I do! Hopefully Iāll get a full refund
They are just sick, sick sadists

I have this fridge! Is there nothing these people wonāt take from me???
Fuuuuuuuuccccccckkkkkk
my finger is just a bloody nub at this point i've been tapping the sign so much
Oh my god. Seeing this stuff today is making me actually physically ill. Donāt know whatās different about today but I just canāt take it. All these poor people, well everywhere really

NEW: i spoke to nine (!) scientists across several disciplines whose work was cited in the new Department of Energy report that downplays the severity of climate change. all of them say their work was misrepresented, cherry picked, and/or lacked context ā

How is this real? Like theyāre not just letting him steal, theyāre actively helping him do it. This would be impeachment and conviction based on nothing less than treason if it were any other president doing it, past and future
Hey everyone! Just want you to try to remember we are living through a counterrevolution! Specifically, that 2011-2020 saw an uprising and an upswell of organizing, resistance, and working class power that matched that of the 60s, in the US yes but around the globe.

This thread. Some new info: Epstein apparently wrote a letter to *Larry Nassar*. Uhhhh
Those Pulitzers have been reaffirmed in several nonpartisan reviews & NYT/Post cleared of any such allegations. We all now know there was indeed Russian interference in 2016. However thatās moot/red herring as my point was to show that features are a legit form of journalism contrary to your post.
Newspaper journalism loosely falls into 2 typesāhard news & features. By definition this feature takes a POV, precluding a ācomplete & fairā take. Thatās not advocacy nor intellectually dishonest. In fact the Inquirerās won 2 Pulitzers in feature writing. Nice straw man/red herring tho. Good troll
I think this reply may not be for me, but Iāll address it. It seems like you havenāt read the article, as if you did, youād know that itās not focused on one particular individual, but rather a wide range of riders of a bus line at risk of elimination across the full run of a typical day.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT????
Happy you feel people who donāt own land should be able to vote. But I certainly canāt know anything right or wrong about you until you tell me. Surely you donāt think that public buses serve only one person as your OP intimates. But what else were you trying to convey there? Is this just a troll?

Sounds like youāre saying itās too much for taxpayers to fund public transportation. Are you saying that? I have a feeling you think only landowners should have the right to vote as well. Happy to be wrong

Trump won't always be the president, but Columbia will always be the prestigious university that willingly caved to the vindictive whims of a fascist administration.
Yeah 80s. I feel you, but as I was growing up relatively comfortably (but def not wealthy) in 70s/80s, most friends/classmates I knew had a full bed unless they were sharing a room.

We just translated a wave of our ICE coverage into Spanish. No paywall, no email signup necessary. From leaks about Palantir's work with ICE to ICE's new facial recognition app, we think there is a massive public interest in this info. Read why and support us here: www.404media.co/were-publish...
A political messaging strategy of choosing not to express alarm about things a huge proportion of voters are profoundly alarmed about, not to express anger about things so many voters are boiling mad about, not to offer hope about things so many are growing hopeless about, is absolutely deranged.
The fuck???
So this is something they absolutely could have and should have done and it always blows my mind when I think about it
Hate to be this person, but a president doesnāt need to be convicted in impeachment to be barred from public office. Senate can bar someone from future office with a simple majority vote without the 2/3rds needed for conviction, and you can bar someone under 14th Amendment for insurrection (sorry)
This is really something. Too bad none of the people who need to hear this will
At the very least what they could have actually done is bar him from public office, but they were too scared to do even that
yeeeeeeessssssssssssss
There's literally never been a trans woman who has ever competed on any US Olympic team despite trans people having been eligible since 2004.

My god. There is nowhere too small for Trump to try and turn back the clock past the Civil Rights era, through the New Deal, to before the Civil War. His racism is seething and heās just spitting it out all over us www.nytimes.com/2025/07/22/c...
What terrible news. It's exactly what I was talking about in this thread I posted last week on mosquitoes in concentration camp history and the likelihood of that history repeating in the Everglades today. bsky.app/profile/andr...
This story from NZ broke nearly concurrently with the latest on Trump/Epstein. This is what Freud couldn't face when his patients told him their stories: that sexual abuse of children is rampant & can implicate some of the most powerful men in a society. www.bps.org.uk/psychologist...
As promised, in light of the WaPo report of Everglades camp detainees being swarmed by mosquitoes in the shower and unable to sleep at night due to being bitten, I want to briefly address concentration camp history and mosquitoes. I won't be comprehensive but will give a few examples. [1/17]
Iām really gonna ask you please not to turn your nose up at the WSJ story and sneer that itās a distraction. These men harmed real people. They used their power and money to trap and abuse them. Thatās not a distraction, actually. Thatās central to what matters.
Creepiest part of all this is it genuinely seems like the most intimate friendship heās ever had
More bad news: Rebekah del Rio has died of brain cancer. One of the most brilliant artists Iāve ever seen. Mulholland Drive and Southland Tales are worth the watch for her alone. RIP www.nytimes.com/2025/07/11/a...

Publish it again. Every journalist who has published Epstein stuff before should just publish it again.
This piece is so timely right now.
