Not to be rude to the NYT or anything, but maybe now's a good time for them to address Jeffrey Epstein's claim that he was good buddies with NYT publisher Punch Sulzberger in the 1970s? Epstein is known to exaggerate and lie; it might not be true. But it's about time NYT issued a statement. 10/

If you’re still on TikTok now’s a good time to delete it

Huh, Sergey Brin is in the Epstein files. Explains some of this.

I agree. Either he didn't disclose it to his editors either and this is a colossal violation of conflict-of-interest rules, or he did, in which case someone has a monumental amount of explaining to do.

Nice try, New York Times. They weren't "women"

It's not a bug. It's a feature.

February 2016. (Sadly Bluesky import from Twitter removed the URL I was sharing but I’ll try to find.)

From October ‘16.

I thought MAGA was a crystallization of many long-existing illiberal/authoritarian energies in US political culture from the moment Trump rode down that escalator. But seeing this on the streets of Portland in August 2018 convinced me that “fascism” was the word for it. bsky.app/profile/seth...

Or, alternatively, Dersh is completely implicated in the Epstein files and this is his way of paying off Trump to keep them bottled up.

I'd like you to notice how while Carr was dragged before Congress yesterday to address his ham-fisted attempts to censor a comedian, NOBODY asked him ANY questions about his efforts to completely destroy consumer protection and media consolidation limits. The press couldn't care less, either.

Hitler youth notoriously bullied Jewish students. History is repeating itself.

As your electricity bill goes up, remember—it doesn’t have to be this way. Democrats invested in expanding clean energy to lower costs. Trump killed those investments to protect costly fossil fuels, just as AI data centers drive demand even higher.

Check the original date.

When he says the "nuclear holocaust would be like no other," it's just another one of his classic business boasts. He's salivating at idea

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along

FBI Director Patel is busy talking about his romance with his girlfriend on Katie Miller’s podcast at 6pm.

Time is a flat circle.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah. Praying for his full & speedy recovery. And so deeply inspired by his example.

What are the chances that his detention isn't random, but a concession in ongoing trade negotiation? Might want to count dissidents.

I really hate it how close to the mark this account always ends up being.

The GOP stole a seat on the SCOTUS thanks to pancreatic cancer now they need to repay a favor

Note for all the DNC haters out there that there was loud and boisterous applause at the DNC meeting just now when Kamala Harris mentioned the victory of Mamdani as New York Mayor. The DNC is not what you think it is.

Over the last month, TV broadcast news covered the Epstein text/email releases for more than 3 hours. — and not a single segment mentioned Epstein's extensive ties to Bannon at all.

Here’s what many Jews know but the commission won’t acknowledge: Conflating Jewish identity with support for Israel increases antisemitism. By insisting that criticizing Israeli government policy is antisemitic, we make all Jews responsible for those policies. @concernedjfaculty.bsky.social

The measles outbreak in South Carolina is “accelerating” with no end in sight following Thanksgiving and other large gatherings, state health officials say.

This is so perfect. No one have any doubts at this point about what Elon Musk really represents.

The way the mainstream media cleans up Trump’s racist tirades has long passed the “they’re just making mistakes” phase. This is actively aiding and abetting a racist, tyrannical regime. The ‘mainstream media is the enemy.

This video is confirmation that Putin is paying her. No doubt a Russian operative.

I know firsthand the cost of a fractured progressive field. I’ve lived it. And I will not let it happen again.

YOUR STUDENTS ARE NOT YOUR CUSTOMERS. Get the fuck out of education if that's the way you're talking about them.

Wow -- Russia reportedly plotted last year to plant bombs on US-bound flights (gift link) giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

They’re counting on the American people to not pay attention to current events, not know their own history, & not possess the critical thinking skills to discern good info from bad. And their reliance is all-too-well-placed.

Trump’s henchmen are openly bragging to Republican donors how the MAGA #SCOTUS will help them win elections by ruling the Republican’s way on campaign finance contribution and redistricting cases. Trumpers are counting on right wing judicial coup from Roberts. www.axios.com/newsletters/...

Huh.

Benny Johnson has nothing to hide. by Lindsey Graham, Tim Scott, and Mike Johnson

it’s just undeniable that trump wants everyone to live in a hell where you can’t tell whats real

This absolutely needs to be a campaign. The UK and the EU (Germany especially,) need to get all government business OFF of X. Start with that and charities and other organizations will follow. Come to BlueSky. Cut off the oxygen at X.

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it. So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

Brett Kavanaugh sees no problem with this woman being forced to do this every day for the rest of her life

What happens when people become stateless is terrifying and something most Americans, myself included, never think about. Thankfully, historians abound on BlueSky, Twitter and Reddit. #skystorians #askhistorians youtu.be/3zVRT49ugCY?...

I give it six months before he’s donning a military uniform and giving four-hour speeches from balconies.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.
