The Epstein Files, aka MeToo PartTwo, have shown that the extremely wealthy are still very vulnerable in the area of reputation. In this era of shamelessness, it feels as if there is still some leverage here. This release won't cause enough of a shift by itself, but it's done more than I expected.

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

One more comment on the Post debacle: this hurts journalism broadly. Good journalists will go do something else. The rest will be fighting for fewer jobs and everyone will earn less. Fewer people will take up the career. The damage done is to the ecosystem, as well as the paper.

What do these corporations have in common? -Amazon -AT&T -Home Depot -Microsoft -Palantir They all reaped billions in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill — and are actively collaborating with ICE's deportation machine. Always follow the money.

This article and thread should be the most important news of the day. Their insistence in calling immigrants "aliens" is telling: anyone could be "alien" to this or future US or any other country's administration. The use of data from agencies unrelated to law enforcement is also a big red flag.

Whenever the Gaza Health Ministry was cited they were called 'the Hamas-run Health Ministry' to make us all doubt the numbers. Now even Israel accepts the official death toll, because that's how confident Netanyahu is that he'll face no consequences. The real death toll is, obviously, much higher.

As the website turns 25, it faces myriad challenges from regulators, AI, the far right and Elon Musk: ft.trib.al/78FO7tf

Exclusive: I obtained testimony from the Dec. trial where Jonathan Ross, the ICE officer who killed Renee Good in Minneapolis, describes an incident in June where he smashed a car window, is dragged 100 yards, and tased a Guatemalan man 10 times. "I feared for my life," he said.

Imagine being the person brave enough to leak this in the hopes that media attention could stop it and then the media just……buries it.

Con Delcy Rodríguez oggi il #Venezuela è governato - con il Washington Consensus - dal "madurismo senza Maduro". Quelli che plaudono al blitz di Trump e all'uso della forza dovrebbero spiegare se va bene che abbia scaricato Machado e che NON sono previste elezioni a breve.

My take is that the pathologies that exist in the Pro-Palestine solidarity sphere are at least in part a symptom of the absence of a broad based legitimate organised Palestinian social and political mobilisation. What the ANC was in South Africa or the PLO was before the 1990s. 1/

Die Reaktionen zeigen: Einige stört es, dass gebildete Bürger mit Migrationsgeschichte sichtbarer werden, ihre Interessen und Sensibilitäten artikulieren und Teilhabe einfordern. Das alte Bild des anspruchslosen migrantischen Arbeiters - malochen, schweigen, Projektionsfläche sein - ist vorbei.
