Absolutely the fuck not.

Note: The “preliminary hearing” scheduled for today could be quite interesting & consequential. It’s not an initial appearance—it’s a probable cause hearing in which the magistrate decides whether to dismiss the complaint. Witnesses could be called, with cross examination by the defense.

As O’Brien called it in 2/25 “the USA is being run by an organized crime-like syndicate, and is selling off US secrets, capabilities and influence in the most grotesque and open ways.” How could the (military) tech CEOs who went all in with Trump not realize this would not end well for them?

A sister-ship to a previous cable/pipe-sabotage vessel is creeping back and forth across gas pipelines and power cables connecting UK to mainland Europe.

Katie Johnson, 13, reported Epstein and Trump argued over who would take her virginity, and Epstein became angry and violently raped her when he learned that Donald Trump had done so. As shown by official FBI interview notes, Johnson, through her attorney, reported these alleged crimes to the FBI.

“DOJ lawsuits are press releases with government captions at the top.” @marcelias.bsky.social hits the nail on the head.

The thing about RFK Jr is that he’s not just a eugenicist who peddles extreme and dangerous anti-science, anti-vaccine conspiracy theories that cause suffering, pain, and death, but he’s also a vile racist piece of s**t

Well played

HHS wants a new Medicare code that pays doctors extra only when they attribute a patient’s symptoms to a vaccine. Vaccine critics say doctors are paid to push vaccines. We aren’t. Under this code, we’d be paid to blame them. My new piece in @cidrap.bsky.social: www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va...

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

it feels truly insane that it’s not

Bullshit. They could simply not have met with him. They deserve what they get.

I asked UNH's archivist to create a file of letters protesting the "weeding" of 30% of the library's books. Future researchers need to know faculty did not let the books "go gentle into that good night" (30+ books on Dylan Thomas to be culled). 🗃️ #skystorians www.unionleader.com/opinion/op-e...

They filed this on the literal LAST day before the statute of limitations expired. Literally, the very last day. Give me a break. This is garbage.

A group of former federal prosecutors and human rights lawyers is coming together to investigate political corruption and law enforcement violence that it says is being ignored by the Trump DOJ. "The rule of law is on life support, but it's all of our responsibility to make sure it doesn't die."

I'm going to say this for probably the 20th time now .... Comey was an Original Classification Authority at the time he allegedly disseminated the national defense information at issue here. Assuming it was FBI information, he had the authority to declassify it at his discretion.

Comey: Well, they're back again. It would almost be funny if it weren't such an appalling abuse of the DOJ. One that we cannot become numb to. Nothing's changed with me. I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid of these people. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary.
