This is potentially the biggest scandal of Trump's Presidency - not the stupid help for a bad movie but the very fact of mobilizing the military for any partisan purpose is the most dire threat to democracy in any country. www.businessinsider.com/us-military-...

Media censorship is going to encourage mass revival of pirating, if only to get access to global coverage of events that US media is now censoring. Note you can watch Olympics on the BBC Iplayer with a VPN - and not have to watch it on NBC. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

How is Lutnick not resigning, like today? Crazy top political and corporate leaders are resigning all over the world for far looser connection to Epstein- and Trump cabinet were all in bed with him.

Mexican immigrants to the US are not a significant cause of crime here - but US weapons smuggled into Mexico are driving murder and death in Mexico Maybe Trump should clean up criminal gun makers & smugglers in the US instead of targeting innocent immigrants www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/u...

Can the public sue NBC for billions of dollars for fake news editing just like Trump sues for editing of tapes? Cause this is pure 1984-style editing out of major news from the event www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

How has RFK Jr. not resigned? This was in 2012 - AFTER Epstein has been convicted the first time. Everyone in Trump's cabinet seems to have been connected to Epstein- just a Cabinet of pedophiles and pedophile enablers, from the President on down. www.thedailybeast.com/rfk-jrs-biza...

This Virginia district is repulsive and insult to democracy- and glad Virginia Dems created it, since gerrymandering hell out of every blue state is only way GOP will agree to national ban on gerrymandering. Dem House voted to ban gerrymandering under Biden- but rejected by GOP in Senate.

Race was called originally for another candidate but votes came in putting @analiliafornj.bsky.social in the lead. If this holds it will be a political shock with a AOC-style candidate winning a primary in what was seen as a moderate suburban NJ district.

In many ways Slotkin is worse than Fetterman, who at least doesn't pretend to be helping. Dem leaders already threw away most of their leverage by approving rest of the budget. Since ICE is prefunded, the only leverage now is defunding the rest of DHS- and Slotkin wants to drop that leverage.

There is testimony Trump raped girls There is evidence that Epstein believed he had evidence to blackmail Trump And Epstein's brother thinkd Trump had him murdered Can the mefia admit that Trump is at the center of Epstein allegations?

Bizarre report basically saying Tesla has failed as an electric vehicle maker despite having first mover advantage - but keep investing because it will dominate driverless cars, robots and AI where it faces competition with more developed products. It's a cult. www.cnbc.com/2026/01/29/m...

This may be a fluke- but largest job cuts since 2008-2009 financial crisis is a whopping number. That a chunk of them are in technology field argues that this may be leading edge of downsizing leading to lower consumer demand and more job cuts in classic recessionary cycle.

Why isn't Palantir - compromised by association with Russia spying through Epstein - immediately expelled from every government contract? "Epstein ...infiltrated Russian operatives into Silicon Valley technology companies under cover of his sex trafficking network" bylinetimes.com/2026/02/04/j...

Trump is mentioned repeatedly in the Epstein files because everyone Trump knows was part of Epstein's network of pedophiles or people enabling Epstein's enterprises (which in turn enabled his pedophile activities) www.haaretz.com/us-news/2026...

Sanchez of Spain is strongest left leader in the world at this point, ready to take on big tech where other leaders grovel.

This is depressing. Mamdani killed the primary challenge to Hakeem Jeffries and now he is essentially killing the primary challenge to Hochul. Hope he does good stuff, but he's acting to enhance his own influence while killing off broader transformative political change in the state.

AI industry out in force to attack political opponents. Just got "survey" call about candidates in race to succeed Jerry Nadler- and most of the questions about "would this lie about Alex Bores make you vote against him?" /1

Not that actual biological science will matter to people who say biology should determine who gets to compete in womens sports But here is a major piece of research for those who do care about the science of gender www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

Why is Trump protecting someone who raped a 9-year old? Is it Trump himself or just one of his Cabinet secretaries?

Leadership matters. New York City finally has a mayor who gives a shit. Thank you Zohran Mamdani. 🙌💪👏✊️👇

Who asked these people to set fires? Was it a community-agreed upon strategy? If not, calling it out is local activists having a voice on that strategy and the narrative coming out. Whether you agree or disagree, people have the right to say "this isn't the kind of action we want and it's bad."

Once upon a time- meaning before Trump 2.0 - administrative judges could not be removed without cause so their actions were somewhat independent. Now DHS calls them "deportation judges" and do whatever they are told- so no kind of check on abuse. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

In the U.K., they are tossing out politicians who raped children with Jeffrey Epstein. In the U.S. they are getting promotions, awards, having government buildings named after them, and securing multi-billion dollar government contracts. #FDT #GrossOldPedos www.wral.com/news/ap/bd7d...

This is the key story of Minneapolis- mass organizing of a significant percentage of the population. Rallies are great but building trained networks of activists with real skills to challenge autocracy is the key to defeating the far right over the long term.

There would be ZERO objection if a pale-skinned blond was cast as Helen of Troy - even though almost no one in historic Troy (located in present day Turkey) would have been blond and pale-skinned. This is just racism- but hardly surprising from Murray Murray

Pritzer in the top tier for my list for nominee in 2028. Good policy in Illinois and team fight against Trump.

Just amazing having a mayor who just clearly loves this City- and is just doing stuff to make it better for everyone.

Democracy cannot survive an ever escalating oligarchy that can buy elections. More money doesn't always win but the scale of this kind of spending becomes harder and harder to overcome.

Note the year - 2016. Our government computer security is controlled via Palantir by a close associate of a pedophile criminal. That corporations are not engaged in mass firings of their top officials connected to Epstein shows how completely corrupt our elites are at this point

Don't let the sarcasm distract from how outrageous it is that an institution repeats every outrageous allegation Trump makes as "news" - often as a headline - but won't discuss the clear documented allegations that a sitting President is a child rapist.

So NY Times refused to list multiple accusations of Trump raping girls, saying "The Times is not describing the details of the unverified claims." Wonder if they will apply that standard to the Trump administration making unverified claims against protesters? www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/u...

Nazis were Nazis in 1939- and when we describe Trump and his regime as Nazis, it is that they are only in the Kristallnacht period of masked terrorism and confinement of domestic enemies in ghettos and holding cells. But Trump is accelerating in one year to do more than Hitler did in six years.

Elite political & corporate figures involved with Epstein even after conviction for his initial crimes, is a scandal. That so many of them are in Donald Trump's Cabinet or in MAGA-friendly institutions like Bari Weiss's Free Press/CBS "contrarian" nexus explains a lot of elite support for Trump.

So many ICE thugs should go to jail. Removing any shred of legal immunity and extending statutes of limitations for both criminal and civil legal actions should be top priority for any progressive Project 2029.

This is 2018 email and Weiss's partner is buddy buddy with Epstein discussing meetings with potential in-laws. Whole MAGA world is a nest of pedophiles and pedophile enablers.

Problem with many "centrist" pundits is not just that they are wrong but that they are corrupt, on the payroll of corporate donors and payoffs. Caution is reasonable but always look at who is paying their bills when politicians and pundits advocate preemptive surrender.

Thid is the goal. Replace legal immigrants with a whole class of slave labor wthout rights to demand higher pay. This is the oligarchy's payoff from ethnic cleansing

By logic of indictment, every ICE agent should be indicted since have denied people of right to religion (too scared to attend church), right to education, right to speak and a whole litany of rights. And ICE is a more proper target since govt denial of rights is traditional target of laws cited.

Amazing thing about congestion pricing- it's cutting the commute times significantly for people OUTSIDE the congestion zone. People who benefit most from getting cars off the road are...the rest of the people who are still driving.

There are more than 340 million Americans NOT named in the Epstein files. Seems like a low bar for appointment to find a Fed Chair not associated with a pedophile trafficker of children. www.rawstory.com/kevin-warsh/...

Worth noting that means even Fetterman voted for this.

Bizarre. Dem leaders & activists have made preserving Biden expansions of Obamacare subsidies key fight with Trump. Also marshaled major public support attacking Trump for undermining Biden's expansion of SNAP/Food Stamps. It's candidates who run against Biden's legacy that will lose in 2028.

This is supposed to be an insult but its kind of a love letter to the immigrant values Scandinavians brought with them: solidarity, empathy and an avoidance of rudeness.

On 250th anniversary of US Revolution, we need to talk incessantly about Boston Massacre. Where 200 colonists threw ice, sticks & stones at the King's soldiers who then killed colonists The soldiers had no immunity, but were tried under Boston province law. /1 www.battlefields.org/learn/articl....

MAGA will no doubt claim that people in power get all sorts of false reports made about their behavior. Which can be true. But oddly, no similar accusations so far in the files about Joe Biden, Obama or even, shockingly, Bill Clinton

So can the media stop claiming there are no allegations of Trump being involved in pedophilia and forced sexual assault on minors? Of course, he was already found to have raped E. Jean Carroll by a jury- but media seems incapable of calling Trump an adjudicated rapist. www.tmz.com/2026/01/30/t...

If Jeffries holds out for explicit federal law that state and local authorities can investigate and convict federal ICE officials, I will give him full credit. That is the most real protection Dems can fight for- almost anything else will be ignored by Trump.

Mamdani is doing what 99% of politicians fail to do- which is educate public about how government works, which helps stop bullshit propaganda against it. This is essentially Schoolhouse Rock civics but desperately needed in a time of Trumpist civic nihilism.
