Lesson from the Epstein files and the denials by those in them: the rich associates are either lying through their teeth or dumber than a 13 year old. I’m betting lying, given that their cult deports minorities on rumour but forgave Epstein on conviction. #EpsteinFiles

Greetings from Kyiv Morning here. Had a warcoffee, the EcoFlow barista made it. No power, and no idea when it’ll return. russia launched a large-scale strike on Ukraine’s power grid, damaging major thermal plants and high-voltage lines. Are you still here? Still listening to the story of genocide?

From @acyn.bsky.social (posted on X) "Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal? Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail… Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you. Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake."

Do you think it stopped with the death of Epstein? People like this just don't stop. It's still happening just somewhere else. Did Jeffrey Dahmer stop when police visited his house? Nope. Didn't stop until he was behind bars.

Extraordinary. I was crying by the end.

It’s very loud in Kyiv. russia is attacking us with ballistic missiles. Let the world know.

In case anyone is wondering about the Musk-Epstein links, here is a story documenting some of their links. I bumped into one Epstein doc supporting the SpaceX visit. EFTA01760353. www.cnbc.com/2026/01/30/e...

„Putin has promised Trump many things. But the people of Ukraine see no benefit from them. On the contrary, they are forced to freeze in darkness because the consequences of the Russian attacks are devastating. Journalism should focus on facts, not announcements.“ Vassili Golod

It's been fun seeing The Consultants lose their mind about how they don't get this ad, which is the coolest shit she's done yet. (Also, yes, that's Matt Mercer, who I've come to learn since this ad dropped is more famous than Michael Jordan.)

Releasing the Epstein files is important, but pedos don’t stop being pedos. Does anyone really believe that a cabal of rich pervs don’t have another island? Let’s find that one.

Bruce Springsteen crashed a Tom Morello-organized benefit concert today for the families of slain protestors Renee Good and Alex Pretti, during which he live debuted his just-released protest song, “Streets of Minneapolis.”

No doubt Ford will soon pitching this as a great way to bring down the price of energy in Ontario. #onPoli

@bluenoserjo.bsky.social you did it

I love that she wasn’t letting that awful person control the moment. She reclaimed the podium and continued. Also, how much did I love her instinct to go get him? So great. I hope it is benign liquid and everything is ok for her.

Abso-fucking-lutely fire tonight. 🔥 🔥 🔥

I’m reading Stalins Daughter and it is reminding me that Hitler is not the only totalitarian leader who the current administration is emulating.

ICE murders another protester, Trump threatens Canada with a 100% tariff if we trade with China and Putin continues to target Ukrainian cities. Just another day in the MAGA-verse. The cause of chaos is easy to spot. The solution is more complex.

A real and effective response to MAGA. Trump is a tool of the oligarchs around him. We are all victims of wealth boarders. Addressing their power is the long game back to democracy, not getting a less bad deal for a few months.

Reps. Khanna & Massie to ask judges for official to oversee release of Epstein files. "'...we’re now going to be intervening with the Southern District of New York to ask those judges to appoint a special master and ensure that all the documents are released.’" www.commondreams.org/news/khanna-...

It's been five years since Trump tried to overthrow the Constitution. What unfolded over the five years that followed will be remembered as one of the greatest failures of American institutions in our history.

Do the Trumpers really think people should be distracted because a pedophile and Felon sends the worlds largest army to attack a small country already collapsing under economic sanctions?

Woke up to a Lawless monarch who pardons his criminals and attacks those who refuse to swear fealty. US ‘Lawmakers’ send thoughts and prayers as democracy dies. Media sanitizes events. More 1984, than Fall of the Roman Empire, Hitler’s playbook and eggs are still expensive.

The Republican run US Congress sat for 87 days last year - and they barely passed a spending bill. Compare that to the Ford CONS in Ontario. Sitting for 51 days, they gutted environmental protection, attacked cities and school boards & gave $$$ to their cronies. #ONpoli #Ontario #SaveDemocracy

I didn’t blow up anyone or bomb any foreign countries this year. And I had as much impact on peace negotiations in Europe and the mideast as the American president. Where is my 2025 FIFA peace prize?

😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🎯👏👏👏

Who needs a village when you can have parking lots?

Stop saying that all the redactions are of Trump with little girls. No way! Some of them are of Trump with a horse.

If T*umps medical records are released and confirm the visual dementia he has been exhibiting in his behaviour, can some of the stream of pardons for his rich allies be tossed as well?

Yeah. No. This is totally who we ARE. We can congratulate ourselves on not being the same as the US, but we are. We totally are. We let them destroy the only person standing between us and fascism – PMJT – and our current PM is mum on the camps and rights abuses. This. IS. Who. We. Are.
