Trump has grown ass men admitting to being PEDOPHILES on social media to millions of people to stand in solidarity with their president. My Lord JESUS

My feed is littered with screenshots of *that* and each passage is causing me psychic pain, I enjoyed childbirth more than reading these lmao

A friend came up with a nice metaphor for a message you would have replied to but somehow missed: "It disappeared over the event horizon of my inbox."

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate

gosh I wonder why they called her peril www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Holy shit reverse MeToo is wild

The difference between the sociopathic and non-sociopathic takes is really quite stark

A considerably less romantic hed/dek but sadly the actual essay remains a gently sepia toned, slightly blurred look at a bunch of monsters.

I do want to Let Them Fight (tm) within the ranks of the gop, but I also want every clip of MTJ that circulates to include the context of who she still really is bc I do *not* trust the American electorate to not put her in an even higher office based on the media giving her "reasonable vibes"

it it unfair that he can’t vet these pics before i post them

Uh this is enormous

The piece takes on this nostalgic, wry tone, and depicts Epstein as one would a harmless eccentric from a candy-hued Wes Anderson picture. A choice.

I refuse to believe that Larry Summers' expertise and skills are indispensable in any way. Please find another economist and policy expert, @americanprogress.bsky.social. There are loads out there.

Good (?) morning. The screen on my window casts a lovely shadow on my purple shamrocks 💛

For a lot of us we feel this in our bones

In 2022, I commissioned @mollycrabapple.bsky.social to make a portrait of @sfdirewolf.bsky.social, as part of a series for the release of The Viral Underclass. Molly signed if for her. Alice was so excited to have a Molly Crabapple of herself!

“With so many marginalized communities, we’re basically the oracles…we’re the ones who see shit before it happens.” In June 2020, I interviewed Alice Wong for TVU before she lost her ability to speak. I asked her how she’d first learned of SARS-CoV-2. She began with the 2016 election of Trump:

My dumb husband offered an Arab person the hummus I made 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I would never embarrass myself like that.

The stress cooking continues. Made yogurt flatbread today, it was fun to see them turn into carb balloons in the griddle

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’ —Alice Wong

Bring back sensationalism in our headlines because this ain’t it

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

working with Alice, someone I admired for years before I got this job, was a privilege. here is her full contributor page to Teen Vogue, with her Disability Visibility column.

Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

I am gutted to learn of @sfdirewolf.bsky.social (Alice Wong’s) passing. She was always a warm friend, a wonderful spirit, and someone who fostered my own growth. She helped me see that, as a #disabled person with chronic illness, I matter—I am whole. I’ll be posting some of Alice’s work. ❤️ forever

I am very sad to learn of Alice Wong’s @sfdirewolf.bsky.social passing. I will miss her razor wit, her wisdom, her love for good food, and her red lipstick.

“The government is allowed to post real death threats on social media but you’re not allowed to post sarcastic death threats on social media” is actually a pretty apt distillation of power and violence

Impressive that Olivia Nuzzi sees a man who is halitosis made flesh and is like, more

I’m a little mad that the orzo I made tonight with just minced garlic and frozen spinach tastes better than a much much fancier orzo dinner I made last week. Ah well, yummy food is yummy

A not-important thing these email drops have nevertheless left me thinking about: Do people type this way? Even on phones, I don’t get it. Why the random spaces? Is this text all copy-pasted from WordPerfect 5.1? I don’t care about people typing informally in emails and texts, but I’m so confused.

All in all a terrible day to be literate

What’s New Hampshire’s motto again?

My wokest opinion (qualified by presumed number of eye rolls it would generate) is that consent is incredibly sexy and romantic.

A Chicago day care employee detained by immigration agents has been released, her attorneys say. Diana Santillana Galeano was detained last week at Rayito de Sol Spanish Immersion Early Learning Center.

This seems very performative and pointless

I thought the earlier news from A&M was bad, but this is incredibly bleak. It’s close to the point of not having a functional university.

Sweetie, we have brunch at home. (I’m coping about the news cycle over the stove. Today it’s sweet oatmeal crepes)

Seems so unnecessary to lie about what happened when the reality is damning enough.

Gonna log off and drink wine

Feels like the OP was just applying Occam’s Razor here, rather gaslighty to call it conspiratorial mansplaining

One of the reasons people--myself included--are upset is the lack of transparency from the Times about this entire situation when they've gone on endless crusades against transgender people on flimsy evidence or ideological whim; we can also talk about the Mamdani/Columbia thing or Claudine Gay.

What’s a good article I can send a friend who wants to know more about the Times not running articles on Trump’s pedophilia when they had the chance?

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

Dropping this the week of some more Epstein news is bananas.

The day Daylight Saving ended my little baby went on a poop strike that went on for 13 days. Breastfed babies are so wild, they go from pooping 3 times a day to twice a month just like that.

btw this morning when a person i know in federal government logged into their computer they got an email that said 'welcome back from the democrat-led shutdown ' lmfao

Every immigrant who works so hard to write emails that don’t give people cause to doubt their command of the English language are squinting at these semi unreadable leaked emails of America’s elites going “what the actual fuck is this shit.”

Little baby has strong orange cat energy: She’d regularly manage to get a couple of fingers free from the fold over sleeves, but is still sucking on the thumb that’s trapped in the fabric. Right now she’s sucking on her thumb while gripping two teething toys and pressing them into her cheeks.

Reminder - when turkey frying, things can go from "wholesome family cooking memory" to "traumatic family cooking memory" very quickly. A few precious decisions separate, "That's the year we fried the turkey!" and "That's the year we burned down the deck." Make good choices. Children are watching.
