allowed to address the house and senate. All reps should be required to attend. Pick voters at random and fly them in.

I think it is OUTRAGEOUS that people are LEAPING to the conclusion that some our post prominent Americans are child rapists when it is EQUALLY PLAUSIBLE that they are simply indifferent to whether other people are child rapists so long as those other people can offer them access to power.

Jean-Luc Brunel, who died under mysterious circumstances in the Paris Prison de la Santé, is the man who recruited Melania Knauss, brought her to the US, introduced her to Epstein, who in turn introduced her to Trump. The rest is history. There is no legitimate reason for any of the redactions here.

It’s profoundly unsettling that many of the world’s most powerful figures named in the Epstein Files, including the US president and the wealthiest person alive, continue to hold positions of influence. What a terrible world we live in

Gawker was killed to protect pedophiles

All of them are endorsed by a pedophile….. #DefeatGOP2026

FUCK DJT AND FUCK YOU FOR VOTING FOR HIM.

Trump on his multiple suits against the federal government: "I'm supposed to work out a settlement with myself ... We could make it a substantial amount, nobody would care, because it's gonna go to numerous, very good charities."

Did a little embroidery for how I’m feeling. Be a nice tea towel!

In Slovakia, senior advisor to the PM Miroslav Lajčák is forced to resign after his name surfaced in the Epstein files. Note how this works around the world. Just not in the US, where figures far more deeply entangled, like Trump and Melania, Lutnick, Musk and a raft of others carry on as usual.

it’s not necessarily that all these people in the epstein files participated in the raping of girls it’s that none of them cared and if he hadn’t been arrested and died they’d still be out there trying to be his friend

Bari just hired this guy lol

there once was a lady who hastened, to tell you that you would be chastened, if you’re out in the snow, and its 15 below, & your coat is not properly fastened oh goddamn the fucking English language😡

I love that every time I look at the feed there's another post like this

Jesus Christ

NEW: Elon Musk has insisted that Jeffrey Epstein invited him to the notorious island and he declined. But new emails show the opposite -- Musk was practically begging to party with Epstein in the Caribbean, years after Epstein's sex convictions were public knowledge futurism.com/future-socie...

Watching the Senate floor debate over the spending bill. Sen. Lindsey Graham continues to hold up the bill to force a vote on his legislation that would target cities with sanctuary policies.

The City’s Budget is our future. And you deserve to know how it works.

I'm sorry, WHAT?👀 The DNI just happened by a FBI raid and jumped into the back of a truck full of seized ballots?

MT Peeps- ICE is on the way. Some are there already. Had this verified. Get into community. Protect your neighbors. #MTPol

What is it called when you use the top cop to punish all your enemies to supress most of our protected freedoms? @anntelnaes.bsky.social

The party of free speech is at it again. Also remember Florida was the first to pass its (unconstitutional) law suggesting that no political speech could ever be removed from social media, and desantis did a whole big thing about how Florida had the strongest free speech protections.

Once elected, they become a cabal who swear a blood oath to protect one another so they can keep power and keep the money flowing. Constituents, the Constitution and other reasons for being in DC, take a back seat to self and financial preservation. We must retake DC and reform public service.

The premiere of Melania marks the return of a director accused of sexual violence by six actresses in 2017.

As a journalist who has spent decades sitting in churches, many of them *very* rightwing, because understanding their beliefs, & how they’re expressed, matters, I’d like to see some journalists on the ground bring us that news. Just attend. Tell us about the songs, the sermon, the socializing.

In case you think I am being hyperbolic, I am not. Read this: insidemedicine.substack.com/p/a-rebuttal...

It's last-minute, but I'm giving a talk today about #DHmakes and craft and what the humanities can do in a crisis from 12:15-1:15 Pacific (3:15-4:15 Eastern). All are welcome, Zoom registration link below!

Microsoft and Blackrock have "have largely given up on organic adoption [of AI] by consumers. They have moved on to a new dream of forced adoption mandated by government and managerial coercion." Fascinating piece here on what Davos can teach us about the AI industry by @mattseybold.bsky.social

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

As part of their effort to make sure far right sheriffs don't get reelected uncontested, @boltsmag.org has put together a list of every one that is up for vote in 2026. boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

The chief federal judge in Minnesota excoriated ICE on Wednesday, saying it had violated nearly 100 court orders stemming from its aggressive crackdown in the state and had disobeyed more judicial directives in January alone than “some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”
