All to avoid releasing the Epstein files...

When DAVID BOWIE attended PETER SELLER’s 50th birthday party in L.A. in 1975 he put together an impromptu band called ‘Trading Faces’ - including Bowie (sax), Bill Wyman (bass), Ron Wood (guitar), Joe Cocker (vocals), Jesse Ed Davis (guitar), Keith Moon (organ, vocal, drums).

Republicans are hurriedly redrawing voting maps to remove every Southern Black representative from Congress. Liberals say that's a bad thing.

Racism, bigotry and hatred are three things that the Republicans bring to the table. cbwrong.blogspot.com?m=1

And Republicans in those Dixie flag southern states are trying to take away representation of Black and brown folks by gerrymandering. Do go on. 🙄

The party with Confederate flags hanging in their front yards is trying to say that Democrats are the racists in America. Mkay. DOGE bros explicitly fired people because of their race… ICE is openly racial profiling… 🧵

Only in America can one party control the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives, win the popular vote,and hold the majority of governorships... and still blame the other party for everything wrong with this country

It must be mindblowing! #BookSky

Black political power is under attack, again Americans should stop pretending we aren’t seeing a retrenchment of racial power.

How's your fascism going? Mine sucks. Grocery prices, along with other goods prices, have doubled in the last two years. Gas here is $5.50 per gallon regular. No one is buying anything extra. No one is going anywhere. No one can afford lunch.

Dear Sunderland Reform Voters! 👋 Did you know that a Farage Reform govt intends to scrap the NHS? The private health care system he wants to introduce would cost you £10,000s, like the US, where getting ill can bankrupt you. #ReformUK #Labour #GreenParty #Newcastle #SAFC #NUFC

In 1960, the FDA approved “the pill”, marking a significant milestone in reproductive health and freedom. Now, 66 years later, rights to contraception are under attack. Abortion care is health care, and being able to make health care decisions about your own body is a fundamental right.

Melonoma can shut her Epstein hole. Freakin hypocrite

The U.S. has spent billions to lose a war that enriches its oligarchs, impoverishes the citizenry, sabotages its alliances, and strengthens its enemies. Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power. snyder.substack.com/p/on-superpo...

At the age of 100, Sir David Attenborough springs out of his seat like a Jack-in-the-box.

A nasal spray with nanotech that crosses the blood-brain barrier after stroke that can be used at home or on the way to the ER to minimize damage. Wow. China seems to have a lot of nice things. You'd think we could, too.

5/ Such scenes of billowing gas and tear-stained faces have prompted some historians to liken the scope and intensity of the agents’ deployment of chemical munitions to brutal crackdowns by Southern law enforcement during the Civil Rights Movement.

A must-read thread 🧵

I think there should be a form of government where if something is opposed by 56 percent of people and supported by 28 percent that could in any way affect what the government does

Don't let the recent set backs in VA and TN convince you your vote doesn't count. Register yourself and others. Learn your ballot. Take others to the polls. Become a poll judge. Do it NOW.

The Epstein case is so bad the government gave you a war, a new virus, and aliens to keep you distracted from it. Sit with that as long as you need.

In 1841 Mary Richardson married John Jones of North Carolina. They carried free papers when they settled in Chicago & Mr. Jones established a successful tailoring business. Active in abolitionist politics & voting rights campaigns, they hosted & dressed John Brown & crew en route to Harper’s Ferry.

Destany Pete researched an Indigenous chokecherry recipe and achieved promising “in vitro” results on cancer cells. Her science project gained international recognition for combining traditional knowledge with modern laboratory experimentation.

I just can’t. How does anyone support this lunatic?

After 12 years, the EU flag is back on Hungary’s Parliament building — the new Speaker’s very first decision. A happy Schuman Day indeed.

We are being stripped of our right to fair elections. Our judicial system has been corrupted.

"I want to get in for a term to get rid of the guy, and then a term to create basically an American legal reconstruction, by passing laws to make sure that this kind of autocratic threat (doesn't happen again)."

Trump sues everybody over everything, comedians, critics, networks, anyone who bruises his ego. But notice who he never seems eager to sue: the women accusing him, or the people saying far worse things about him. IMO, he knows he would not survive discovery.

This is quite literally one mechanism Orban used to destroy democracy in Hungary.

Hungary just ended a 16 year reign of bullshit from its far-right, criminally corrupt autocratic regime. So let's do the fucking same.

Hungary’s parliament sings “Ode to Joy” — the anthem of Europe — after Péter Magyar is sworn in as prime minister. Hungary is once again a proud member of the European Union.

🇺🇦🇭🇺 Zelensky congratulated Peter Magyar on his appointment as Prime Minister of Hungary and expressed Ukraine's readiness for cooperation. He emphasized that Kyiv is counting on the development of good-neighborly relations and strengthening of partnership between the two countries.
