BREAKING: Donald Trump reverses course and tells Republicans to vote to release the Epstein files. I am very skeptical, however. He’s the President. He can release the files. I break it down: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

This should alarm everyone. On Thursday, Florida, by unanimous vote, became the first state in the country to adopt “The Phoenix Declaration: An American Vision for Education.” It was written by the Heritage Foundation, the same group behind Project 2025. THIS IS INDOCTRINATION

But you imagine where you might be, eventually, when you learn IT has HAPPENED. Maybe you will wake up, anxious and scared and angry (i.e., normal). Then, out of nowhere, the push notification from THE NEWS: “Breaking: IT Has HAPPENED.” What will you feel like? When IT HAPPENS?

We wrote this to help you imagine how quickly a city can change under Trump… Charlotte was once a place of slow, easy mornings, coffee cups clinking in cozy cafés, jazz drifting through open doors on Tryon Street, families stepping onto the light rail with strollers and soccer bags.

Securing defections from the authoritarian regime is the centerpiece of any successful pro-democracy resistance. Politics isn’t fandom—when someone leaves the authoritarian coalition, we should take it as a win.

“While the AI industry claims its models can “think,” “reason,” and “learn,” their supposed achievements rest on marketing hype and stolen intellectual labor. In reality, AI erodes academic freedom, weakens critical reading, and subordinates the pursuit of knowledge to corporate interests.”

Massie: "I would remind my Republican colleagues who are decided how to vote, Donald Trump can protect you in red districts right now by giving you an endorsement, but by 2030, he's not gonna be the president and you will have voted to protect pedophiles if you don't vote to release those files."

Whether MTG’s rebrand is entirely heartfelt or entirely cynical or a mix of the two, anything that drains the power of hate is good.

BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

I understand why a lot of white liberals are like, fuck the south, because they think about the people in power who are mostly white conservatives. But that is only because of Jim Crow, voter suppression, a lack of real funding for Dems there

youre asking chatgpt. im asking my discord full of autistic people that i keep in my back pocket. we are not the same.

Trump just told reporters on Air Force One that he hasn’t ruled out a pardon for Ghislane Maxwell

look, i know this is an ice cold take but if you’re someone who thinks gender is a scam and shouldn’t exist… kindly excise AMAB/AFAB from your vocabulary

1. The Trump administration has just quietly updated the State Department website to indicate that it may invalidate transgender people's passports. This comes a week after a SCOTUS ruling blocking lower rulings allowing trans people to update them. Subscribe to support our journalism.

🤬🤬

The State Dept updated its website this week to signal that the Trump administration may move to invalidate passports held by transgender Americans, following a Supreme Court emergency ruling that overturned earlier protections on gender-marker updates. www.erininthemorning.com/p/trump-admi...

so glad the child sexual abuse panic was squarely pointed at folks like me by the people actually doing it & the public was like “yeah, seems right—freaks did it. not the men with all the money & fighting to keep child marriage legal, the women that are legal to kill in 30 states if you’re nervous.”

I fucking told you

Now on MSNBC: Epstein emails. Now on CNN: Epstein emails. Now on Fox: It's Pete Buttigieg's fault that air travel sucks. The more you watch Fox, the less you know.

Garcia: "If the president has nothing to hide, then all we want is for them to release the full files."

NEW: ProPublica examined months of Fox News’ coverage and reviewed over 700 videos posted on social media. The network used five-year-old footage, mislabeled other dates and implied footage from elsewhere was in Portland.

If Trump has nothing to hide, he'd tell Pam Bondi to release the Epstein Files like they all promised. Mike Johnson would have sworn in Adelita Grijalva yesterday. Ghislaine Maxwell would be sent back to Florida prison instead of being pampered in Club Fed in Texas. And... He's guilty as hell.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Trading American's access to healthcare for a pat on the head & a pinky promise isn't "taking action to protect healthcare for tens of millions of Americans" no matter how much these 8 senators shout these empty words. #Pinks
