Release the Epstein files!!!!
@holykoolaid.bsky.social delivers a striking eulogy for Charlie Kirk. Factual. Documented. Well delivered.
He dropped out of college after 1 semester.
This is even dumber now that we know he went to college for one semester then dropped out.
Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences: www.404media.co/charlie-kirk...
“The U.S. is drifting into an undeclared war of assassination across half a hemisphere, led by unaccountable officials … …the Supreme Court’s ruling that presidents are immune from prosecution for “official acts.” Experts warned this would give the commander-in-chief license to commit murder. …”
Lot of in the Epstein/JP Morgan piece to cause revulsion. I’m stuck here: “even during his jail sentence, JPMorgan continued wiring money from his accounts to banks in Russia and Eastern Europe, where young women were being drawn into his sex-trafficking network, according to sealed court records”

NEW: Epstein wired huge amounts of money to two people, and Trump and Bondi want to keep their names secret. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...
I really resent my tax dollars being spent on this
No big deal, just one of Trump’s lawyers claiming a bullshit ability for the President to take over state elections. This, on the same day Trump threatened to declare war on an American city. He does not care about the rule of law or the Constitution. He only cares about his own power. - NB
"The White House also denounced the Smithsonian’s planned National Museum of the American Latino." One side is *definitely* politicizing art. ICYMI @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-war-...
De Georgiou: And to be clear, the only motive for opposing this bill would be to conceal wrongdoing. You have a choice: stand with the truth or with the lies that have protected predators for decades.
The Matterhorn! 40 year bucket list item accomplished!
An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
Reminds me of the memorial stones for the disappeared folks, including, but not exclusively Jews, in Amsterdam!
NEW: Late Friday night, a federal judge blocked the Trump administration's unlawful and cruel fast-track deportation policy. This win is a blow to the president's anti-immigrant agenda. Immigrants have the right to due process and to live without fear of being torn from their families.
I don't know what they have on Tulsi Gabbard, but it's gotta be so bad that she's dedicated the rest of her life to following orders and thus ensuring it never sees the light of day.
Replacing reason with superstition is a feature of religion and totalitarianism. Thank you for coming to my TED talk on the madness of RFK, Jr. and MAHA.
What’s wild to me: NOW, media outlets & medical organizations are “stunned” by the damage RFK Jr. is doing to CDC, other health agencies, & public health. Me & my colleagues have been screaming about him for years. Years. Even more so in the last year. We were called hyperbolic. 1/
Kharkiv tonight. People chanting “Putin Khuylo”, which essentially means Putin go f yourself
From the Anne Frank museum: excerpts of her diary, life and death in a concentration camp. The bookcase that hid her family’s small rooms. An excerpt of a childs life. Theres only one reason to ban this, so they can repeat it…
I like the word patriarchy, especially in this context:
If DOJ has a strong criminal case against Abrego Garcia, they should welcome the chance to prove his guilt at trial. This offer of guilty plea or Uganda is coercive. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Meanwhile..
🚨 Mayor Wu faces criminal charges because she is decent. We all know what ⏰ it is. Of course you are going after a female POC first. She is a “suspicious person” in 2025.
I can't believe this isn't bigger news! A cover-up! Of course, he's doing this!! How are we not freaking out even more about this?? Epstein files 🗂️
The Smithsonian's "White Culture" Graphic Has Conservatives Freaking Out The White House just declared war on a museum pamphlet that dares to tell the truth about whiteness. Here's why. belib.org/qgllcru
Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files

A federal judge ordered that no more immigrant detainees be sent to the “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center in the Florida Everglades, and that much of the facility be dismantled. The ruling rebuked the state and federal governments for failing to consider potential environmental harms.

BREAKING: EXCLUSIVE: Senator Whitehouse asked the BOP for Ghislaine Maxwells sex offender waiver, custody level, transfer code, and security point score. I have them. She's also been granted the ability to leave the facility for work assignments. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...
Jordy Meiselas: ICE didn't just lower the age requirement—they removed the age requirement. Now, at any age—you can go and join. They've riled up their base and have given them one lane to occupy: take out your anger, become an ICE agent, and chase down migrants. They are preying on people's hate.

“This is like two teams coming out of the locker room at halftime and the team that’s ahead saying they want to change the rules in the second half to make sure they win. If they’re gonna cheat, we’re not gonna play.” — Texas State Rep. James Talarico @jamestalarico.bsky.social
The next action or effort is when you organize it. The only credential you need is being alive. The best partner for your efforts is any good faith person who wants to live freely and decently.
This week marks the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, but there’s not a lot to celebrate. There is, however, a positive action that you can take, right now, to help. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
A federal appeals court ruled Friday that President Trump can proceed, at least for now, with an executive order directing numerous federal agencies to end collective bargaining with government employee unions.
This is Virginia Guiffre's statement to Ghislane Maxwell, read by Guiffre's attorney in court the day Maxwell was sentenced. I had to divide it into 2 parts. Please read each & share. These are the words of a child rape victim, a victim of the monster Trump now protecting & arranging her freedom.

Wonder why your energy bill has been getting so much more expensive? Blame Donald Trump and Republicans. They chose to hike your rates so billionaires could get a tax break. grist.org/energy/why-y...
www.yahoo.com/news/article... longlining is an indiscriminate form of deep-sea fishing that can catch and kill many kinds of unintended wildlife.
The 9th district court affirmed what we already knew: you can’t just snatch people up for being brown and working hard. Not in the fields, not in a Home Depot parking lot, and NOT on our watch. This is a victory for the many, and not by the few. 1/
BREAKING: We're suing ICE for unlawfully targeting and arresting people who show up to court for their immigration hearings.
A university scientist who discovered alarming levels of toxic chemicals in a lake in southeastern Louisiana was abruptly removed from her research position this week without explanation
Great work, John Roberts. You’ve played a key role in wrecking our beloved country.

The price of 1 lb of ground beef is now higher than the federal minimum hourly wage…
NEW: We filed a class action lawsuit against the Trump administration’s new policy taking away immigrants’ ability to seek release on bond from ICE custody. Indefinite detention is cruel and unconstitutional — everyone is entitled to due process.
NEW: We now know what Bove lied to Congress about according to the 3rd whistleblower. He lied when he said he didn’t offer promotions for DoJ lawyers who helped him dismiss the Eric Adams case and consequences for those who didn’t. There is audio evidence. Gift link: wapo.st/4fdVVmX

just went to immigration court in Lower Manhattan to see with my own eyes how masked and armed federal agents are apprehending people in the hallways as they walk out of their scheduled hearings.
BREAKING: After the Jan. 6 insurrection, nearly 250 companies pledged to no longer donate to lawmakers who voted against certifying the 2020 election. But over 2,000 corporate and industry group PACs have donated over $174 million since then.

Ryan Walters, the Oklahoma schools chief who wants bibles in the classroom and Christianity taught to kids, just got caught watching adult content. On his work computer. During a Board of Education meeting. Read that again. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/ryan-walte...
Trump and Epstein were named as co-defendants in a lawsuit accusing them of raping 13 year old Katie Johnson. She ended up dropping the lawsuit after receiving death threats for her and her family. This is not new evidence. This cannot be covered up. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory
It’s genocide, and the US is complicit.
Sarah Ransome: “We were raped by #Epstein & Ghislaine & the system raped us again. If the FBI & governmental institutions listened to Maria Farmer in 1996, I wouldn’t have been raped. Why has it taken this long to get one conviction? And who is responsible behind that? Who are the people covering?”
This.
Reminder that Greg Kelly was accused of rape and the investigation was dropped when he was father the was police commissioner www.huffpost.com/entry/greg-k...
In early 2025, Arizona lawmakers introduced HB 2528, a bill that would raise the minimum marriage age to 18, with no exceptions, thereby eliminating all marriages involving minors. As of March 2025, the bill is still pending in the legislature.

During his 1st term in office, even after a bipartisan, Congress passed sanctions against Russia, Trump dragged his feet on implementing them for months. Now he seeks something more, the power to take Congress‘s job away and do it himself, part of a trend of trying to seize all the power of gov’t.
An Afghan immigrant who helped U.S. troops deployed into the war against the Taliban was arrested and detained by federal immigration agents in Connecticut last week.
California’s DMV says Tesla should lose its license to sell cars in the state, as the company fights allegations of misleading drivers into thinking its vehicles can operate autonomously without human oversight.
UnitedHealthcare is raising premiums for policyholders in New York and Washington after spending $9B on stock buybacks last year. Healthcare companies are robbing you blind to enrich their executives and shareholders. This is why we need Medicare for All.

The downsizing of the National Weather Service and the NOAA appears to be part of an effort to privatize the work of such agencies. In several instances, the companies poised to step into the void have deep ties to people tapped by Trump to run weather-related agencies. apnews.com/article/trum...
