DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor. Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

forced birth but then you also have to watch all those babies die of preventable diseases. the only policy goal republicans have , as far as I can make out from what they’re doing with power, is to kill as many children as possible

The New York Times contacted Ms. Farmer about a report stamped with the date of Sept. 3, 1996. She broke down in tears. “I’ve waited 30 years,” she said. “I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.”

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines. It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States. And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files: Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996. The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

As patches set upon a little breach Discredit more in hiding of the fault Than did the fault before it was so patch’d.

research is an act of resistance

Gonna stop looking at the Epstein Files in a second because I'm frankly way too skeeved out to keep going but I will say this: the CSAM isn't blacked out nearly enough while the faces of guys in ties are obscured by vanta black rectangles the size of the sun.

Breaking: Rep. Ro Khanna says the Trump DOJ's production "does not comply with" the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Khanna says he and Rep. Thomas Massie "are exploring all options" — including impeachment of DOJ officials, inherent contempt, or referring individuals for obstruction of justice.

Not only is this illegal, but Pam Bondi said back in March that they only had to redact the victim names and the files were ready for release.

This is really heartening. We can, in fact, make collective decisions about how or whether we will allow new technologies to be incorporated into the things that we care about. It's not just a fact that we have to deal with.

“All workers have the right to take collective action to improve their working conditions without retaliation from their employers,” said Katie Miles, a senior trainer at the UC Berkeley Labor Center with over 15 years of union organizing experience. “ www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Epstein Files Transparency Act: "The Attorney General shall ... make publicly available in a searchable and downloadable format." NYT: The DOJ "website also contains a search function, though it is unclear if it’s working properly. A query for 'Epstein' returned no results."

I hate it here

To be clear: Trump’s expanded travel ban is rooted in racism, not national security concerns. It’s plainly racist policy that does nothing to make our country safer.

Small farms are getting priced out of the system. They’re forced to pay hundreds, even thousands, a year for food-safety audits just to access wholesale markets. Big farms can absorb it. Small farms can’t. The Cutting COSTS Act fixes that by reimbursing those costs and leveling the playing field.

Congress demanded Jack Smith testify about his investigations, but kept him behind closed doors during his sworn deposition. If we care about transparency, then Congress should release the transcript. My thoughts in Bloomberg. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Appalling yet utterly unsurprising

🚨 "The Justice Department redacted the names and identifiers of victims. Fox News Digital has learned that the same redaction standards were applied to politically exposed individuals and government officials. " h/t @kleinmatic.bsky.social

DC resident on Trump putting his name on the Kennedy Center: "We should all be shocked that a convicted felon, a thug, and by all means a grifter has just stuck his name on top of a national monument."

They never use studies by: American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, American Academy of Pediatrics, World Health Organization, American Association of Clinical Endocrinology, Pediatric Endocrine Society, or American Psychiatric Association.

This Italian lit review, funded by the Italian ministry of health and Italian society for pediatric endocrinology is criminally underreported on considering it found enough moderate and high quality studies on blockers to call out Cass directly. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

One reason the NYT has burned its credibility with trans people is that they still cite the discredited Cass report in reporting on trans healthcare. Never the German, Utah, or other systematic reviews supporting care. They also never provide the political context behind restrictions in care.

A man detained at Delaney Hall in Newark has died in ICE custody. This is an outrage. My statement on the matter is here.

Advocates, activists, and community leaders demand immediate independent inquiry and answers related to the death of Jean Wilson Brutus, who had been held in detention at Delaney Hall (Newark NJ). The handling of this tragic situation lays bare the serious oversight concerns regarding Delaney Hall. 

Aggravated assault. Attempted murder.

Last week, hundreds of creative workers amassed at a public hearing for an AI transparency bill to testify how AI was corroding their lives. Days later, Disney cut a deal with OpenAI, and Trump moved to stamp out state AI laws. On art and labor in the age of AI and American authoritarianism:

This is a wildly unethical study that would be illegal to conduct in the United States. Have you heard of the Tuskegee experiments (crimes against humanity)? This sounds like that.

Hey NoVa Dems @fairfaxdemocrats.bsky.social @loudoundemocrats.org let’s show striking Starbucks workers some love while they’re on the picket line! And remember #NoContractNoCoffee

I've been waiting to find out exactly how Trump was going to personally profit from the AI greed frenzy he has unleashed because there was no way he was *not* going to get a piece. Now we know: a $6-billion merger of his failing media corp with an AI energy corp www.aljazeera.com/economy/2025...

Crazy how all these places that are overwhelmingly white keep on refusing to hire white people because they’re white, other than all the other white people who already work there bsky.app/profile/mtsw...

The Brown University shooter was found. And yet, little is fixed. Our country is awash in guns and a community is forever changed. Survivors will carry fear into lecture halls, unimaginable grief, and trauma long after the cameras leave. This is the legacy of gun violence America keeps ignoring.

When the official policy of the government has become “ this must be fake, you’re too brown to be American” it’s time to stop pretending that this will all just go back to normal

Lies are truth. The truth is a lie. Up is down. War is peace. Sick is healthy. Recession is prosperity. The Trump era.

Anyone have Brett Kavanaugh's email, I want to send him a link.

“If I remain silent in a situation or injustice like this, that is betraying the history that I go out and promote and that I’ve given my life to for the past 35 years now,” he said. “This is not a time to be silent.” www.statesman.com/news/educati...

“When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not oppress them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt.” (Leviticus 19:33-34) #LoveNotICE

I've been investigating digital deception for ~15yrs and 2025 was the worst year. VC-backed bot farms, endless AI slop, industrial level scams, abusive AI nudifiers, Meta paying $ for hoaxes... Deception was legitimized, monetized & shoved down the public’s throat: indicator.media/p/2025-the-y...

“The thing that’s been the most difficult so far is that, in all of our interactions with the government, they’re denying that any of her birth certificates, which are from Laurel, Maryland, her records of immunization, medical records — they’re denying the authenticity of them.”

Trump is a job killer. www.npr.org/2025/12/18/n...

James Talarico: Does your bill replacing counselors with untrained religious chaplains require them to have any training/qualifications? Republican: No Talarico: I offered an amendment to require school chaplains to respect freedom of religion, and you refused to accept that? Republican: Correct

There will come a time when people of good faith are empowered to uphold the law. When that time comes, Illinois will have the testimony and records needed to pursue justice to its fullest extent. The truth of what Trump and his masked agents are doing in Chicago will be told.
