"I’m a team player, I don’t really like being the center of attention. I’d rather be playing guitar than singing, I’ve always had that approach. I don’t really like all the spotlight at this stage of the game, at 66 years old. But it is what it is." #HappyBirthday to #SteveJones
Losers then, losers now.
Just listened to an interview with The New York Times' Sheryl Gay Stolberg. Someone who attended prep school with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recalled watching him place metal cutlery under the dining hall table and holding a lighter to them. This was so the boy clearing the table would burn his hands.
big, strong men calling you ‘sir’
Emory University just closed all our DEI offices and programs. This is egregious.

"Wow, I can't believe Epstein killed himself before realizing it was all a hoax" @laugh-about-it.bsky.social
The strike on a Venezuelan vessel was nothing less than extrajudicial mass murder and an act of war, whether or not it was carrying drugs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8uJ...
Epstein survivor: "Mr President Donald J Trump, I am a registered Republican -- not that that matters, because this is not political. However, I cordially invite you to the Capitol to meet me in person so you can understand this is not a hoax."

Wherever there's an inspiring younger candidate for office, rest assured that the leadership of the congressional Democrats will do whatever they can to snuff it the fuck out. Jeffries already has Mamdani covered, so Schumer is going to take down Platner.
Courts are really clearing their throats in the past five days.
About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”
Imagine ANY Democrat saying something so stupid. @mrfishcartoons.bsky.social

And here we go
The most beautiful statement I have heard for at least the last 6 months...was this morning, when one of Epstein's survivors said the group will be creating their OWN list of powerful people who do REALLY BAD things.🔥 You could hear all of the guilty...and terrified sphincter's slamming shut.
#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1921: The Battle of Blair Mountain ends as the West Virginia Army National Guard arrives to intervene in a conflict between some 10,000 armed coal miners and 3,000 lawmen and strikebreakers. It was the largest labor uprising in U.S. history. /1
a tricky situation!
so manic mind today! but not in a useful way 😔
The rightwingers literally want you dead, no one with compassion in their heart would even implemebt this.
Chilling moment at the Epstein presser in DC: victims described living in fear of retribution from powerful men. Leaving them too terrified to even say their names.
McGovern: "You guys think you work for Trump ... Let me repeat -- every single Republican on the Rules Committee voted against releasing the Epstein files. Every single one. We heard last night that all Republicans want full transparency. But that's just not true."
The fact that he's talking about Baltimore when Baltimore *very famously* lowered their crime rate significantly under the current mayor...tells you everything you need to know. He's gonna come after Minneapolis when we elect a new mayor, folks.

lol a long and stumbling conspiracy-theory filled presentation by Mike Benz at NatCon conference had to be stopped by organizers. "I'm on page 3 of 30" he said while being led off stage.

When people say “I want my kids to have things I never had the opportunity to have,” I did not realize they meant measles.
this chart is crazy—it’s showing the jump in the share of all federal adjusted gross income going to households making above $500k a year in minnesota. the increase is because of all first-term Trump policies that benefit folks at the top.
Verizon expects to pay $2 BILLION less in taxes next year. Lumen Tech has requested a $400 MILLION tax refund. Diamondback Energy is projecting its cash tax rate to drop by 4%. That's billions less for America. And their CEOs and shareholders will keep it all. Great.
Let's pretend he's dead every weekend
Let me guess, @brooklynspoke.bsky.social, it wasn't cheap, either. Was it?
President Donald Trump’s plan to rig the 2026 midterms continues, this time in Missouri, where the GOP-controlled legislature began a special session to pass a new redistricting map that would eliminate one of two Democrat-held US House districts and net Republicans an additional seat.
They bombed without warning a non-threatening small boat, which is insane and a violation of international law even if it was carrying contraband which we have no way of knowing, and then gleefully shared it as a snuff video.
Davies: And his biggest brag forever was that he was very good friends with Donald Trump. He had an eight by ten framed picture of him on his desk with the two of them, like they were very close.
😔
Man, they REALLY don’t want to hang that plaque honoring the police officers who defended the Capitol on Jan 6. @acyn.bsky.social
Ghislaine transported people from St. Thomas to Epstein's Island and back after their stay using her helicopters. Maxwell was a licensed helicopter pilot and owned 2 helicopters We will never know all those who got transported: Underaged girls. Famous adult males who didn't want to be tracked.
" How did you find out over the weekend that you were dead?" —Boy Doocy Amazing that you can bomb this hard in front of the United States without the Secret Service stepping in.
the right is genuinely so afraid of zohran mamdani it’s quite astounding to witness them openly bribe in such a pathetic way
Kinda hard to avoid the feeling that the military flyovers taking place over D.C. right now are intentional as ordered to interfere with the Epstein survivors press conference on the Hill. Survivors have paused their remarks until the flyovers pass.
“I’m demanding justice,” Lisa Phillips, a model who was brought to Epstein’s island in 2000, said. “Congress must choose. Will you continue to protect predators? Or will you finally protect survivors?” Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Moskowitz: Do you think the Epstein list should come out? Farage: I have no opinion on it. Raskin: It’s been reported that he’s called for it to be released Moskowitz: I have it here. Do you agree with yourself?
Epstein survivor Marina Lacerda: "The worst part is that the government is still in possession right now of documents & information that could help me remember and get over all of this maybe, and help me heal. They have documents w/ my name on them that were confiscated from Jeffrey Epstein's house"
All @oversightdemocrats.house.gov members spoke to the press for 45 minutes after the closed-door meeting w/ Oversight GOP and the women victimized by Epstein & Maxwell. You should watch all. I’d like to point to some notable comments by @crockett.house.gov & @repstansbury.bsky.social

omg, the ‘advice’ 😱
A federal appeals court has blocked the Trump administration from invoking wartime powers under the Alien Enemies Act to deport migrants. In a 2-1 decision, the court rejected the claim that immigration (even on a large scale) constitutes a military breach of U.S. borders.
“.. Quite a hot mic moment on CCTV in Beijing today as Putin and Xi, both 72 years old, are caught casually talking about living to 150 and maybe forever thanks to organ transplants. (As picked up by Bloomberg.)” (via @yarotrof.bsky.social)
tacky gold plated city on the hill
And THIS is parenting 101!
A victim of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein has revealed how a group of survivors is compiling a client list of their own.
One reader’s take on the bag that was thrown out of the window of the White House.
Reid: Bondi is not a real AG. She just works for Trump. All these U.S. attorneys — what’s her name from Fox (who I hope is sober) — she’s not a real U.S. attorney. She works for Trump. They’ve gutted the DOJ. The DOJ doesn’t exist. The FBI doesn’t exist. It’s all just Trump’s employees.
New in PN: Potemkin village populism "Unlike the fake villages Potemkin erected, Trump’s theaters of cruelty are not harmless diversions. And while he imagines Americans cheering him, his performative sadism is only a winning strategy in his own mind. In reality, he’s becoming more & more reviled."
very few ppl are as talented and fortunate as bill cunningham. but i often think about how he was able to live an honest life doing what he loved because he lived simply. even at the height of his career, he slept on a cot. as he once said, "if you don’t take money, they can’t tell you what to do."
If you can track the boat on camera to slaughter everyone aboard then you can track the boat on camera to intercept the boat and arrest them

Stupid doesn’t even know the facts.
So our military just bombed a boat in international waters and extrajudicially killed suspected drug traffickers without so much as a conversation, let alone a trial? Then posted it on social media? And we’re all supposed to just trust their account?
Rudy says if the police try to charge the 19 year old woman with something who was involved in the car crash with him he will refuse to testify against her.
In 2007, Ghislaine Maxwell became a licensed helicopter pilot. Epstein bought her a helicopter so she could transport people without commercial pilots knowing who was being taken, ensuring secrecy and privacy. She called her helicopter Air Ghislaine 2.

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. He's way less dead than I hoped.

i found my old account. i can use it but want a lot of the other pins.
BREAKING: The GOP Oversight Committee dumped 33,000 pages, what's the revelation? Absence of information. 97% was already public. No client list. No blackmail. No murder cover-up. This isn’t transparency, it’s a shell game. Stop playing the American people. RELEASE THE REAL FILES NOW.
But I thought the Trump admin was trying to fight crime in DC. Open carry isn’t legal, but they’re going to turn a blind eye? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE! 🚨 U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro directed her office to no longer seek felony charges against individuals carrying rifles or shotguns in D.C.
Do it scared. Do it anxious. Do it nervous. Do it tired. Do it frustrated. Do it stuck. Do it badly. Do it crying. Do it embarrassed. Do it kicking and screaming. Just get it done.
