“Trump may be racist but you’re fat” isn’t the sick burn whatever moron runs the GOP account thinks it is

passive murdering of a class of people through callous indifference and cruelty isn't any less genocidal than active murdering is, it's just slower.

It is fun sometimes to take lies at face value. For example, it would be a scandal if a random staffer has access to post anything they want on the President's social media, it is basically giving the access to the biggest loudspeaker on the planet, and would be ripe for potential abuse.

Because we are all sick of ice and ICE let's take a moment to think about "green harmony."

Always interested in a discussion of gender, age & autonomy but the Epstein case isn't about those things. The issue isn't just the age of the girls, it is the age & power of the men. It is about exploitation and evil. It was never about dating.

I thought @asyousow.bsky.social's Andy Behar made some terrific points here. www.linkedin.com/redir/redire...

A year ago I was in great despair in part because few people outside of DC seemed realize the level of idiocy and of this administration. One thing that feels better now is that I feel less alone. There are so many people resisting.

Probably just a coincidence, right?🤷‍♀️

Every time I think it is not possible for me to have more respect and affection for the people of Minneapolis, they do something like this.

the $75 million Jeff Bezos set on fire for that Melania propaganda piece could have funded most independent newsrooms for literally decades

So this is obviously a choice by Bezos but we all have our choices to make too. I cancelled @washingtonpost.com a while back & subscribed to @inquirer.com. Some of the choices are difficult: we still have Prime, but I spend little there. What choices have you made during current oligarch crisis?

Never forget: Pam Bondi and Kash said there was nothing in the Epstein files back in March

Maybe, like me, you need to see several people post this before you take the time to watch it. It is worth your time to watch the entire thing. Awful, yet I felt inspired.

He literally pulled a "you should smile more" IN RESPONSE TO AN EPSTEIN QUESTION.

Looking at the filing from Disney this morning. Does Bob Iger continue to get the same pay as "senior advisor" as he did as CEO? There's a whole lot of money splashing around, like a flume ride or something.

Few examples better illustrate the UK’s broken corporate model than thousands of homes across Kent being left without water. Our researcher, Paddy Goffey, writes in @LeftFootFwd outlining the need for CEO to worker pay gap caps in such failing industries: leftfootforward.org/2026/01/why-...

Fewer SEC comment letters ≠ no scrutiny. Even as the volume falls, a recent reviews of #$NVDA shows the Staff is still questioning material non-GAAP adjustments: @fmckenna.bsky.social deepquarry.substack.com/p/sec-commen...

So much tragedy has already hit these particular immigrants. And thr US played a tremendous role in how Haiti became the country we know today.

1000 times.

The phrase “everyone will be talking about tomorrow” seems dated when we’re sharing the Grammy’s live

Bari Weiss darling CBS's Peter Attia skipped out on visiting his baby son in the ICU so he could meet with Jeffrey Epstein. How many times are we going to discover something about someone in conservative circles and think, "That would never make it out of a writers' room. It's too over-the-top."

A tan suit dominated weeks of coverage about Obama. “Declining cognition” fueled months of nonstop coverage about Biden, entire books were written. Now, evidence of crimes against children brings… silence. What changed isn’t morality. It’s impunity and media cowardice.

They indeed didn't disband; they just moved to Washington with Trump.

Left the block for the first time since the snow fell. I went to the cannabis store and the library. Make of that what you will.

Is this the new hire at @cbsnews.com?

What I’m seeing here is that Epstein is a nexus point for the “intellectual” cabal that shores up the race science justifying our current immigration and anti-DEI policies (Huberman), as well the tone policing moderates (Brooks) that hamstrings oppositions. Oh and their billionaire benefactors.

Patriotic opposition to Trump’s autocracy is radiating outward from Minneapolis The democracy movement has grown in response—& continues to spread Reflections in my latest Publisher’s Note on @contrariannews.org 👇 -TN

Good grief. Can we all unite (including people who claimed to be pro-life & pro-child) to take down some of the less powerful pedophiles? Is that really so hard? We can work our way up. I never heard of Peter Attia before it my life, but I've heard enough.

My 92 year old mother sent me the link last night to the official video version of Springsteen's new song with instructions to watch it "but not at bedtime." I'm 61 years old. Of course I listened to my mother. Tried to watch it now and the link doesn't work, so hoping it was not a scam thing.

Spending time today going over to twitter, unfollowing folks. People stay there because of the numbers, but the numbers are false, so I'm doing what I can. I'm also going to block some bots and make some reports as needed. Good trouble I can do from my desk.

I’m going through some anticipatory grief these days for my sister. Does it count toward my required allotment of grief? So I’ll have less after she dies?

Minnesota is grieving. But we’re resolved. The support we’ve received from across the country has energized us, and given us hope. It’s time for the federal government to draw down their forces and let us get back to allowing freedom, opportunity, and security – for everyone.

Just saw a typo and I thought, "Well I know AI didn't write that." And wondering again how the world will change as authenticity and trust become valuable commodities. Or at least I hope that happens. But I thought Covid would awaken respect for science so my record isn't good.

Congrats & thanks to everyone involved in Shrinking. The first episode of season 3 was darn near perfect. Enough clever humor to make me feel like I was a sophisticated consumer of art rather than the silly sentimental sniffling human I am. Thanks @cjhoke.bsky.social (only writer I found here)

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

Prepare for white hot rage www.huffpost.com/entry/liam-c...

Liam himself is five goddamned years old and should be at home with an adult he trusts right now no matter who his parents are. It would not matter if they were literal criminal masterminds, Liam Ramos is a baby and babies do not belong in prison.

Free Liam.

Starbuck's CEO Brian Niccol may have the longest history of extraordinary pay ratios, having made more than 1,000 times median employee at his company for 10 years (prior to Starbucks it was a Chipotle & Yum Brands). This year Nicols comp of $30.99 million. The median employee earned $17,279.

Jew in Amsterdam here. Please use Anne Frank as a comparison point to explain how state persecution of scapegoats impacts children, that is the point of her example, thanks

This is testimony… 📌 Stella Carlson, “Pink coat lady”, speaks on the murder of Alex Pretti. “After the shooting, they (ICE) decided to just scatter and save themselves.”

I haven't seen any news reports confirming this, but we have been helping an immigrant who was transferred to a privately run ICE detention facility in Arizona who reports there is now a measles outbreak. So the incompetence and malevolence of ICE and RFK Jr are colliding with human lives at stake.

The hollow corporate response to the Minnesota killings open.substack.com/pub/populari...

Trump hopes to change the topic of conversation today with his parents in Iowa. I think the chances are pretty good that it will be changed back to his evident decline and dementia as additional reasons he’s unfit for the office.

I continue to believe that the fastest way to get Stephen Miller fired is to convince Trump that Miller's ICE operations are what cost him the Nobel Peace Prize.

I wish everything at Davos gets the Mystery Science Theater 3000 treatment.

Let’s focus on this case next

Vote-no campaigns by investor orgs using exemption solicitations (via PX14A6G filings) are effectively dead - as are follow-up solicitations from shareholder proposal proponents that own less than $5 million in shares #CorpGov

You have to find humor where you can

Did only enough digging out from the storm to exhaust myself, but each time I used the shovel reminded myself that I getting rid of ice. So that felt good.
