Oh, so guns *do* kill people? Gotcha.
Oh, so guns *do* kill people? Gotcha.
I think that since the overwhelming majority of mass shooters are cisgender men, we should take their guns first.
Yep. Looks right.
Spencer Kuvin, Epstein's victims' lawyer, says the FBI interviewed 40+ girls, some just 14, and prepared a 54-count indictment. Then came the secret plea deal that let Epstein walk. Those interviews are in the files. Kuvin says Alan Dershowitz scoured the girls' MySpace pages to smear them as liars.
"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." โ Michael Okuda How quick we forget.
So. New semester for my grad program. Both professors sent out their first messages to the class, both are basically โeverything is fucked thanks to ongoing collapse of the administrative state and Iโm trying to rebuild my syllabus on the fly, good luck and godspeedโ
To the brave women who spoke today about the horrors of Epstein/Maxwell, I say this: For any legal concerns about speaking the names of people who sexually abused you and others, have no fear of legal expenses; I'm sure plenty of angry Americans will help fund you. Count me in. Get it done.
Those guys were probably drug runners (which doesn't make blowing them up legal) but how are we to really know, particularly with an administration led by a president who is a known liar? If I'm in a boat and some Coast Guard guy decides I might have drugs do they get to just blow me up?
AOC: If anybody says โthis isnโt fair, I'm gonna have to divest all my stocks if I run for congressโ maybe you should stay home.
For my own mental health, Iโm going to keep imagining heโs dead.
"and many of them are on the younger side"...
Massie (R-KY) is just on fire: "I don't know if that's precedented in this country to have a president call legislators to say that they're engaged in a hostile act, particularly when the so-called hostile act is trying to get justice for people who've been victims of sex crimes." #TrumpEpstein
The overall takeaway from the Epstein survivorsโ press conference is that they are united and are no longer going to allow rich and powerful men to victimize, silence and intimidate them. Including the ones in Congress and the perp in the Oval Office.
BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two. Every day, we inch closer to fascism.

Meet Candon Dahle, Why isn't he not in jail for life? Bingham County Idaho THIS CHILD RAPIST was sentence to 180 days in jail for raping a 7 year old girl for 5 years, part of the plea deal was that he would not have to register as a sex offender. WOW: (white privilege )
I just hope that he can soon thank Ashli Babbitt in person for her service.
Labour creates all wealth - true today more than ever, as the billionaire class steals untold millions from our pockets. This Labour Day, celebrate the workers who make Canada better for us all. youtu.be/R8eK9ZXf-Ow?...
Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.

Mass shooters since 2018 who were transgender, total of 4. Mass shooters since 2018 who were not transgender, total of more than 4,000. Transgender folks are 1.0% of the population and they make up less than 0.1% of the mass shooters.
Thoughts and prayers. Did I do this right?
If his hand gets any blacker, he's not going to let it vote.
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
My dream is for it to happen like it does to vampires. When the leader kicks the bucket, the rest of them burst into flames.

What a fucking loser move.

Gavin Newsom single handedly landed a 747 while giving CPR to 12 children on the plane, tutoring 2 college students in Philosophy and 4 in Law, and dropping food pallets that landed directly into poor people's kitchen.
If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.

I'm wondering: in 2028, when trump tries to put himself on the ballot for a third term, whether states are prepared to keep him off the ballot and what the Supreme Court will do. I think it's pretty clear cut, but I thought that about immunity, Dobbs, and section 3 of the 14th Amendment, too.
